RACHAEL CRIDER

Hayden Spa Manager

Rachael’s favorite thing about working in the tanning and spa world comes down to one thing: people. She genuinely loves making connections, whether with clients or teammates, and learning what makes each person light up. For Rachael, a spa environment is the perfect place to do exactly that, all while helping others feel their very best inside and out.

Her approach to every client interaction is rooted in comfort. When people feel at ease, confidence follows naturally. Rachael takes time to understand each client’s goals and suggests the services and products that will truly elevate their experience, building trust one visit at a time and giving clients a reason to keep coming back.

Ask Rachael for her favorite service and she won’t hesitate: the R11 Medical-Grade Red Light. She personally uses the Recovery setting to support muscle recovery and reduce inflammation, and she always steps out feeling completely energized. With six specialized programs targeting everything from skin rejuvenation to pain relief, she loves how purposeful and results-driven every session feels.

Clients are often delighted to learn that Rachael’s most cherished role isn’t her title at Slick Rock, it’s being a mom. Her kids are her greatest joy, and that perspective shapes how she shows up for every client, with genuine care, patience, and heart.

When she’s not in the spa, there’s a good chance Rachael is somewhere outside. Hiking is her reset button, and pretty much any outdoor adventure feeds her soul, especially when she’s surrounded by family, close friends, and her four-legged companions. She also loves cooking, discovering new restaurants, and, by her own admission, adopting way too many plants.

Rachael’s personal wellness philosophy is refreshingly simple: water, movement, and sleep. She swears by staying consistently hydrated, fitting in exercise whether it’s a little or a lot, and protecting her sleep. These three habits form the foundation of how she feels each day, and she loves encouraging clients to start there, too.

For first-time visitors, Rachael’s goal is simple: make you feel comfortable, confident, and completely free to be yourself. She wants every client to walk in knowing the team is fully in their corner, ready to offer expert guidance, a listening ear, or a little shared excitement about whatever life moment brought them in. At Slick Rock Hayden, you’re not just a visit on the books—you’re part of the community.
