Catherine Lynch

Hair Artist

With 7 years of professional experience—all with Cotton Rouge & Company—Catherine Lynch Peaden has built her beauty career on passion, talent, and a love for making special moments even more memorable. Her roots in the beauty world began in theater, where she worked behind the scenes on hair and makeup teams for school performances—an experience that sparked her lifelong love of styling.
Today, Catherine specializes in bridal, prom, and special event hair, with a signature flair for textured, voluminous messy styles and trending looks like high messy updos and sleek, polished finishes. Her clients love her energy, creativity, and the way she effortlessly brings their dream hairstyles to life.
Her favorite kit must-haves? Redken Wax Spray for smoothing flyaways, Kenra 25 for all-day hold, and KYK Volume Powder for root lift and front-piece fluffing. A major insider tip she loves sharing: mix baking soda with shampoo for a homemade clarifier—it’s a game-changer for product buildup and even removing smoke smells!
Catherine’s personal style is trendy, colorful, and effortlessly cool, always mixing bold pieces with basics and a go-to sneaker. When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find her heading to concerts, enjoying a beach day (her happy place!), or indulging in her favorite wedding-morning combo: a strawberry lemonade refresher and Chick-fil-A minis.

One of her proudest memories? Traveling to Scotland to perform in the American High School Theatre Festival—a once-in-a-lifetime adventure she’ll never forget. And if she could glam any celebrity, it would be Hannah Godwin, because—let’s be honest--that hair!
Catherine lives by the words of Proverbs 3:5:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.”
