Founder
Luca Gabrielle (Educator VTCT)
With almost two decades in the hair industry, I’ve dedicated my career to luxury hair extensions, education and helping others feel confident through beautiful hair. As an award winning Hair Extension Specialist, accredited VTCT educator and Certified Stylist with Beauty Works Professional, I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge, techniques and experience I’ve gained throughout nearly two decades in the industry.
Based in the North East, I specialise in assisting client transformations and professional education, training aspiring stylists through my academy with a strong focus on quality, confidence, and real industry experience. Education has become one of the most rewarding parts of my journey, allowing me to mentor others and help build successful careers within the hair industry.
As well as teaching from my home academy I’m also available to travel throughout the UK, offering professional in salon training tailored to stylists and salon teams looking to elevate their skills and services.
My path into hair wasn’t traditional, but through determination, hard work and a genuine passion for my craft, I’ve built a career and business that I’m incredibly proud of. Alongside running my academy, I’m also a proud boy mom, I married to my best friend and truly grateful for the amazing clients and students who continue to support my journey.
