Madi Huffman
Esthetician
Skincare Specialist
Madi is a passionate esthetician who began her journey in August 2023, driven by her own struggles with skincare and a desire to help others facing similar challenges. Her favorite treatment is dermaplaning facials, finding it incredibly satisfying to see the immediate results as hair and dead skin are gently removed. Madi's interest in skincare was sparked during her junior year of High School, even before she knew the technical names for the treatments she loved. Her services range between full body waxing to lash tinting & lifting, customized facials and more! Currently, she is working on earning her lash certification for lash extensions.
When she's not helping guests achieve glowing skin, Madi enjoys reading, shopping, and indulging in self-help podcasts.

Daphne Zuniga
Co-Stylist
Hairstylist
Daphne grew up in Wyandotte County and graduated from Z Hair Academy in 2025. Inspired by her mom and grandma’s love for making people feel confident, she followed in their footsteps and became a stylist. She loves highlights, color, and learning short haircuts and styling.
When she’s not in the salon, you’ll find her baking on cozy days, shopping year-round, traveling, or spending time with family and friends — usually with an iced coffee or McDonald’s Coke and birria tacos close by. Her favorite color is blue, just like her easygoing, creative vibe.
