Rachael Coppola:
Rachael is a senior stylist at the Privé Salon in New York City. Her extensive
training has enabled her to become an Educator for Privé Products, a member of
the International Privé Artistic Team, and trainer for Ecole "Privé"
Academy.
With a passion for hairstyling, Rachael moved from Spokane, WA to New York City at the
age of 19 to pursue her career. She began working at Privé New York as an
assistant and utilized the opportunity to absorb the diverse techniques of the stylists
she worked with. She has since advanced to become a stylist herself and to explore the
various facets of the industry through fashion shows (Jenni Kayne, Behnaz
Sarafpour, Rock & Republic), photo shoots (American Salon,
InStyle, New York Post), as well as personal styling for celebrities,
including Jewel, Brooke Shields and Lindsay Lohan.
Her creativity and attention to detail allows her to flow comfortably from avant-garde
runway styles to customized haircuts for each individual person. "When a client leaves
my chair feeling better about themselves than when they came in, I feel like I've done
what I came here to do."

Jenny Rey:
Jenny has been a hair stylist for 4 years and works at Privé Salon - Miami
for Franck Izquierdo, Artistic Director for Privé. She has trained in both
NYC and Miami, and is now currently a member of the member of the International
Privé Artistic Team.
Jenny has said that her inspiration for doing hair is Elvis Presley. "The man
revolutionized style, hair, music: the works! I fell in love with his pomp!" Her
favorite thing about working in a salon is the actual salon itself: it has the most
amazing atmosphere. She has worked with clients such as Mickey Rourke, Chris Hournbrook
from Poison The Well, and Darren Brass from Miami Ink. She's worked at New York Fashion
Week for Heatherette, Mercedes Swimsuit Week, Miami Fashion Week, Ocean Drive
Magazine, Map Magazine, and more!
The most enjoyable thing about being a Privé Educator for Jenny is teaching a
new outlook on hair and the product, and getting students the right facts and
techniques to make them better hair stylists and artists in their own right. Her
favorite products are the Finishing Texture Spray and the Flash Brilliance; together
they're a perfect match for the right hold and shine on the hair.
Jenny loves being a hair stylist because it's something that never stops growing
and moving forward with fashion. There are no stop signs when it comes to doing
hair and growing as a professional! She strives to always make her clients feel
excited and fulfilled, as if dead weight was taken from their shoulders and they
were just revived back into an organic atmosphere.
Justus Kerr:
Justus has been a "Hair Artisan" for over 15 years, and an educator for 9 of those years. In those 15 years he has
developed a strong passion and hunger for the hairstyling industry. His inspiration comes from watching and learning
from those that are more experienced. He is currently living in beautiful Las Vegas, and works at Amp Salon at the
Palms Resort and Casino.
Justus loves to teach the Privé vision taught to him by Laurent D. and Franck Izquierdo. When he is in a
training setting he begins by sharing with his peers that he is there to inspire and to motivate others to think
outside of the box. He also teaches ways to correct the bad habits that stylists have picked up along the way.
Justus has had the privilege of working with many celebrities, such as: Bette Midler, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Tilly,
Jasmine Guy, Aaron Carter, and Jamie Lynn Siegler, just to name a few. Although he has worked with many people in
the public eye, his preference is that one client that needs to feel good about them self and has given him
the honor to change their look. It means a lot to him when a client loves the way he or she looks after he has
done their hair. It's what keeps Justus growing as a senior stylist and also why he chooses to share his vision
and dedication with others as an Elite member of the Privé International Artistic Team.
