About Me
Hello, I am Rachel Lynn Carr, Austin-based hair stylist, proudly working at Luminosity Hair Studio in the Mueller neighborhood of Austin.
My services always begin with a thorough consultation, so I can get to know the clients needs and desires. I thrive on finding creative solutions and new means of self expression. If you are interested in appointment, click here.
I went to college at University of Pittsburgh studying writing and art. I love the ability to work and talk with different types of people from every culture and I love giving people the opportunity to relax in my chair and walk out feeling pampered and confident. I have travelled the world learning more about hair and more about people.
I’m also a mom of three amazing little boys. Most of my free time is spent outdoors with my family.
I started this blog years ago with my musings about social, artistic and emotional/psychological issues related to beauty, as well as tips, tricks, trends and my experiences with continuing education. The last few years I have mainly been using it to update my clients regarding my life and work. Enjoy!
