Racquel Garcerez
Sher/Her // Natural Curls, Cuts + Vivid Color
Hi! I’m Racquel!
I’m a hairstylist now serving ATX! I’m new to Austin but not new to curls! I’ve built a reputation as Natural Curl Artist and vivid specialist. From rainbow curls to hidden pops of brightness to hand painted designs on your buzz cuts, I will treat your hair as my canvas and approach every look with intention.
My chair is more than a salon seat. It’s a safe, affirming space where clients can relax, recharge, ask questions, and feel celebrated exactly as they are. As a queer stylist, I understand how important it is to be seen and heard. I understand how much hair trauma many of us have, my trauma-informed background allows me to adapt to the moment, I promise to listen, I promise you will feel heard. Some days I create a quiet, grounding environment, and other times I bring my bubbly energy to the service. My goal is to help every client feel safe, cared for, and confident in who they are, as they are.
I love helping clients with all hair types simplify their wash days. I want you to leave feeling empowered to take care of your hair! For me, hair is both art and our crown.
I grew up in San Antonio and recently moved to Austin to continue my dream career. I’m happily engaged to my gorgeous wife, im a proud dog mom of three, and a cat mom of 5. When im not in the salon im a homebody and I do it all for them. Im so blessed to do what I love everyday, I’m excited to grow my craft, connect with my community, and share my love for coils and color.
