Alexis GABRIELLE

"When you look fantastic, you feel fantastic." That's the kind of feeling I try to give to all my clients. I have always been fascinated with the beauty industry, growing up I quickly learned that I wanted to do both hair and makeup. I gained my cosmetology license in Indiana at Prosser School of Cosmetology and later studied at Faces by Kathy Moberly. I decided that I not only wanted my Indiana license but Kentucky's as well, which led me to where I'm employed now, Serene Salon. I have 5+ years of experience in photo, bridal, and event hair and makeup. I have also had work published in TOPS Louisville. The most rewarding about this industry is being able to connect with each person who sits in my chair and creating the best version of whatever it is they want.

I am a licensed Cosmetologist and Master Stylist, and attended Paul Mitchell the school in Louisville, graduating as a Phase 2 Future Professional (their honor student program).

I specialize in on-location bridal and formal event styling and have styled for various local publications, businesses, and events, including the Voice-Tribune, KMAC Runway Show, Cosmo Modeling Agency, Ferdinand's Ball, and Pink Owl Senior Photography. As a bridal stylist, I look forward to getting to know each bride personally and understanding their beauty aesthetic to better enhance their wedding day. Often times, bridal clients become friends, and I couldn't be more honored to help execute their look, assist on their big day, and see all of the beautiful photos that follow.
