Would love to get started to do Gina
Curl!

Amazing workers here that do phenomenal braids with a calm environment!

This is the first time in my ENTIRE life that I\'ve left a hair dresser with the style and cut that I really wanted. Gina and Gianna did an incredible job straightening my hair using the Japanese thermal reconditioning and cutting it to a bob. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I will absolutely be coming back o...ver and over to get whichever style I\'m feeling next. They made me feel at home, were super accommodating to my needs and I had fun! Definitely worth the 3 hour commute from NYC as well. If I could post pictures to show the outcome I would! Thank you both!! read more

I had my very first curly cut ever with Giana and everything about this experience was amazing. I didn’t even know what my curls looked like before seeing her. She talked me through the entire process of what products I should be using and how to apply them properly so I can get the best of my hair...every time. I’ve never been happier with my hair! read more

First time and felt comfortable. Best cut ever! I got great advice as how to proceed. My hair feels and looks fantastic! Very fair and reasonable pricing! Will be a forever customer!!!

Thank you Gina so much, you listened to my concerns and adjusted my treatment and curl size and I am very happy with my hair, it’s healthy and very easy to take care of. You and your whole team are wonderful because you create a comfortable friendly professional environment where I feel you don’t ju...st do what you want but you consider your clients feeling and then add all your expertise and years of experience with this process, thank you and your team for your patience humbleness and respect. I truly appreciate all of you. read more

I am black (Afro-Latina, African-American and Caribbean descent) with hair that took many years for me to manage. My hair is fine, but curly (somewhere in the 4 family), and deceptive. Years and years ago when I relaxed my hair, stylists would say I had coarse hair and would use the strongest relaxe...rs. The opposite is true: my hair is fine, very porous and needs a lot of moisture and tender loving care. I went natural for years until I found Gina. I found her on the internet and she is not only incredibly knowledgeable about ethnic hair, she truly cares about maintaining length and promoting healthy hair when using chemicals. I started out with the thermal reconditioning, which gave me incredible results. My hair was never so healthy, shiny and full of body with a relaxer. I wanted a change from the straight look to something that would give me more volume and looser curl. I currently have the GinaCurl. It is a variation of the same products used when getting a Japanese straightening (thermal reconditioning), except Gina modifies the application and process so that my hair is not bone straight. She sets my hair on perm rods and my hair has curl now. It looks like my hair was set on flexi rods. The ends stay curled! I use Jane Carter products and my hair looks great! Gina is an artist! read more

Shared with permission: It’s been a long year and a half since I’ve gotten my last GinaCurl. During that time, I was involved in a relationship that was physically, mentally, financially, and emotionally abusive. My ex had massive control over my self-esteem and made me believe that I was not beauti...ful wearing my natural hair, among other things. The fact of the matter though, was that he noticed how good I looked and felt with my GinaCurl. As a result, he would get jealous and violent that people constantly complimented me on my hair. A few months ago when he saw that I submitted a GinaCurl consultation, he stole my bank cards, took my laptop, and pulled hard, until he ripped out a chunk of my hair. That was the last straw! That was the day I decided it was over! Today, I am so happy to be a domestic violence survivor! I was able to go into shelter and seek counseling which has led me to reflect on my life and on the service I received at Hair’s Talent. I share my story with you to let you know that your services mean more to me than just a hairdo. My GinaCurl was my way of feeling beautiful even during my year and a half of abuse and oppression. read more

When I returned home with my new GinaCurl, my husband took one look and froze. He couldn't take his eyes off me and he even put away the groceries!

I had the pleasure of flying out to shadow Miss Gina for two days and her salon a few months ago gaining knowledge and techniques. The staff is very friendly and I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking about business and talking about our hair industry and special life moments with Miss Gina.... What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking out the time that you poured into me! read more

Finally received my 1St GinaCurl retouch after 6 months! I love it even more than the first time. I know you guys are probably tired of me posting about it, but it has literally changed my hair life!! From 30 minutes of just curling iron in the morning to 6 minutes water spray, leave in conditioner,... curl cream and out the door! Thank you Gina and Staff!! So happy I stumbled on this website while searching what to do with my hair. read more

I love my hair!! I'm on my third GinaCurl and it's the best decision I've made for my hair!! In the past I've tried wave nouveau, and waves by design essentials and I can contest that the Gina curl is different! I am speaking from experience, my hair looks different, it's not greasy, it doesn't stin...k lol, it feels healthier because it is healthier! I am retaining more than I did with any other curly perm. I'm so grateful for Gina and her service. read more

I had a GinaCurl done in Connecticut several years ago, and I’m so grateful that Gina trained stylists around the globe.

