about Rachel Ani : Dallas Hairstylist
My joy in life is being a hairstylist at Salon D in Dallas. Fashion has always been one of the greatest passions of my life. There are many salon owners and hairstylists in my family. Naturally, I started my craft while I was still in high school. I was the hairstylist and make up artist for many school theater and musical productions in the Dallas Metroplex.
After high school, I attended the University of North Texas. While I was in college, I was a receptionist and make up artist at Salon D in Midtown Dallas. On the weekends, I put my makeup skills and hair styling skills to use for many weddings and special occasions. In doing so, I fully realized my heart was behind the chair. As a result of my epiphany, I enrolled in the Paul Mitchell School of Dallas in 2007. After graduating with honors, I honed my craft with the Master Stylist and owner of Salon D, Ardem Keshishian.
