Who is Rachael Beauty?

A few days ago on Facebook someone asked me which girl I was on my profile. He couldn't tell right away because I had so many pictures. Different pictures of different models and of myself and friends. At first I was wondering how is it not obvious who I am from my profile? Then I began searching around my pictures and albums. It did seem a bit confusing because I am not branding myself enough on my profile! I want it clear and direct about who I am online in every way possible  If someone can't tell what my profession is and they have access to my personal and professional pictures then I need to change the way I present myself online. I am glad he mentioned this, as no one else has. He wasn't in the beauty business, which is why it is even more important to me.

So, let me introduce myself properly. I am Rachael Beauty, a creative hair stylist/designer from Los Angeles, California. I specialize in make overs, updos, styling, blow-outs, haircuts, & editorial, avant-garde looks. I am dedicated to my craft and approach beauty with a degree of professionalism and tact. I enjoy working together as a team.  I like to achieve the best results with technique and style. Not taking short cuts, even if it means it takes a little longer. The end result is far more superior than if I simply cut corners. No pun intended. :)

Pilar's contemporary victorian look. I used a wand curler then pinned to set. 

Finished with hair spray and teased.

I graduated from Aveda Institute Los Angeles in the summer of 2011. I am a licensed cosmetologist for the state of California. I am open-minded on techniques and I love learning and trying new things. I have a great sense of humor and am very social and people friendly. I love to network online and in person. I have many goals and plans for my future in the hair & beauty business.

I take my work seriously and I love what I do. I love beauty.

I also excel at social media. Brand presence, visibility, audience and community development are my specialties. If you have no idea what that means and just have a Facebook account to promote your business then you probably need to talk to me. The internet is a shift in communication and it isn't going anywhere. 

I am new in creating my brand for Rachael Beauty. I know exactly what I have to do. Most requires trial and error of various techniques online. It's a learned habit that comes gradually over time. 

Get to know your clients, listen to their needs and respond in a friendly way; not as someone simply trying to sell them something. Stand out. Care. The rewards will come.

Trying not to sound too much like a résumé, but my work is my passion and I love making beautiful things come to life. Have a lovely day and thank you for reading. 

Love&etc,

Rachael Beauty
