With over 21 years of experience in the beauty industry, Latisha Wayne brings passion, skill, and heart to her new salon, Amaze-Me-T Studio, which opened in Winterville this March. A longtime resident, Latisha is proud to serve the community she calls home.
In addition to being a dedicated beautician, Latisha is also a pastor at Amazing Grace Church in Fountain, continuing the legacy of her father. Her studio reflects that same spirit of care and connection—it’s not just a place for hair services, but a safe space for women to relax, recharge, and even attend Monday support group meetings.
Amaze-Me-T Studio offers twists, braids, color, blowouts, quick weaves, sew-ins, relaxers, updos, lash extensions and much more, all in an environment that she cultivates to be uplifting and supportive to all who walk in. Latisha has a particular passion for hair cutting and believes deeply in pouring back into the community that continues to show up for her.
Latisha’s mission is to help every client feel beautiful, valued, and restored—inside and out. Whether you’re visiting for a fresh style or simply a moment of peace, Amaze-Me-T offers more than a salon experience - it offers connection, confidence, and care.
You can find her full services and book directly with Latisha here.

This new member is a name you need to remember when your to-do list starts collecting dust: Mr. Fix It by Kevin. Owned and operated by Kevin O’Malley, this handyman and home repair business is your go-to for those lingering household or small business fixes. Whether it’s a nagging repair or a refresh you've been putting off, Kevin has the skills and experience to get it done.
With a background in full home remodeling, Kevin has since scaled back in retirement to focus on what matters most - his family. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin enjoys spending time with his wife Mary Ann and their children and grandchildren. His business, Mr. Fix It by Kevin, allows him to continue doing what he’s great at - helping others - while keeping a flexible schedule that prioritizes family time. It's this balance of skill, reliability, and heart that makes him a handyman you can feel good about welcoming into your home.
Kevin’s work extends to both residential and commercial clients, and his knack for tinkering, troubleshooting, and fixing makes him a true asset to anyone needing dependable, high-quality service.
Originally from New York, Kevin made Eastern North Carolina home in 1979 - and found both his roots and his love here. He and his wife Mary Ann, who is also a small business owner and fellow Chamber member, are active members of the community and proud to support other local entrepreneurs.
If you’ve got a fix-it list that’s only getting longer, Kevin O’Malley is the guy to call.

This new member, AweSam Massage, brings both passion and purpose to the table - literally. Owner Samuel Enderle brings with him a BS in Exercise Physiology, where he developed a deep understanding of the human body and how it moves while shadowing physical therapists. It was during this time that he stumbled upon an accidental love for massage therapy - an unexpected passion that inspired him to pursue formal training and become a licensed massage therapist. That combination of academic knowledge and hands-on care now fuels his mission to help others find meaningful relief and recovery.
Sam specializes in helping clients find relief from chronic pain, supporting athletes in their recovery, and offering oncology massage as a part of cancer treatment plans. His deep understanding of anatomy and movement, combined with his intuitive approach and kind presence, allows him to provide truly personalized care. At the heart of his work is a simple but powerful goal: to create a safe, welcoming space where people can find the relief they need and deserve.
As a new member of the Winterville Chamber, Sam says he's excited to connect with other local businesses and explore ways they can support one another’s growth and wellbeing.
If you're looking for therapeutic, thoughtful massage from someone who genuinely cares, make your next appointment with AweSam Massage.

| | I'm very excited about June bringing in our Market on the Square series! It's always so much fun to put together these community events. I highly encourage everyone to find ways they can participate. We are going to be incorporating some new components to the market this year: a car show, bands, and a market passport! The passport will have businesses on the board (much like we did with small business bingo) but with multiple chances to win and a digital application to make it easy to play. Stay tuned for an announcement with details on how you can get signed up to be on the board! | | | | **If you unsubscribe from this email you will no longer receive newsletters, updates, or event reminders from the Winterville Chamber of Commerce. If you would rather change the frequency or nature of the emails, or have someone else from your business receive them instead, please contact me directly at: director@wintervillechamber.com** | | | | |
