Rachel, Level 5

Rachel is a Level 5 Stylist at Chroma Salon in Wallingford, bringing nearly two decades of professional experience and a deep passion for natural-looking, dimensional color. She graduated from Bon Losee Academy in Provo, Utah in 2005 and has been working with Aveda hair color and products since 2008.

Throughout her career, Rachel has taken advanced classes from top Aveda Global Artists, most recently drawing inspiration from Jeffery Scott’s Color Technique vs. Placement course, which introduced innovative ways to create dimension and softness through strategic color application.

Rachel specializes in:

• Dimensional highlights

• Customized, natural-looking hair color

• Precision bobs and pixie haircuts

Balayage is one of her favorite techniques thanks to its versatility—allowing her to create customized, low-maintenance results for each guest. She’s also known for her expertise in above-the-shoulder haircuts, helping guests discover short styles that complement both their face shape and lifestyle.

Clients love Rachel’s thoughtful, honest approach and her ability to help them feel confident and understood—whether they’re trying something new or maintaining their signature look.

When she’s not in the salon, Rachel enjoys cooking, reading, and spending quiet time in nature.

Her favorite Aveda product is Thickening Tonic, which plumps the hair for instant volume, adds heat protection, and leaves hair feeling full without stiffness.
