Hometown: Denver, Colorado

When I started doing hair: 2007

When I started at The Parlour: 2007

What inspires/motivates me in the industry:

Fashion is my main inspiration. Runway, film, and street styles are the most impactful for me, as well as historical fashion trends.

What I am happiest doing:

I am the most happy hanging with my family and friends, especially my sweet baby! I also love my work, teaching and traveling.

Additional industry involvement:

I work for UNITE as a men’s grooming educator, the co-head of The Parlour Design Team, and a member of the wedding team. Being an educator for The Parlour is very important to me, as well.

What I love most about The Parlour:

The Parlour’s atmosphere is something very unique and the thing I love most about our salons. I’m also very proud of our education program we offer our apprentices.

Rachel’s passion for what she does is second to none. She loves her craft and it shows.
