Rachel Naomi first started working in the salon industry at the tender age of 16. She joined the team at Laboratorie in 2022, after 20 years in business. Rachel is most enthusiastic about cutting hair - short hair in particular - as it allows her to indulge her love for sculpture and fiber arts. She takes into careful consideration each client’s natural texture, density, and grain; the end result is a cut that requires minimal effort which simply falls into place.
As a colorist, Rachel utilizes a similar approach, delivering results that are beautiful, yet low maintenance. Shades of red, rich brunettes, soft dimension, and gray coverage and gray-blending are her favorites, and she puts a great deal of thought, informed by her mastery of color theory, into every formula she concocts.
Above all, she loves the transformative power of a good haircut and the meaningful relationships she has formed with her clients over the years. Outside of Laboratorie, Rachel spends her time at home in Ednor Gardens tending to her menagerie of house plants + pets…notably her dog Alfie, and bunnies Timmy and Malcolm. She loves learning languages and traveling the world.
Rachel is a Senior Stylist and is available by appointment on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, select Thursdays, Fridays + select Saturdays.
