Gabrielle is awesome. I had a relaxing 1 hour treatment and didn’t want it to end. She is very warm and knowledgeable on the scalp and how to best take care of it.

This was my first experience with a service such as this and I couldn’t be more thankful for the education I left with that I can implement to maintain my hair health. I went for ENLIGHTEN head spa. From the moment I walked in, Gabrielle was welcoming, her space felt relaxing and cosy, and her goal was to truly tailor this experience and make it your own and ensure your comfortability every step of the way. This mama has not felt this relaxed and rejuvenated in a while. You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely enjoyed every second of the experience. From the conversation regarding scalp health to the zen experience! 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be back!!

Jan 06, 2025

Gabrielle is so great! She really listens to you and makes you feel heard, all while explaining the process / products to help my scalp needs!

I had such a wonderful experience with my treatment with Gabrielle! I’ve been waiting for a head spa to come to Austin and this did not disappoint! Gabrielle creates such a safe and comforting place and so knowledgeable and thoughtful of the experience

This was one of the best things I did for myself this year. Gabrielle is so knowledgeable when it comes to scalp care, and I really enjoyed learning about how to better take care of my scalp. The head spa was so nice and relaxing, and my scalp and hair have never felt cleaner. I enjoyed every second of my experience and would not hesitate to recommend GEMPIRE to all of my friends!

I had an amazing experience with Gabrielle at Gempire. The head spa treatment was incredibly relaxing and restorative. The products she used left my scalp and hair feeling clean and healthy. The sensory experience included many different modalities and products. I left feeling calm, restored and armed with all of the information I need to maintain a healthy scalp and achieve my hair growth goals. Gabrielle is very generous with her knowledge and expertise and is committed to arming her clients with all of the resources and education they need to maintain her results in between appointments. I’ll definitely be back and would totally recommend it to anyone looking to treat themselves!

I have been struggling with itching, flakey, inflamed scalp for about 1 year. Despite an unchanged diet and no major environmental shifts I couldn’t understand what was wrong. I researched Head Spas and came upon Gabrielle and was instantly drawn to her because of the in depth analysis she provides. I am a science person and microscopes are my jam. The fact we could look at my scalp and have confirmation of what was happening was very helpful to my understanding and motivation. Gabrielle is has a wealth of information to teach you and provides great resources to make sure your scalp can achieve what it needs to be healthy. The experience itself for the head spa is SO relaxing and soothing. I can’t express how much I enjoyed all aspects of the experience. I feel confident I’ll be able to heal my scalp and also understand what my scalp needs as things change in my life. Do this now. You wont regret it.

This is my honest review of the REPLENISH, which is all of TRANSCEND + a maintenance haircut for 2.5 hours + it came up to $445.00. Right on the 1st of November, right at 11am, I booked my appointment + thought it was weird that she only had 3-4 openings the ENTIRE month so I had to go with a date that wouldn’t have been my first, second or third choice. After I left the salon when my appt ended, I felt extreme buyer’s remorse and this is why. Needless to say, I expected a flawless experience, from start to finish. I had arrived early + waited in the front area + someone kindly let me in but Gabrielle didn’t show up until 2-3 minutes before my start time. I assumed she would have already been prepared by that point, you know, to cleanse the space + all that. My appointment ended up starting later than the time it was scheduled + there was a point in the beginning when I felt like I was invading Gabrielle’s space/didn’t feel welcomed. Other than this not so great start, the rest of the appointment went okay. She explained the importance of scalp care + answered all my questions. Her neighbor was extremely loud as their voices drifted from the thin walls. I understand that this isn’t Gabrielle’s fault but I couldn’t rest and meditate throughout the time she was working on my scalp/hair. Honestly, my scalp looks the same as before I arrived. I really wish I didn’t let her previous reviews convince me to book this appointment. I would say that if you’re not really having scalp issues, the best you can do is purchase some scalp oil + keep doing what you’re doing. That’s what I would do differently.

Gabrielle is offering such an incredibly unique, pleasurable experience, and beyond that you leave with an in depth understanding of your scalp and hair, and the tools you need to continue your hair/scalp health journey. I am so grateful I did the 90 minute enlighten package. Worth every penny and I can’t wait to come back!

Nov 06, 2024

I am an esthetician who came to Gabrielle for a one on one head spa training. This training was more than I could’ve asked for! It was a thorough, enlightening experience that I now cannot wait to extend to my clients. She is fully transparent and offers all of the knowledge and tools to help you become successful. I am grateful for this opportunity and would recommend seeing her for this wonderful service.

Nov 06, 2024

I sought out Gabrielle to attend her HeadSpa Academy. Gabrielle has an amazing spirit and is such a wealth of knowledge! Her course consisted of theory and hands on experience. My businesss partner and I left excited and fully equipped to offer this experience to our clients. Thank you again for sharing your gift

Nov 06, 2024

This was such an incredible experience! All of the analysis of my scalp and knowledge that Gabrielle was able to provide was extremely interesting and helpful. Truly my favorite part was the actual scalp cleaning/treatment. She uses so many different tools that not only feel amazing but also provided a sensory experience through the smells of the products and sounds of the tools. It was perfectly relaxing and I left with such light, clean feeling hair.

