OUR STORY
EGGIE started with one stylist’s dream and grew into a salon built to help people thrive — both in the chair and behind it.
Founded in Baton Rouge, EGGIE Salon Studio is a full-service hair salon specializing in personalized haircuts, color, extensions and treatments. What began as a one-chair business has grown into two Baton Rouge salon locations and a team of stylists committed to helping every guest look and feel their best.
From the beginning, EGGIE has been about more than great hair. We believe an exceptional salon experience starts with listening, building trust and creating an environment where guests and stylists feel supported.

Our Founder
Meet Rachel Eggie Gibbs
For EGGIE founder Rachel Eggie Gibbs, becoming a hairstylist was the plan from an early age. A Baton Rouge native, Rachel knew by 14 that she wanted to pursue a career in hair. She first earned a marketing degree from LSU before attending the Aveda Institute in Houston and beginning her career as a stylist.
Rachel returned to Baton Rouge in 2016 and started House of Eggie, building her clientele from the ground up. As the business grew, so did her vision. She wanted to create more than a place for clients to get their hair done. She envisioned a salon where talented stylists could learn, grow and build successful careers.
That passion for education extends beyond the salon. Rachel has built an online community around approachable hair education, teaching people how to style, care for and better understand their own hair at home.
That vision became EGGIE Salon Studio, with its first location opening on Goodwood Boulevard in 2020. EGGIE later expanded with a second Baton Rouge salon on Perkins Road near LSU.
Rachel’s work has also taken on a deeply personal mission. She has worked with women experiencing hair loss and regrowth after chemotherapy and has partnered with the local cancer community to provide education and support throughout the regrowth process.
Today, Rachel focuses on EGGIE’s continued growth, developing its team and creating opportunities for the next generation of stylists while staying true to the philosophy that started it all: helping people feel confident, supported and empowered.
