Founder
Luca Gabrielle (Educator VTCT)
Hi, I’m Luca Gabrielle, a North East-based Hair Extension Specialist and Educator with 17 years of experience in the hair industry. I’m proud to be an award-winning stylist, fully insured and accredited, and a proud salon partner with Beauty Works. You’ll usually find me doing what I love most— transforming hair and building confidence, one strand at a time. And yes, online courses are coming soon—stay tuned!
​
Hair is truly my thing, but my journey hasn’t always been easy. I left school with very few qualifications, unsure of what the future held. What I did know was that I had passion, drive, and a determination to succeed. I gave it everything I had, and today, I run a successful hair academy training aspiring stylists across the North East—on my own terms, around my family, and with purpose.
​
I’m also a proud boy mom, married to my best friend, and I live for those sunshine-filled days. I’m forever grateful for the life I’ve built and the clients and students who make it so special. Always smiling, always learning, and always here to share my love
for hair with you.
