Artistic Team Tryouts 2019


Gabi Ibarra


Congratulations to Gabi Ibarra on making the Knockouts Artistic Team! Gabi is the assistant managers at our Roswell, GA location and has been with KO since January 2020. She obtained her cosmetology degree in 2014 and is licensed in the states Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. She also received a BFA in Fashion Marketing & Management from the Art Institute of Dallas in 2018. Gabi chose a career in hair because she loves the idea of helping others feel good. She appreciates that she can express herself through the details of her work AND the details of her own appearance with the freedom to have tattoos and piercings without being judged. She is a firm believer in “you don’t know what you don’t know”, which is what led her to try out for the Artistic Team. She is excited to travel with the team, learn new trends and be a positive role model. When Gabi isn’t in the shop cutting hair you might find her hard at work on a Pinterest DIY or doing arts and crafts with her children Kaliah, 3 and Kashton, 2. Knockouts is excited to have Gabi on the Artistic Team! Look for her and the rest of the team at BarberCon 2021 in Austin, Texas!

Congratulations to Jamie Triplett on making the Knockouts Artistic Team! Jamie has been with Knockouts – Fort Smith, AK - for over a year.

She is licensed in cosmetology and barbering. She graduated from SPC in August 2010. Jeanette lives by the idea that haircutting and styling are an art and loves being an artist behind the chair.
