Hair's Talent, Multi-Ethnic Hair Salon in East Haven, CT

The first multi-ethnic hair salon in Connecticut and home of the GinaCurl by Gina Rivera

Gina and her team of stylists are the ultimate source of knowledge when it comes to maintaining healthy hair, preserving length, and caring for your hair type and texture.

A passion for curls, kinks and coils - and growing healthy hair.

We know how important it is for you to maintain your growth, especially for curly girls who battle for every inch. that's why at Hair's Talent, we start with a Hair Care Prescriptive Plan.

We understand hair texture.

Gina has built a business by being a good listener - and a champion for girls with curls. Over and over, Gina's clients would tell their story. They wanted to wear their natural hair but their journey failed them. They tried various chemical treatments, from relaxers to keratin, and were always disappointed with the results. Traditional sodium hydroxide relaxers would leave their hair dry and brittle. Curly perms would over process their delicate hair, making it frizz or limp.

Gina knows that hair type 4B, 4C, and hair of mixed-race textures can be deceptive. We can't treat it like coarse hair and use the strongest chemicals! Curly hair can actually be fine, porous, and delicate. A harsh formula can damage curly hair and jeopardize health and precious length. That’s exactly why Gina created her GinaCurl product line and techniques!
