Magnolia’s growing community will soon welcome a new hub for independent beauty and wellness providers. Redbird & Co. Salon Suites, owned by local entrepreneur Gloria Davis, is under construction in Old Magnolia and is slated to open its doors before the close of 2026.
Local ownership fuels community growth
Davis, who has lived in Magnolia since 2019 and runs the popular waxing service Waxing by G, says she has watched the area expand rapidly. “Magnolia is growing quickly,” she told Community Impact. “We wanted to create a beautiful, professional space in Old Magnolia where local professionals can have the independence of running their own businesses.”
What Redbird & Co. Salon Suites will offer
The development will feature several fully equipped suites designed for independent stylists, estheticians, massage therapists, and other wellness practitioners. Each suite will include private treatment rooms, modern lighting, and the necessary utilities to support a range‑up business model. By providing a turnkey environment, the project aims to lower the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs who prefer to own their client base rather than work under a traditional salon lease.
Supporting family‑focused entrepreneurship
For many families in Magnolia, the ability to work from a local, professional setting means more flexible schedules and the chance to balance work with family responsibilities. Davis emphasized that the suites will be available to both seasoned professionals and newcomers looking to start a career in the beauty industry. “We want to empower parents and caregivers to build a livelihood without sacrificing time with their children,” she said.
Economic impact on the community
Local business leaders anticipate that Redbird & Co. will generate new jobs, increase foot traffic for neighboring merchants, and contribute to the tax base that supports Magnolia’s schools and public services. The project aligns with the city’s broader efforts to attract small‑business investment and diversify the local economy.
Construction timeline and next steps
Construction began earlier this year and is progressing on schedule. The developer has confirmed that the first suites will be ready for lease by late 2026, with a grand‑opening event planned to showcase the space to prospective tenants and the community at large. Interested professionals can sign up for updates through the Redbird & Co. website.
Community response
Local residents have expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming facility, noting that it fills a gap for high‑quality, independent beauty services within walking distance. “Having more options right here in Magnolia means we don’t have to travel to the city for specialized treatments,” said longtime resident Mark Hernandez.
Redbird & Co. Salon Suites represents a tangible example of how local entrepreneurs are responding to Magnolia’s rapid growth, creating opportunities that reinforce family values, personal liberty, and faith‑based community stewardship.
