Meet Rachel

I’m a passionate esthetician based out of North Raleigh. I was born and raised in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and I fell completely in LOVE with the balance of bustle and southern charm this city maintains.


As a former melasma and acne sufferer, I truly understand the importance of feeling valued, renewed, and beautiful in a serene ambiance. At Dapper Skin Studio my talented partners and I have crafted a skin studio experience designed to uplift, relax, and empower you to embrace your most confident self.


With over 20 years as a esthetician, I have cultivated deep relationships with my clients, helping them achieve their skincare goals. I focus on crafting personalized, organic treatments that nurture both your skin and overall wellness. While many seek quick fixes, I believe in understanding the root causes that affect your skin. By examining your environment, hormonal balances and dietary habits, we can work together to achieve clear and radiant skin from within. My approach is designed to go beyond surface solutions, ensuring you leave not just with beautiful skin, but with a deeper understanding of what it takes to maintain it.


I take pride in staying at the forefront of skincare innovations and wellness practices. By immersing myself in regular, in-depth training on the latest formulations and ingredients, I ensure that your skincare journey is customized, effective, and transformative. Throughout the year, I’ll check in to address any emerging concerns or changes in your skin. Together, we'll navigate any challenges and celebrate your progress, fostering a partnership that nurtures your skin's health and beauty.


When I'm not in the studio, you will often find me enjoying a delightful dinner in the heart of the city or uncovering the latest blooming treasures at a local garden center. I also love discovering new culinary gems, so feel free to bring your restaurant recommendations to our appointments—I’m all ears and would be thrilled to share my favorites, too! Good food and cooking are true passions of mine, and I’m always excited for a recipe swap, so don’t hesitate to share your tasty creations!

Kind Words

“Rachel is a professional with great knowledge in her field and just a pleasure to work with. I had adult acne for many years with no one really figuring out the cause and how to treat it. It was really persistent and I tried different dermatologists and estheticians with no real progress. At my first visit Rachel took a detailed intake and determined that my silicone products may be the culprit. I had to switch all hair and facial products, which was not easy and overwhelming. She helped me with the facial products and I changed to all natural hair products. In the end, my adult acne, which I had for 30 years plus, was due to my products! My face has been clear since l've been with Rachel and stick to great natural products. What a game changer it has been going to Rachel! I will be forever grateful.”

“Rachel is simply the BEST!! I have been going to her for years and I only trust her for my facials. My areas of concern are always fully addressed. I have the most sensitive skin and she goes above and beyond to explain everything and make me comfortable. I absolutely love her facials and appreciate all the time she spends massaging me as well. I also LOVE LOVE all the products she offers. She only recommends products that are best for me and explains thoroughly how to apply each one. I appreciate everything Rachel does for me! I am a loyal and happy customer!!”
