Beyond the salon, AbyGael is dedicated to personal growth, striving to become the highest version of herself. She finds joy in life’s simple pleasures and seeks beauty in the little things.

About her:
Hanna is a passionate and detail-oriented hairstylist who started beauty school in 2023 and instantly fell in love with the craft, the creativity, and most of all, the people. She graduated in February 2024, certified in scalp health and Bellami extensions, with a passion for all hair textures, especially curls and waves. 

Joining Ginger & Maude felt like coming home—a salon that shares her values of sustainability, inclusivity, and community involvement. 

Hanna is talkative, warm-hearted, and loves learning from her clients as much as she loves serving them. When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find her painting, belting out karaoke, or tearing it up on the dance floor—she competes in both line and swing dancing. And yes—she runs on iced coffee with cold foam.
