Richie Araish: Extensions specialist
As Private Studio's resident extensions specialist, Richie lives and breathes hair. Period.
At the core of Richie’s work is one goal:
That every client leaves feeling like the most confident version of themselves. The experience is energetic, informed, and always results-driven.
With over 11 years behind the chair, he brings a level of energy and depth of knowledge that’s hard to match. An educator for multiple brands and currently teaching across Canada for Great Lengths Extensions, Richie regularly travels coast to coast, working hands-on with salon teams to elevate their extension work. Education is second nature to him, and that foundation shows in everything he does.
While he’s known for creating brighter, high-impact blondes and transformative extension work, his skill set runs far deeper. From seamless colour to beautifully shaped cuts with movement and structure, Richie approaches every service with intention and technical precision. He understands hair at a foundational level, which allows him to tailor each look to the person in his chair rather than just the trend of the moment.
Outside the salon
Richie’s pace doesn’t slow down much. He’s often at a concert, catching a flight for work, or planning a trip to Mexico with friends. And when it’s time to truly reset, you’ll find him at home with his family and his number one, Chloe, his French bulldog.
