About Us

Parlay House is a modern salon for women designed to spark authentic conversations and build meaningful relationships as we parlay our life experiences in new directions. Started in San Francisco, recurring Parlay House events now happen in SF, New York, London, Oakland, Boston, LA, and Washington D.C. — with more to come, including Atlanta in January 2020!

About Our Founder

Anne Devereux-Mills started Parlay House to create new connections and interesting experiences outside of our work, children, or partners.

As a single mom and top executive in New York's cutthroat advertising scene, Anne experienced her own share of challenging times.

It wasn't until she was diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time and moved across the country that she realized what was missing in her life: connection.

Anne began inviting women into her living room to talk about the real issues they face, focusing on connecting instead of networking. Parlay House was born.
