    A new beauty bar is about to make Plano even prettier. Dallas-based BAM Beauty Bar will open its second location, at the Legacy West complex, on Saturday, October 31.

    "BAM is bringing its iconic trademark flower wall and chic Parisian style to Legacy West," the company says in a release. "BAM is a game changer for the community in Plano and surrounding areas by bringing a new level of accessible luxury products and services to Legacy West."

    BAM — an acronym for "Blowouts and Makeup" — is the creation of local attorney (and SMU grad) Mora Namdar, who was born in Dallas and raised in Plano. The first location opened in Dallas' West Village in 2017 and earned a fast following among the city's jet-setters. According to the release, celebrity clientele includes Real Housewives of Dallas star D’Andra Simmons and TV personality Kelly Osborne (who both attended the salon's one-year anniversary party).

    BAM's goal is to offer "a luxury experience for an affordable price," the company says. Services include blowouts ($45), updos and half-updos ($75-$95), and makeup applications (starting at $35).

    Monthly membership packages start at $80, and a unique "unlimited" blowout or makeup membership, which lets members come in every day, is a flat rate of $295 per month.

    Events such as birthday parties and bridal gatherings can also be booked, starting at $45.

    Clients can peruse the website to find a blowout style they like. They range from the Bombshell, described as, "Classic blowout with old Hollywood glamour, gorgeous body, and swept to the side," to the Boss, a "Straight, sleek, and professional blow dry." There's even a "Baby" blowout for kids age 10 and under and a "Bro-out" service for guys with shorter hair.

    Add-ons (starting at $10) include braids, scalp massage, and deep conditioner. There's a full menu of hair extension services starting at $275.

    BAM uses high-quality products and tools including Dyson hair dryers, T3 tools, and Balmain hair couture for hair services, they say.

    For makeup application, BAM uses an eponymous beauty line of products that are hypoallergenic, cruelty free, and made exclusively in North America and Europe, they say. As with blowouts, makeup looks can be chosen from a menu online.

    Because the salon is opening amid the coronavirus pandemic, special health and safety protocols are in place. Clients are required to wear face coverings, in keeping with local ordinances.

    "BAM complies with all mandated COVID-19 protocols and takes hygiene as the utmost concern (with or without COVID)," a spokeswoman says. "All tools and stations are meticulously sanitized, all stylists wear masks, and many more steps are taken to ensure all necessary protocols are complied with. Additionally, as a property, Legacy West is taking measures to ensure the health and safety of their tenants and patrons, which can be viewed here."

    The new salon will hold a Halloween-themed grand opening event for the public on Saturday, October 31. Best costume wins a prize of one month of the unlimited blowouts or makeup package. Also, first-time visitors for the first month will get 10 percent off their first visit with code BAMLegacy at checkout.

    BAM at Legacy West is located next to Fabletics, at 7400 Windrose Ave. B #116, Plano. Hours are 7 am-7 pm Monday through Wednesday, 7 am-8 pm Thursday through Saturday, and 10 am-6 pm Sunday.

    Massive Goodwill store in Garland reopens as 2nd largest in the U.S.

    The Goodwill in Garland is the largest in Texas.

    A major expansion has made a Garland Goodwill store nearly the largest of its kind in the country. Goodwill Industries of Dallas officially reopened its "Broadway store," at 451 W. Interstate 30 #100, on April 30 after a major renovation. The new-and-improved store is twice its previous size.

    According to a release, at 31,000 square feet, the Broadway Store and Donation Center is now the largest Goodwill in Texas and the second largest in the U.S.

    The expansion will significantly boost inventory turnover. According to the organization, the store will introduce about 10,000 new items daily, including clothing, home goods, and accessories. At that pace, inventory cycles through the store roughly every four weeks, they say.

    “Our newly expanded Garland store sets the gold standard for Goodwill in Texas — not only as our largest location, but as our most operationally complex,” says Tim Heis, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Dallas, in the release. “Turning out 10,000 fresh items every single day requires a tremendous, coordinated effort behind the scenes to make sure our shelves are always stocked with new finds."

    The reopening comes amid "explosive growth" in the resale sector, Goodwill says. A 2024 report from ThredUp found that the U.S. secondhand market grew 11 percent in 2023 (growing seven times faster than the broader retail clothing sector) and is projected to reach $73 billion by 2028.

    “As consumers are increasingly turning to resale for its affordability, unique product variety, and positive environmental impact, the new Garland store redefines what’s possible — every visit promises one of the widest, most frequently refreshed selections anywhere in North Texas,” says Joel Ibanez, vice president, Donated Goods Retail.

    To support its larger retail footprint and meet demand, Goodwill Dallas has also expanded its donation network, they say, opening new Donation Express locations in Frisco, Plano, and Lantana in recent months and bringing the total number of donation drop off locations in North Texas to 52.

    The Garland store includes a drive-up donation center, and additional sites are in development across North Texas, they say.

    "Over the past two years, Goodwill Dallas has experienced record-breaking performance, earning recognition as the top performing Goodwill in the country for two consecutive years," they say in the release.
