About Rachel

The Stylist Behind the Chair

Hi, I’m Rachel Kayembe, a hair braider in San Antonio, Texas. I believe getting your hair done should feel just as good as the finished look.

Whether you’re coming in for knotless braids, boho braids, twists, or cornrows, I take the time to listen, pay attention to the little details, and create a style that feels like you.

My goal is simple: for you to leave my chair feeling beautiful, comfortable, and confident.
