Chad Walters

Chad Waters is the owner and creative force behind IN2GR8ION Custom Wigs, a custom wig design company known for bold, high-impact styles created for performers, pageant competitors, and entertainers across the country. What began as a creative hobby quickly evolved into a thriving business after Chad’s work gained national attention through social media and the drag performance community.

Based in the Shenandoah Valley, Chad built IN2GR8ION from the ground up by combining creativity, performance knowledge, and hands-on craftsmanship. His designs are recognized for their dramatic shapes, durability, and attention to detail—qualities that have made his wigs popular among drag artists and performers nationwide. The business originally grew alongside the local drag scene and quickly expanded beyond the region as artists began sharing his work with wider audiences.

Chad’s passion for wig artistry comes from years of experience working within the entertainment and pageant communities. Drawing inspiration from performance culture, fashion, and theatrical styling, he continues to innovate new techniques and styles while mentoring others in the craft. Through workshops, tutorials, and custom builds, Chad helps both new and experienced performers elevate their stage presence through hair design.

Through IN2GR8ION, Chad celebrates creativity, self-expression, and community. His work reflects a deep appreciation for the artistry and culture that surround performance, and he is proud to support entertainers and creatives who bring that culture to life.