Oct 06, 2024

Amazing experience! I left with a healthy scalp and a ton of empowering information regarding scalp care. Highly recommend!!

Oct 06, 2024

Fabulous experience all around. Gabrielle is amazing and I cannot recommend this experience enough. My hair and scalp feel rejuvenated while my mind and body are still relaxed.

Oct 06, 2024

I was so lucky to be able to be a model for one of Gabrielle's Head Spa educational services for other stylists and estheticians. The Head spa experience with her is already a phenomenal experience to have, but it was truly inspiring to witness her as a main educator of this new way of offering services when it comes to scalp care and scalp treatment. Gabrielle knows her stuff and truly anyone that wants to expand upon their own services in this way would be receiving an abundance of education and knowledge to catapult their own Head Spa business.

Oct 06, 2024

I’ve been to Gabrielle twice now for a head spa experience and it is just out of this world! It’s so relaxing in every way. Mental and physical heaven. You just melt away for hours in her care. Not to mention the world of knowledge I learned about how to care for my scalp and how to actually style my naturally curly hair. My first visit was a personal experience with Gabrielle and my second was a model for her student Michelle. The ladies and gents in Tennessee are in for a treat when michelle opens her doors for head spa treatments as she was amazing!

My head spa appointment is hands down one of the most relaxing, transformative, and best experiences of my life. Gabrielle is not only incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the scalp and hair but she also is able to share it in a way that helped me understand what my routine can be and what next steps to take without feeling overwhelmed. I had gone my entire life not knowing how to properly take care of my hair and within 2 hours I walked away knowing exactly what my hair needs to go from thin and not growing to creating growth. It was also a spiritual experience to have my head spa experience after she cut my hair. For the first time in my life I discovered the real texture of my hair and how it’s curly. She taught me how to use a diffuser and everything I would need to get started with my new relationship with my hair. She even offered for me to pull a tarot card for the intention of my spa experience and it was all very aligned. I hadn’t done anything to my hair in 2 years and was not feeling confident but after that appointment I feel like a brand new woman. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for the best hair experience possible. Thank you Gabrielle!

Gabrielle is amazing at what she does. She is very thorough and knows the scalp and hair. Highly recommend if you want to learn more about scalp care and taking care of your hair. Best first experience at a hair spa. Very relaxing!

Jul 06, 2024

I had such a lovely head spa experience with Gabrielle! I learned so much about my scalp, she sent loads of information for products afterwards, and I was so relaxed! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!!

Jul 06, 2024

I have been a client of Gabrielle's for 8 years and she is truly one of a kind. Not only does she cut my fine hair perfectly every time but also creates the most relaxing space to completely unwind and de-stress. Watching her evolution through the years and introducing new services like the Head Spa experience is such an inspiration. Her creativity and dedication to her clients is unmatched. I did her Transcend Head Spa experience today and it was magical to say the least. Her care and attention to scalp health is something that everyone needs to experience. Such an amazing Spa experience to bring some zen into your life and your scalp and hair will thank you!

Jul 06, 2024

I’ve been searching high and low for a headspa in Austin and was thrilled when I found Gabrielle! She works magic with her hands, my hair has never felt better! She’s extremely thorough and knowledgeable while also providing a warm, comforting and relaxing experience. Definitely recommend if you're invested in your hair and scalp health, or if you just want to treat yourself!

Apr 06, 2024

Five stars isn’t enough. I absolutely love my experience and Gabrielle is incredibly knowledgeable about products and techniques for your hair. Her space is absolutely gorgeous and she is welcoming and friendly. It’s so relaxing. I can’t wait to continue services with her.

Mar 06, 2024

Gabrielle gives the most magical experience with the head spa. Education mixed with the most zen service. I always look forward to my head spa appointments! The Transcend Head Spa Package is my favorite!

Feb 06, 2024

Beautiful and practical experience. Gabrielle brings such intention to everything she does. I have experienced her Head Spa packages as well as her online training modules and they TRANSFORMED my hair and scalp. In her online course, she breaks down the basics of oiling, cleansing and hydrating the scalp/hair in the most approachable way. I guarantee, you will be surprised at how much you will learn and how it will change your scalp/hair. The Head Spa experience is a gorgeous ritual and I think her online courses are simply a MUST.

