Hi! I’m Rachel Yancey, creator of Bold City Hair. I am your Jacksonville hair stylist, hair colorist, and hair extension specialist. I am an independent hairstylist working inside a private studio. The environment is so relaxed and chill, and comfortable. Every client is greeted with a smiling face and offered beverages. Clients can enjoy the fun yet relaxed vibes in Rachels private cozy studio.
I created BCH in 2015 and have been a working stylist since 2009, specializing in hair extensions for the last thirteen plus years. I love being creative and while drawing is one of my favorite hobbies, I also love creating custom looks and makeovers for my clients. Your personal style, personality, as well as skin tones are all important factors in creating custom looks. Having references is an important tool for communicating with your stylist. I have heard many times ‘I don’t know how to explain it.’ Find pictures and we can evaluate and give you fabulous hair!
I believe your hair should look great every day of the year, not just at the salon. I am committed to giving my clients the best customer service, freshest ideas and emerging trends. I believe in giving clients education and a hair care routine that works to their suites, so they can have great hair at home too. I take pride in my career and love staying on my toes with continuing education, whether it is learning or teaching!
I started out young in all kinds of art classes, naturally thriving on anything creative. My dad has been a Barber for over 40 years with his own shop, and I always knew I wanted to do hair. However, my parents wanted me to go to college so I went for Graphic Design, still keeping my creativity flowing. But sitting at the desk wasn’t for me. I went to hair school and I’ve been at it since! I’ve worked at salons in Jacksonville such as Fusion Salon, Verde Eco Salon, Elite Salon & Day Spa, and West Coast Hair Design. I soon followed my move to the salon with a Bachelors Degree in Supervision and Business Management and always keeps something going, staying on the move and keeping up with trends. I currently continue my education in Invisible Bead Extension Masters & Elite training programs.
Rachel is a kind hearted, gentle soul who is constantly chasing life and challenging herself. She fell in love with the art of hair cutting at a young age watching her father behind the chair. Growing up in the barbershop she knew she wanted to one day be behind the chair also. She has been focusing on the art of color and extensions since 2009. When she’s not living life she can be found behind the chair with one hand full of hair extensions and the other with her paintbrush. She loves creating major transformations and ultimately helping her clients love themselves again.
Followed closely by the depths of our universe, the movement of changing lives through plant based products, and her individuality in fashion, she aims to express her multifaceted heart, as well as be a strong leader to the community and industry.
Words from Rachel:
I love what I do and take pride in it, I enjoy it. I enjoy making people look and feel better about themselves. To be able to give someone the power of their own confidence is priceless. I enjoy investing in myself as well with continuing education classes, and being able to keep up with the ever-growing and constantly evolving industry. I cannot fill this brain up enough! If I could, I’d be in school learning forever about anything and everything.
I do hope you find value in my investments. I am here to be able to provide you with the information and tools to help you with all things hair! Not only that, I am committed to providing you with the best customer service and professionalism, and accommodating you to my best abilities. If you need to schedule an appointment you can find all of my contact information on the contact page of this website, and at the bottom of this page.
I appreciate all of my clients that support me. Not only does it keep me open and able to continue to provide you with the same awesome service, but it literally keeps me going. You are all my drive! You are what gets me out of bed every morning. So thank you for choosing me from the bottom of my heart.
