Everyone deserves to feel confident, cared for, and beautiful.

I’m Lily Santana Parks, founder of The Traveling Tress. This business is more than a service — it’s a calling. Rooted in faith and compassion, my mission is to bring comfort, confidence, and quality hair care directly to those who need it most. With over 12 years as a licensed hairdresser and 6 years as a nursing aide, I bring a unique blend of beauty and healthcare experience. I’ve had the privilege of working with the handicapped, elderly, disabled, postpartum mothers, and those in end-of-life care; giving me the patience, gentleness, and understanding needed to serve clients with dignity.
