About

Rachael Ellis, a highly accomplished hairdresser and own of Satellite, originally hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, embarked on a transformative journey to Salt Lake City, Utah in 2022. Renowned for her mastery in the realms of lived-in color, precision razor cutting, and the intricate art of hand-styling, Rachael's professional repertoire extends beyond the conventional boundaries of hairstyling.

Her multifaceted background is rooted in a deep immersion in the world of art during her upbringing in East Texas, where she honed her skills alongside her mother and grandfather, exploring the nuances of facial forms, light, and shadow. This artistic foundation burgeoned as Rachael ventured into exhibiting her work as both an artist and a photographer.

However, her journey took a profound turn when she embarked on studies in drug counseling, catalyzed by her own life-altering recovery process. Rachael's compassion and dedication led her to work extensively with individuals ranging from teenagers in outpatient programs to incarcerated adults. Notably, she founded a government-funded art program for women in the prison system, a testament to her commitment to holistic healing and rehabilitation.

The convergence of Rachael's diverse paths occurred when she made the pivotal decision to enroll in hair school, seamlessly integrating her passions for artistry and helping others. Throughout her studies and subsequent career, Rachael discovered that hairstyling transcended mere aesthetics, offering a platform for self-expression and empowerment.

Since embarking on her hairstyling career in 2013, Rachael has cultivated her craft through various avenues, apprenticing at a precision-focused salon before joining the ranks of a prestigious establishment in Fort Worth. Her talent has taken her to the forefront of the fashion world, styling for renowned designers and lead stylists at New York Fashion Week.

Furthermore, Rachael's passion for education has seen her sharing her expertise through teaching cut/color classes across the United States. Prior to her independent hairdressing venture, she served as an Evo Hair Educator, imparting her knowledge and skills to aspiring hairstylists.

Presently, Rachael continues to evolve her practice, offering unique ceremonies that combine hairstyling with energy work and holistic remedies. Through these ceremonies, she provides individuals with an opportunity to connect with their inner selves and embrace their authenticity. Rachael's journey is a testament to the transformative power of creativity, compassion, and holistic healing.
