Gabrielle is amazing! She's knowledgeable when it comes to blonding and is great at cutting hair. She really nails that beachy, lived in look, which I love.

I have been in the industry since 2009. At the start of my career, I was an assistant at the biggest salon in Arizona. After 8 months of training under some of the most talented stylists, I was finally able to apply all of that knowledge and start my career! During my 5 years there I furthered my education by taking countless classes from Redken, Goldwell, Oribe, Kerastase, Bumble and Bumble, Hot Heads and R+Co.

I’ve lived in Vancouver, WA my entire life and have had my hair done by probably 20 hairstylists not even exaggerating and Gaby is literally the most amazing person and hairstylist I’ve ever had! She’s done just about everything to my hair and I always leave happy. She listens to what you want and asks questions until she really understands what you’re going for and if what I wanted was not good for my hair or she felt the result wouldn’t be what I desire she would tell me and help me figure what would be best. My hair has literally never been healthier. She’s also the kind of person

Gab was incredible! I randomly found her and insta and am so glad that I did! I had never colored my hair and was a bit nervous but she consistently reassured me and 100% exceeded my expectations. She’s extremely talented & so sweet! I’d highly recommend to anyone :)!

I hardly have words for how amazing I feel every single time I leave Gab’s studio!! I have been going to her for at least 5 years now, and started with cutting my hair that was at my low back to shoulder length and donating it. Ever since that day Gab has made me feel incredible about my hair and whatever my vision was for it! This last summer I decided I wanted some color, (for the very first time!) and I could not imagine trusting another person with my hair except Gab! I am so grateful to have someone that understands my goals for my hair, and is definitely more than my BOMB hair everything

Gab is an absolute magician! I hadn't had my hair done in over a year and in one session she got my hair to where I wanted it to be! She is also an amazing human, extremely professional, easy to talk to, and so incredibly talented. I've been getting my hair done since I was 12, and I can say with certainty she's the absolute best. She was also very mindful of COVID guidelines, and clearly puts a lot of effort into keeping her clients and herself safe. She's worth every penny!

I can’t speak highly enough of Gabrielle. After getting my hair ruined multiple times from other salons, I was scared to try another stylist but I’m so glad I found her. From the start she was so friendly and actually listened to what I wanted in my cut and color. I knew going in that It would take a few sessions to get what I wanted but I’m honestly in love with the way it turned out! It’s way better than I could have even imagined and I feel so good about my hair! I have been getting so many compliments as a result of her work. If you’re thinking about having Gabrielle do your hair

I used to scroll through Gabrielle's photos on her IG looking at all of her gorgeous hair pics, wishing I had the courage to make a change and try a new stylist. I finally made my first appt with Gab about a year ago and I couldn't be happier! She is AMAZING at what she does and always considers the health of the clients hair when consulting on a new color/style.
Gabrielle's new studio is a welcome change from the old-school open style salons that are loud and very public. Her new suite is cozy and private. I love it! It's perfect for working remotely if needed, or just chilling & having a witty

I have been a client of Gabrielle’s for awhile now and I absolutely adore her! She does such an amazing job and always does what’s best for my hair! I saw her the first time with terribly damaged hair and we have been working on getting my hair healthy and beautiful for awhile and she has been amazing through the whole process! She truly cares for her clients in her chair and out of the chair, AND of course is AMAZING at her job! I had my hair colored during the pandemic and felt safe and comfortable the whole time and I appreciate her extra care during this time!

Love Gabrielle! For years I was going to new hair stylists every time I needed a haircut and could never find someone who I liked.. Which made me go way too long without haircuts (like once a year!).
I started seeing Gabrielle almost a year ago and I am SO happy that I found her. Now I love getting my haircut. I feel so fresh and pretty after! I have very thick hair and SHE JUST GETS IT. Not only is she awesome at cutting hair, she's also the most down to earth person & an instant friend! I love her. Go see her!

Gabrielle’s work is beyond stunning. Each time I’ve been seen by her not only are my hair goals met, but I literally feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. If you like; talent, honesty, good company, friendly, knowledgeable, fun to be around then Gabby is your girl. I could not talk highly enough of her talent and her genuine personality. 5 stars doesn’t give enough credit to a great hair stylist who’s so enjoyable to be around. I will always recommend Gabrielle.
