Rachel (also goes by Rae) moved to Toronto from the sunshine state of St. Petersburg, Florida 3+ years ago and with it brought her laid back, beachy style of doing hair with her. With 8 years of experience, Rachel does specialize with live-in colour but is also a lover of all the red and copper colours. Rachel is a colour educator for Schwarzkopf Professional so she’s always learning about the new colour trends in the industry that she loves to incorporate into her colouring techniques. She is also a brand educator for one of our product lines, Authentic Beauty Concept so she’ll teach you all about proper at-home hair care. Her style of cut and colour reflects what she views is her mission in the hair industry - enhancing every client’s natural beauty.
When Rae isn’t at HAIRLOVE or teaching around the east end of Toronto, she goes home to her beautiful family - a daughter, husband and 2 pups - a full home and heart. She is a lover of sports and good food (she accepts any and all food recommendations).
“Being a hairstylist means I get the privilege to help people discover their most confident versions of themselves, share a ton of laughs (sometimes happy tears), and become apart of their growth.”
