As we are experiencing many small businesses closing their doors, or cutting hours due to a lack of employees and or reduction in customers, All The Buzz in Wanamingo is growing!
I would like to introduce you to the newest employee at the salon, Mackenzi Markham. She lives in Rochester, and is the granddaughter of Barb Peterson from Kenyon. Mackenzie recently joined the crew to add new amenities to the offerings in Wanamingo. She recently finished her schooling from NOVA in Rochester in March of this year. All The Buzz has been looking to add to their many faceted menu, offering their customers a fuller experience in the world of beauty! After reaching out to Jamie Sommers, owner of All The Buzz, she was hired as the new Esthetician/Cosmetologist.
As I conducted our interview, I was amazed at all the services an esthetician can offer. I always thought only of skin care, but Mackenzie can offer you so much more. Her focus is on women and children, and she loves to help others look and feel their best. The services she offers are many, so I will give you a list, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact her at All The Buzz by phone, or on the website, as she can certainly explain the details much better than I can!
Of course we will start with skin care. Mackenzie took courses to become a Cosmetologist first, and then decided to continue on to become an Advanced Practice Esthetician, which is basically becoming licensed for deeper exfoliation techniques, such as micro needling, derma planing and chemical peels.A signature facial consists of a 45 to 60 minute double cleanse, a mask, exfoliant, and my favorite, a massage of your scalp, neck, shoulders, arms and hands. She will add finishing products, and extractions if needed.
Next, she does hair. She will shampoo and condition your hair and add a cut, color or perm. This can be natural colors, or the fun ones you now see people of all ages sporting! Use your imagination, and she will bring your idea to life! A blow out and styling can be added. Manicures, pedicures and even gel mani and pedis are available. She also does waxing for hair removal.
When I asked Mackenzie what her favorite part of the job is, she replied, "I love helping people feel good about the way they look!" She loves the small town vibe, and her goal is to someday own her own studio. She says now is her time to actively build her clientele, and gain experience in her chosen field. She stresses the fact that the products she uses are professional rather than over the counter or from the drug store. When I asked her to explain, she said the products are better quality, purer ingredients, and specifically tailored to the person she is working on. They are less likely to cause issues such as skin sensitivities, allergic reactions, or rashes that lesser quality products can cause. Her goal is to become your personal Beauty Fairy!!
