About me - the girl behind the chair!

Hi! I’m Payton, the owner of Drift Studio and the hairstylist responsible for creating all of your dream hair. I’ve been a licensed hairstylist since 2022 and have a passion for creating lived in blondes and natural looking brunettes and redheads.

Before pursuing my passion in the beauty industry, I attended the University of Pittsburgh and obtained a bachelor’s in Business Administration with a major in Accounting. I worked in corporate retail for two years before deciding I wanted to spend each day creating and making women feel beautiful.

I opened Drift Studio in August of 2026 with the goal of making my space a peaceful, relaxing, and welcoming environment. My space allows me to work one on one with my clients and ensure they leave feeling confident and taken care of.

I am so grateful to be able to do what I love day in and day out. I hope to see you in my chair soon!
