Bentley's Salon Offers 'Feel Good' Service

It has only been a few months since Bentley's opened its doors to the public, but an eager line of customers has already shown loyalty to the new salon. Although there are other establishments in the area offering similar services, Bentley's is a pioneer in Gulfport.

For one, they believe that passion is a key element of staying power as a business. Owner, Bentley, said that more than half of the salon's success comes from a love for the industry. 

"We get excited about our job," said Bentley. "Sometimes we get more excited about what we're doing than the clients do."

Regardless of the service you receive, the crew at Bentley's is dedicated to making clients feel at home. Hand and head massages can be expected and the complimentary sangria is already the talk of the town. 

In fact, one satisfied customer already wrote a letter to Bentley in appreciation for the salon's hospitality. The closing line reads: "It was fun and I will go back. Especially for the sangria."

With competitive pricing (see below) and a nail tech/shellac specialist in house, the sky is the limit for Bentley's. As if those services aren't enough, an esthetician is also available for appointments. In the future, Bentley hopes to bring in a massage therapist as well.

The staff at Bentley's was tailor-fitted to the salon's mission. After a few cuts and hires, Bentley is confident with the current crew. She said that a reliable, positive group is imperative to running a business.

Bentley and Artistic Director, Ronnie Schaaf have a similar outlook on what they do. Both dubbed "making someone feel good" the number one motivation behind their work. "We can make them feel as beautiful on the outside as they truly are on the inside," said Schaaf. "That's what it's all about."
