How We Got Here
In 1989, a dream died and a family was struggling. Gene Cahill sold his watch, his Harley, borrowed what he could, and signed a lease on the corner of Broadway and Walnut in Boulder. That was the beginning.
There was no grand plan beyond making something work. The build-out was lean, the first years were hard, and the team was small. But the work was good, and in this industry, that’s what travels. Word of mouth is slow and then it isn’t.
Thirty-five years later, The Parlour has seven locations across Colorado. The Boulder salon is still there. LoDo came next, then Fort Collins, then Wash Park, Flatirons, Capitol Hill, and RiNo. Each one opened because someone on the team was ready — a partner who’d built a clientele, earned the trust, and wanted to build something of their own. That’s the model.
"Giving people the freedom to create their vision of their best self is my idea of success."

The people behind the work
The Parlour has been running an education program since before most Colorado salons thought of it as a priority. Not a training manual; an actual program. Guest artists. Ongoing curriculum. The kind of investment that keeps a stylist sharp five years in and ten years in, not just when they’re first starting out.
It’s why the team stays. At most salons, good people leave when they’re ready to grow. At The Parlour, growing is part of staying.
Past guest educators include Nick Arrojo, Gary Glossman, The Doves, Gary Baker, Aubrey Loots, Marcus Allen, and Mitchell Cantrell.
