About Rachel.
Rachel is a leading hairstylist and colourist based in the heart of Surry Hills. She is well-known throughout Sydney for her creative innovation and style, and ability to achieve stunning, natural-looking hair results. Over her 30-year career, Rachel has accumulated multiple state and national awards for both cutting and colouring, which is a true testament to her skill and passion.
Rachel’s clients would recognise her as being an excellent talker and having absolutely no filter (in a good way!). She will always tell her clients what is best for their hair, and takes her time to achieve the perfect result every time.
Her two greatest loves are hair, and the environment.
That’s why Rachel started her own salon Tonik Hair Body in 2008, to introduce more eco-consciousness to the world of hair. In fact, Rachel has been recognised for being one of the most eco-friendly businesses in the Surry Hills area.
Every single product Rachel chooses to use in her salon is 100% sustainable, ethical, and nourishing, with no sulfates or hidden toxic ingredients. All foil used in the salon is recycled, soft plastics are redcycled, and reusable gloves are utilised instead of single-use gloves. Every decision Rachel makes in the salon has planet impact and hair in mind, because in her words, “we can still achieve beautiful hair without killing our planet”.
Rachel’s other greatest passion is inclusivity. It has and always will be a key pillar of the Tonik Hair Body salon. It’s incredibly important to Rachel that members of the LGBTQ+ community have a salon to go to that is open, welcoming and accepting; particularly to members of the trans community.
With her customers at the forefront of her mind, Rachel has evolved Tonik Hair Body over the years to focus on providing a greater 1-on-1 experience for each client, offering by-appointment-only services in a boutique salon on Foveaux St. Book in a consultation with Rachel today to achieve your most beautiful, eco-conscious locks.
