About Raelle
Raelle Ayako Raven is a Kamloops-born hair stylist and makeup artist with 19 years of experience in the beauty industry. Her journey has taken her through some of Canada’s top schools—earning a Makeup Artist Diploma from Blanche Macdonald and a Hairstylist Diploma from Hair Art Academy in Vancouver, followed by advanced cutting and colouring certification from the Aveda Academy.
She later spent four years in Los Angeles, working as a makeup artist at Disneyland and immersing herself in the city’s fast-paced and trend-driven beauty scene.
Raelle is known for her creativity and bold approach to style. She specializes in creative colours, edgy cuts, and barbering, as well as glam makeup and balayage. Her work is all about enhancing each client’s natural beauty while reflecting their individuality and self-expression.
She continues to prioritize education every year to stay current with the latest trends in colour, cutting, and barbering techniques.
At the heart of her work is a deep commitment to creating a safe, welcoming space for all walks of life—especially those who may have felt misunderstood or unseen. Whether it’s the LGBTQ+ community, the misfits, or anyone simply looking for a place to feel celebrated, Raelle’s chair is a place of warmth, respect, and creativity.
