MEET RAENA
Raena is a Kansas City hairstylist focused on creating hair that feels polished, personal, and true to each client.
From wedding mornings to color appointments in the salon, her goal is to make every client feel comfortable, confident, and taken care of.
From the Soccer Field to the Salon
Before stepping behind the chair, Raena spent years competing as a Division I soccer player at the University of Kansas.