Having done extensive research online, desperately searching for a solution to my hair needs, I found a hair care specialist named Gina, at a shop called “Hair’s Talent” all the way in East Haven, Connecticut. Making the decision to travel the distance came after reading about Gina’s history of hair... care for all cultures, and she being the “first and only white woman” who cared greatly about the healthiness of the hair of women of color, from the 1970’s until today, from perms to the extinction of Jheri Curls. My first concerns were that this might be the old Jheri Curl of days gone by, but I was intrigued by what I read in her “HISTORY” and seeing the evidence of her work. Gina, a woman who looked at the problems women of color faced with hair loss due to chemical processing, took the time and made the effort to come up with a successful method of maintaining the healthiness of our hair with chemical processing. She, the one and only hair care specialist, created a method that results in beautiful, bouncing, easily manageable and continuously growing hair that lasts for an extended period of time. Why are other women of color making negative references toward a “white” woman who could have chosen to maintain the status quo, but who stepped out of the cultural norm, who CARED, who ANALYZED, who CREATED A METHOD to SAVE OUR HAIR! Gina, at Hair’s Talent is so appropriately named...her “TALENT” for taking care of ALL HAIR is not limited to one culture, but all cultures across the globe from Africa to Europe, from the East Coast to the West Coast we travel to put our hair in the care of this “GIFTED” hair care specialist, Gina, who is now sharing her GIFT with other beauticians. I have chosen the GinaCurl, which is NOT the same as a Jheri Curl or any other curl which I have had! The Gina Curl is a Gina CREATION, and her gift of a style that is beautiful, versatile, healthy, continuously growing, and manageable hair. I can say from my experience that at Hair’s Talent “Black Hair Matters” and we women of color should embrace and not hate this “white” woman who cares about our hair!!! read more

Hi Gina! It's Angela, your biggest fan from New Jersey! Miya and I love our hair and cannot thank you enough for transforming us!!!! It was sooo nice to meet you in person after following you on YouTube for years! You, your beautiful daughter Giana and the rest of your staff are amazing and we love...you all! Love you Gina and we wish you huge success in your future endeavors with GinaCurl! God Bless you. read more

Since I got my GinaCURL my wash days have been cut down to washing and deep conditioning in 45 minutes! I love my GinaCurl and I receive so many compliments on how pretty my curls are!!! My hair has flourished since getting my GinaCURL and I can’t wait to get my retouch soon!!!

I have a GinaCurl and love it!! I used to spend more on weaves and products. It used to take me 5 to 6 hours to do my natural hair now I'm in and out of my house in 15 minutes. I get so many compliments all the time. I've had other 4C women say to me that they wish they had my curl pattern, I would...love to wear my hair out as well. Well newsflash, I did have 4C hair.... lol...but now I'm at GinaCurl girl for life. I love my new here lifestyle!! read more

I’m back home in the heat (thank goodness!), but I had to write and let you know how much I LOVE my hair!! It’s even more beautiful than I imagined ahead of my appointment. I don’t think I have the words to truly express how excited I am about my GinaCurl, but hopefully the smile in the attached pic... tells the story! Thank you for your kindness and professionalism yesterday, and THANK YOU for this beautiful head of curls!! read more

I have been a client of Gina's for 16 wonderful years and I have only the highest praise for Gina and the people who work for her. They are a family and they treat their customers like family. I trust Gina with my hair and one week-ago she encouraged me to get her Gina’s Straight Variation. This Afr...ican American woman loves her hair! Why did I wait so long? It is 1000 times better than the traditional African American perms! There is no hair breakage and your hair will feel like silk. If you want healthy, straight and silky hair--Call Gina ASAP! read more

Hair’s Talent/ GinaCurl I call it miracle hands, my daughter and I had a great experience. They exceeded our expectations, I wish I discovered it years ago, but thank God we have now, we are going back every 6month. Now the salon is beautiful and Gina and her ladies are very welcoming, I highly high...ly recommend this place. I will come back and write another review since I am still in shock at how beautiful and gorgeous and soft curls my hair is right now. I am short of words, so I will update or write another review when I calm down. Gina’s GinaCurls are wonderful. My daughter and I love our curls so much ! read more
