Hudson's Beauty Boutique

Latrese Hudson began in the beauty industry in 1996 as a stylist assistant, completed cosmetology school and graduated in 2007. Her work moved from assisting to managing beauty salons, and she later founded Hudson's Beauty Boutique to build a brand around her hair work and give clients visits that feel distinct and stay with them.

The salon describes its atmosphere as relaxing and calm yet energizing. Before any chemical, cutting or coloring service, clients have a consultation, and a color consultation is required before color services ($25). Booking takes a $25 non-refundable deposit plus a $2 processing fee, with a credit card kept on file; the deposit goes toward the service and the balance is paid at the appointment. Services are offered to clients aged 12 and up, and small children and extra guests are not allowed at appointments.

Hair pricing begins at $125 for a basic full color, with the final price set after consultation, and $95 for highlights or partial color. Color rinse is $20 and semi color is $25. Relaxers start at $95 for a full relaxer with wash, blow-dry and cut, and $75 for a touch-up. Treatments include a deep mask at $20, a caramel moisturizing treatment at $15 and a hydrating treatment at $10. Extension services are priced by style, with basic sew-ins starting at $165 to $200 (the client supplies the hair), glue-in single tracks from $10, and braids for a wig from $25.

Makeup services cover everyday and special-occasion looks, and brow fill-in starts at $25. Microshading is offered, with pricing starting at an amount not listed on the site. Makeup, brow, waxing and eyelash appointments are booked through a separate makeup booking button.

Nail services include manicures from $20, pedicures from $35, full sets from $35, refills from $28 and long nails from $48. Smaller add-ons include polish changes at $10, nail art at $3 per nail or two nails for $5, nail bling at $5 per nail, replacement nails at $3 per nail and cut downs at $4. The shop also sells hair and beauty products through an online shop.

The salon's stated goal is for clients to leave feeling beautiful, unique, fulfilled and encouraged, and it values beauty, authenticity, transformation, relaxation, care, empowerment, professionalism and community.
