ColorsxCarly

Tuscumbia, AL

Polished Studio

I've always been so inspired by art and the things around me. I'm so beyond grateful that I get to incorporate art into my everyday life and workplace. I'm from a very small town in Alabama, and I specialize in vivids and alternative styles. Being from this small town, it's been difficult to find people who appreciate the art of hair the way I do! I'm forever thankful for the clientele and friends I've made along the way. They let me let my freak flag fly and be so creative. I truly do my best work when my clients allow me to have full creative freedom. Also, everyone is welcome in my chair! I'm lgbtq+ and I'm so thankful to have met so many amazing people who accept me for me! It's so important to feel like you belong. Especially in a small town in Alabama. I'm honestly just so beyond thankful for what I have and what I'm building. I can't wait to do this for the rest of my life! <3

I'm Paige, the owner and stylist behind Paige's Parlor, and vivid color is one of my favorite ways to create something completely unique for each client. I love the creativity, confidence, and personality that comes with stepping outside the box and creating hair that feels so you. Chroma Daddy has become a favorite in my color arsenal because of the incredible range of shades, vibrancy, and the freedom it gives me to customize and create. Whether I'm creating a bold transformation, blending multiple shades, or adding just a pop of color, I love being able to turn an idea into something my client can truly make their own. For me, being behind the chair isn't just about doing hair, it's about creating an experience, building confidence, and getting to be creative every single day. I'm always learning, experimenting, and looking for new ways to push my creativity, and Chroma Daddy has been such a fun part of that journey.
