Abel has been in the hair industry for 14 years. He started out his education at Paul Mitchell the School in Costa Mesa, CA. While in school, he had the opportunity to work with celebrity colorist Beth Minardi and Paul Mitchell platform artist Melissa Jaqua. After completing his schooling, he apprenticed at Cristophe Salon in Newport Beach, CA. After being at Cristophe, he decided to change things up and try the Los Angeles neighborhood. There he landed an apprentice position with Author, celebrity stylist Carrie White, who does the likes of, Sandra Bullock, Amber Valletta, Wallis Annenberg, to name a few.

He definitely felt that the “LA” scene gave him thicker skin and a backbone to be able to handle all types of personalities. Although he enjoyed The City of Angels, he also wanted to continue his education in Counseling, so after moving back to Orange County, he finished is apprentice program in Newport Beach, CA. Abel has always had the mentality that education never gets old. He continued his education through the Bumble and Bumble academy in New York, and trained with L’oreal Professionel and Kevin Murphy. Abel agrees that the key to being a successful hairdresser is humility and having a good ear. Every client wants to feel that they are being cared for and listened to.
