Tralice Lewis: Crafting Confidence and Comfort, One Hat Wig at a Time

Tralice Lewis, co-owner of Callie’s Custom Hat Wigs, draws inspiration from the compassionate care provided by her mother, Callie Lewis, a dedicated hospice nurse. Witnessing her mother's ability to instill confidence and self-assurance in patients during their most vulnerable moments ignited Tralice's passion for helping others. In 2020, alongside co-founder Rayfield Mitchell, she turned this inspiration into reality by establishing Callie’s Custom Hat Wigs in Portland, Oregon.

As the Pacific Northwest's only Black-owned wig store, Callie’s Custom Hat Wigs stands as a beacon of representation and empowerment.

Embracing diversity and inclusion, Callie’s Custom Hat Wigs proudly supports and welcomes customers of all genders, sexual orientations, and identities, striving to create a safe and affirming environment for the LGBTQ2IA+ community.

With over a decade of experience in healthcare, Tralice brings a deep understanding of the importance of confidence and self-esteem to her work. She knows firsthand the transformative impact that a boost in self-assurance can have on individuals facing hair loss, medical challenges, or mental health struggles. Drawing from her own experiences, Tralice is dedicated to spreading positivity and empowerment through her creations.

At Callie’s Custom Hat Wigs, Tralice pours her heart into crafting custom hat units that not only look stunning but also serve as symbols of empowerment and self-expression.
