Welcome to Painted Raine Studios!

Manchester, NH's Best Hairstylist for Vivid Color, Curls, & Hair Extensions

Hi! I'm Renee Caron, an experienced hairstylist with a passion for creating stunning hair transformations. With over 6 years of experience, I continuously seek further education to stay at the forefront of this ever-evolving industry.


Drawing inspiration from my background in painting and photography, I see hair as a canvas for artistry. Whether it's vibrant color "unicorns," bringing out the beauty of curly hair, or elevating looks with extensions, I specialize in a range of techniques and hold numerous certifications, always striving to meet your unique needs.


Outside of the salon, I'm a proud mother, wife, and animal lover. I embrace my colorful and unique personality, which complements my passion for expressive hair styling.


My studio is a judgment-free zone where everyone is warmly welcomed. I’m an introvert in an extraverted world, and hair artistry is the most fun way I’ve found to express myself... and my amazing clients often feel the same way!

Specialized Training, Certifications, & Awards

  1. Top 100 Creative Stylist - Behind the Chair Awards
  2. First place for Fall Vivid Color - Salon Interactive
  3. Certified Curl Stylist
  4. Certified in 6 different extensions methods, including as an educator
  5. Extensive trainings and certifications - I have taken approximately 5 trainings per year for the past 6 years and am continuously learning and improving my craft


Note: I care deeply about sustainability and work with all vegan brands.


My mission is to support radical self-expression through hair artistry.

My artistic journey began at 34, a late start by some standards, but it was the birth of my daughter that sparked my curiosity in hairstyling—from not knowing how to french-braid to mastering an eleven-strand braid through videos online.


This newfound passion led me to cosmetology school, a decision fueled by my earlier pursuits in art school, where I majored in painting and photography. Now, each day presents a new canvas, a new person to meet, and a thrilling challenge that keeps my spirit alive.


I aim to unlock the art of color in hairstyling, sharing the nuances and science behind it, and to reawaken the imaginative, unicorn spirit within us all. Getting to know me means understanding my passion for continuously challenging myself to learn and create art, as well as my eagerness to share my knowledge. It's about communicating the belief that it's never too late to embark on a new path.


I love what I do, I see this industry as a community and not a competition. If there is a project I can't do, or I know someone who will nail it even better, I will always refer you to ensure you receive the best of the best.


I thrive on tackling complex color corrections, reveling in vivid hues, and sculpting beautiful curls. My commitment is to embrace each challenge, explore innovative solutions, and remain grounded, knowing my limits and committing to the never-ending journey of growth.

Unleash your inner unicorn at Painted Raine Studio.
