Gabrielle Zalina

Gabrielle Zalina is a licensed cosmetologist and beauty educator with about 20 years in the hair care industry. She now operates salons in Atlanta and Jacksonville and is listed as founder and pro stylist for the business.

The core of the offering is curl consultation, held in person at either salon. Clients can also book a Crowns & Curls Chat, a 30-minute web conference focused on product questions and hair goals. Booking confirmation includes the details for the chat.

Alongside the salons, Gabrielle founded én Love Beauty, an aloe-first haircare brand built for natural curls. The line is formulated with aloe vera as its first ingredient, along with coconut milk, pure honey, marula oil and batana oil. Products cover shampoos, pre-poos and conditioners, hair and scalp oils, edge controls, styling creams, gels and mousse, and bundles. The brand is founded, formulated and led by women.

Press and recognition include an interview with OTC Beauty Magazine, and Cocotique naming her Cocobelle of the Month and its first Curl Ambassador. A YouTube channel describes her as one of the industry's most knowledgeable curl experts; that description comes from the channel itself. She is open to brand partnerships, media features, speaking engagements and salon collaborations.

Care is built around botanical, aloe-first formulas designed for natural curls, coils and kinks, with consultations used to talk through product questions and hair goals.
