Tell us about yourself!
Born and raised on the mid coast of Maine, I come from small town roots, but I had big city dreams! So six years into my career I decided to start the journey that would bring me here to Minneapolis. When I wasn’t in the salon (in Maine), I was traveling to my local cosmetology school and splitting my time to teach. For two years I got to teach both in the classroom and on the clinic floor working one on one with cosmetology and barber students. I continued that path by becoming an educator here in the Twin Cities and worked at the Aveda Institute Minneapolis for while. I find immense joy in the connections I make with my clients, and creating a space for true authenticity to come forward through self expression!
Favorite Product?: Milbon Blowout Primer! It’s great for any blow-dry styling, helps detangle, and adds shine! I also love the Texture Spray from Milbon — it adds soft texture to blowouts & curls.
Something you wish every client know about haircare at home?: Double shampooing is necessary if you go more than two days in between! Also, a healthy scalp helps with healthy hair!!
Your favorite hair projects: I love tailoring haircuts to clients needs and lifestyle! Offering solutions to hair needs and educating clients about styling & products.

“I just went in for a haircut with Abagail and I couldn't be happier! I'm from out of town and desperately needed a cut on a short notice and I lucked out big time stumbling on Abagail. She was super nice and attentive and had a magical touch!! She gave me the exact haircut I wanted and made it look even better than in the picture I showed her. She is very delicate with hair and scalp and almost made it feel like a massage. It was incredible! She was friendly and able to keep a nice, stress free conversation but also gave me my space when I needed to check on work texts and emails. If you want a talented, artistic, attentive and kind stylist go see Abagail at Gem!!! You will not regret it.”

“Abagail was phenomenal! She asked a ton of questions to be sure she executed my vision and she totally nailed it. When I wasn’t 100% clear in that vision she guided me to take a some risk and add a little edge to my hair. Which was precisely what I needed. Her “chair side” manner was perfect and while we chatted about boots and tattoos she was sure to check in with me periodically throughout the appointment to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. 10/10 will book again!”
