raysa - hair specialist
Hello everyone, my name is Raysa, and I am a master stylist at SBL. I specialize in color transformations for all hair types, Rëzo cuts for curly hair, and natural smoothing treatments. I have been in the industry for 15 years, and I love everything hair-related. Being part of the SBL team has introduced me to wellness and scalp care, which I am growing passionate about. I love taking on transformations and projects that challenge me as an artist.
Fun facts about me: I love singing, I started a YouTube channel in 2012 where I shared my curly hair transition journey, and I have an adorable family. Follow me on Instagram, and let’s connect @hairaysa

Eliana -Creative Director
Hi everyone, my name is Eliana Benoit and I am the creative director at SBL. As the creative director, I play a crucial role in shaping the visual and conceptual aspects of the brand, ensuring it resonates with the intended audience. I enjoy developing and implementing creative concepts that align with the brand's goals and target audience.
Moreover, helping Samel develop and craft SBL has been very rewarding. As a creative director with a major in marketing, I could envision her ideas before they came to life, and it has been beautiful to watch. We started working together when she opened her first suite, Vibras Suites. Envisioning and customizing my clients’ ideas is what makes my career special.
Fun facts about me: Traveling is my love language, I fly people for a living, and I became a vegan/pescatarian at 18. Let’s stay connected @elianabenoit
