Meet Gabrielle | Blonding & Custom Color in Jacksonville Beach

Hi, I’m Gabrielle! I was born right here in Jacksonville but raised in Georgia with my close-knit Christian family—two brothers, a sister, and the most loving parents. I’ve been married to my amazing husband Ryan for four years, and we have three dogs who keep life joyful and fun.

My journey into the beauty industry started with a passion for creativity, self-expression, and helping others feel confident. I’ve always loved all things fashion, beauty, and skincare—anything that reflects individuality. I originally planned to be a makeup artist, but during the COVID lockdown, I became captivated by hairstyling videos and knew this was my calling. I followed that spark to Paul Mitchell The School Jacksonville, where I trained in advanced color techniques and modern styling.

Today, I specialize in dimensional blonding, custom color, and medium to long haircutting for clients in Jacksonville Beach. From natural-looking highlights to soft, seamless blends and tailored cuts, I love creating looks that complement each guest’s face shape, skin tone, and lifestyle. My goal is to help you feel confident, radiant, and at ease in the chair—and nothing beats the moment when someone lights up seeing their finished look.

Outside of the salon, you’ll find me hiking with Ryan, curled up with a good book, playing with our pups, or spending time at church and with loved ones. I’m deeply interested in interior design, theology, graphic design, and psychology—anything that explores creativity or the human experience.

I chose The Fox Salon because of its serene, team-oriented environment and commitment to ongoing education. The good vibes here are real—and I’m so grateful to grow my craft alongside such kind and talented stylists.

A few of my favorite Bible verses:

• Micah 6:8

• Colossians 3:23

• Colossians 3:14

If you’re looking for a blonde specialist, personalized color, or a fresh, flattering haircut, I’d love to bring your hair goals to life. Let’s create something beautiful together!
