About Us

Our Big-Hearted and Talented Team is the Heart and Soul of the Studio Story.

Welcome.

"Cleveland embodies all the things I hold dear and what I want for The Studio Salon … a sense of community, welcoming, beauty, and vibrancy. It's a big town with a big heart, but also an intimate, friendly soul."

Rachelle, Owner/Stylist

Hi. My name is Rachelle Yarnell, owner of The Studio Salon Group. I am a small town girl with big city dreams and you’ll see these facets of me in the locations of my studios; two in the heart of Cleveland (Downtown and Ohio City), one in the suburbs (Strongsville), another in the country (Garrettsville) and my newest salon just east of the city (Highland Heights). I’ve been in the salon business since 2006 as an educator, stylist, and owner. I love my work and hopefully this is reflected in the experience you’ll have at any of The Studio locations.

I am equally passionate about both aspects of my career as Owner/Stylist. As a female business owner, I love the entrepreneurial adventure, honing my leadership skills, curating our guests' experience, and connecting with the larger community. As a stylist, I thrive on the creativity and relationships I have with each guest that walks through the salon doors. I am energized and inspired daily by both hats I wear!

Early in my career I was an Educator for Paul Mitchell Salons and this foundation of learning remains embedded in The Salon’s culture. We keep up with trends, understand our products, and embrace important movements in the industry such as sustainability. Learning goes hand in hand with listening, both to our guests and the world around us. We take it all in to create a welcoming, uplifting experience for our guests.

Thanks to our guests, team, and the communities we call home for being part of the Studio Story!
