Meet Shaun

Founder of the Dream in Many Colors Foundation

Shaun Thomas, founder of the Dream in Many Colors Foundation

Shaun has spent his career helping people feel good about themselves. As the owner of GLAM Beauty Boutique in Vestavia Hills, he knows that what happens in a salon chair can be about much more than hair. People share their celebrations, their worries, and sometimes the parts of life they’re still figuring out. He considers it a privilege to be trusted with those moments.

The Dream in Many Colors Foundation grew from something deeply personal. Shaun wanted to honor his mother, Linda, in a way that carried her memory forward. He also wanted to follow the example of Dolly Parton, whose generosity has inspired him since childhood. Together, those two women helped shape his belief that caring about people should lead to doing something for them.

Shaun is building the foundation with an open heart and a simple hope: that someone facing a hard season might feel less alone, and that someone with a dream might get the chance to see where it leads.