Gabby is AMAZING. Working with her is so fantastic because she really cares about your hair goals and will be honest about the steps it will take to achieve them. She is clearly very knowledgeable about hair and I trust her completely with her recommendations because I know she cares about what will be best for me. I love working with someone who is honest because I can rely on them to be an expert and open with me about what it will take to achieve what I want. Gabby really takes the time to get to know you and understand your hair so she can put together the best plan for you. She also uses the best hair products. I've switched up my at-home hair routine based on her recommendations and it has really given me some of the best hair of my life. She customized her recommendations based on my specific hair issues and provided detailed descriptions on the products she was recommending, how and when to use them properly, and why it would be great for my hair. It's a shame no one can see my hair in quarantine, because my hair is thriving from her recs! Gabby also has some incredible recommendations on her website that I've had the pleasure of treating myself and my hair while in quarantine. She had also given me virtual consultations on hair products to use to treat the issues I want to address. Gabby is so talented and you should absolutely trust her with cut and color. If you want to take your hair experience to another level, Gabby has some incredible, unique offerings too. Gabby offers hair tinsel which has added some serious low maintenance and affordable magic to my hair that really *lasts*. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to add a little adventure to their hair or an extra sparkle to their already unicorn hair. Gabby also has AMAZING scalp treatments that are so relaxing and truly have been revitalizing to my scalp. I am looking forward to going into her space in person again and treating myself with her phenomenal services.

Feb 06, 2024

Gabrielle is the best. She has helped me over the years including for my wedding, cancer treatments, rediscovering my hair after cancer and teaching me so much about how to care for my hair. Hair spa services are amazing too. Plus she’s a hoot! Highly recommend!

Feb 06, 2024

I just completed the At Home Hair Ritual videos, and I must say that you are NEVER too old to learn something new! In all of my 67 years, I’ve never really thought about pampering my scalp and hair, nor did I know how to shampoo and blow dry correctly! I’ve learned that taking care of my hair and scalp is JUST as important as taking care of the rest of my body. Thank you, Gabrielle, for sharing your knowledge, and I can’t wait to see you for a full Head Spa treatment!

Feb 06, 2024

I really enjoyed the Head spa experience because it made my scalp very clean . I appreciated the advice that Gabrielle shared with me about how to take care of my scalp. I also watched her educational videos, which were very informational. I am still working on my scalp journey and I appreciate everything I learned from Gabrielle!

Feb 06, 2024

I received my first head spa yesterday and I am still reeling from the experience! It’s like a facial for your head! It was so cool seeing my scalp under the microscope before and after. As an esthetician, I really value that and it made me excited to start treating my scalp with love!

Feb 06, 2024

If you care about your hair and scalp health, this head spa experience is A MUST. Gabrielle is so sweet and so knowledageable on scalp care. All of the products she uses are vegan and sustainable as well! The head spa itself was so relaxing and rejuvinating, I didn't want it to end! I walked out of there with my head and hair feeling so much lighter than when I walked in. Thank you Gabreille for offering this service in the Austin area!

Feb 06, 2024

I’ve loved my experience here! Gabrielle is very thoughtful and intentional with everything she does, and I know that my hair and scalp are in good hands with her. I’ve felt so relaxed during my scalp treatments and Gabrielle does a great job at helping make all of your worries and stresses leave your body. Thank you so much Gabrielle and look forward to coming back very often!

Feb 06, 2024

LOVE Gabrielle and everything she does! She’s so smart and really focused on education as well as providing a relaxing experience. And her product recommendations are amazing! Can’t wait to see her again. Not sure how I ever got along without head spas!

Feb 06, 2024

Nothing but good things to say about Gabrielle and the services she offers. Super knowledgeable about hair and scalp health, and knows how to explain it in such a way that you feel equipped to help your own hair. Super relaxing studio where you feel comfortable speaking to a professional about your hair concerns, and know you will be listened to and helped. I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to be more connected to their hair health. I’ll definitely be coming again.

Sheer bliss! Gabrielle provides one of the most incredible services on this planet. As one who is a fan of all things body care including massage, facial and overall pampering, I was totally missing out not having this incredible scalp and hair healing treatment. Not only has my hair become softer and more shiny, but I know truly know how to take care of it. Gabrielle educates her clients on the best ways to care for their hair and scalp. The best is Gabrielle's warm presence and the way she cares for you while there. The scalp oil treatment and long luxurious hair washing is the best I have ever had. While drying my hair, I was so relaxed that I literally fell asleep in her chair. Her services are one of a kind and the bonus is that you will leave with AMAZING looking and feeling hair!! There are so many reasons to see Gabrielle but one of the top for me is that she uses all natural and organic products. No toxic hair dyes in the background while getting your hair done. This is so important to me. I highly recommend going to Gabrielle for a zen hair shavassana you will never forget!

Feb 06, 2024

Such a wonderful experience!! I def felt like I was floating!! If you haven’t try any of the services that Gabrielle offers you should try!

Feb 06, 2024

This was such a great experience. I learned so much about my scalp and hair, I’ve been getting compliments for days on how healthy it looks! It was also so relaxing and I felt like she truly cared about me! 100% recommend!!
