OUR STORY

image6.jpeg

Owner Paula Lands opened TCE in February 2015 after over 30 years behind the chair. She always knew having her own place was her lifelong dream. Paula is still behind the chair 4 days a week bringing joy and beauty to every guest. Inside and out Paula is authentic to herself, the industry, and her business. She is a pastor's wife- and will gladly offer to pray for you any time of the day. She is a ‘Nana’ to 5 littles and will tell you all kinds of fun stories. She is a gardener, canner, florist, decorator, and chicken farmer. She wears many hats- but she is truly what makes TCE, TCE.

In 2016 Paula was joined by her daughter Allie Lands Vance. After completing her Bachelor's degree in Science and Psychology at Morehead State- she quickly found that business was her niche. You can find Allie at the salon nearly any day or any time of the week. She is usually the voice on the phone or the first face you see when you walk in. Aside from the desk work- Allie handles the behind-the-scenes work that pumps the flow of business. Outside of the salon, Allie is a mom to 3 girls, an avid reader, and a lover of all things pink. It’s no secret that Paula and Allie are an interesting combo- but at TCE they are our dynamic duo.
