Hey y’all, I’m Rachel!

I’m a hairstylist, artist, plant lady & the owner of Proper Salon, proudly serving the Baton Rouge Area since 2021.
I started doing hair in 2009 as a baby emo and fell in love with the industry. I started my career in a large Aveda Salon and after a few years I became a regional color educator, in-salon mentor, and trained the new stylists during their internship. In 2020 the world was crazy, and I wanted something different. I decided to go independent and open Proper to create a personalized and unique experience

I love doing hair and creating new relationships while providing a space where people feel understood, appreciated, and taken care of. I love texture and curly hair. I love all types of hairstyles from a big makeover to a neutral brown, from a pastel pink to a sun-kissed balayage. Texture, curls, bobs, and sparkles! I enjoy it all, but I most enjoy seeing you get a style you love and solutions that work for you.

I really enjoy a holistic concept and believe that mind and body are intertwined and I try to offer real solutions. Why is your scalp flaky in the winter, what can we do about it? How does your the growth pattern on your hairline effect the shape of your hair, how should we cut your hair to compensate for that? Do you know that healthy hair starts at the scalp and internally, let’s talk about starting a scalp care routine that’s based on self care. I want to have real conversations with you, about you.

​I am here as your stylist to help you know how to care of your hair and getting the most out of it everyday with minimal styling. I offer solutions and methods, let’s work together and create a look that makes you feel radiant.

Also, I love to yap. we can talk about anything. I love having fun, true crime, traveling, and animals. I plan my Halloween and Mardi Gras costumes far in advance. I craft whenever I can and always have a few DIY projects going. I love cooking and just started on my sourdough journey (sometimes I have some fresh at the salon to share). I have 1 small dog and two tuxedo cats whom I love very much but I’d love to hear about your interests.

I would be honored to be chosen as your stylist.
