“I’ve given first haircuts to the same persons I’ve pinned a veil on just before they walked down the aisle at their wedding,” Lisa Adkins, Hairstylists and co-manager, stated. “We laugh and we cry with our customers because they become family.”  Adkins graduated from Aladdin Cosmetology School in Duncan and has been a hair stylist for 23 years. “I like people the best,” she continued, “I once had a job where they told me I couldn’t talk. That didn’t work out for me.” 

When asked about the biggest changes that she’s seen, Lisa said, “We used to work hard to color roots and gray hairs, now we add roots and use silver coloring.” “Color is probably my favorite, but I love to do Bob haircuts and also enjoy making major changes,” She continued. “I love it when I cut off many inches of hair and the person has a brand-new look.”  When asked about funny experiences she had while cutting hair she mentioned several.  One that stood out was from several years ago when a  young customer’s mother sat him down in the chair and he yelled, “People. People, help me.”

Lisa and her husband, Tim, have been married for 26 years and have two children, Chloe and Mallory who are 10th graders at Waurika High School.  Both Lisa and Tim are WHS graduates.

Susie Harris, Massage Therapist, graduated from the Hands-On Therapeutics Massage School in Wichita Falls, Tx and Body Business School of Massage Therapy in Ardmore and has been doing massage work for 20 years. She has special certifications in Cupping, Infant Massage and Trigger Points Massage Therapy.  Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern practice that people use to treat a variety of conditions. It involves placing cups at certain points on a person’s skin. A practitioner creates suction in the cups, which pulls against a person’s skin.

“Most of my customers are repeat customers and they come from all over. Often people think they get better treatments when they go to Dallas or the Oklahoma City metro for massages or for the other services Mane and Co provides,” Harris stated. “What they don’t realize is that we all have the same training and what you get here are many, many years of experience. That’s why it’s so rewarding when you have repeat customers who tell you that you’ve really made a difference in whatever it is that brought them in for treatment.”

“I enjoy helping people and it’s rewarding when I can help someone who comes in with significant pain and I can provide the massage treatment that gives them relief,” Susie continued. “I also work closely with Dr. Chad Williams and often help his customers by loosening their muscles prior to treatment.”

Her customer demographic has changed in recent years.  She works with more student athletes. “I have quite a few high school students for various sports who come in for a massage after a big game or to work out muscular issues after practice,” Susie said. “A massage helps all ages.”

Susie is married to Art Harris and has four children, Kelsie and Bobby Harris and Justin and Dustin Boren. They also have four grandchildren, Maddex, 7; Bodee, 2; Creek, 2 and Waylon, 1.
