The GinaCurl can take up to 1 hour to process so we can take our time to customize the curl reformer and address any differences in curl patterns and porosity levels throughout the hair. No matter your curl type, you will be able to gain and maintain length with this healthier curl reformation process.

Healthy Alternative

Safety begins with our consultation process.  If we know your complete hair history (keratin, henna, perms, relaxers, hair color, home remedies...tell us everything!) we can perform the service without damaging your hair.Your hair will hold on to its natural elasticity and will only to be touched up about once or twice a year. 

The Different Curly Perm

GinaCurl is not a Jherri Curl or Wave Nouveau, nor is it a kitchen relaxer you can do at home! What makes GinaCurl different is the product and the application technique that took over a decade to develop. We adapt our technique to your unique head of hair, working section by section, often using 2 or 3 different strengths of Curl Reformer.

GinaCurl is a 3 Step Process

GinaCurl can only be performed by a certified stylist, trained by Gina Rivera, using only GinaCurl Curl Reformer.

Reset

 

First, we start with the Curl Reformer to alter the protein chains in the hair which prepares your curls to take on a new shape. They're going to get a makeover.

Rearrange

 

Next, we give your curls new direction by winding the hair around perm rods of varied sizes, customizing the placement around the head. Then, using heat, we reactivate the bonds.

Reform

 

Finally, we neutralize the hair and permanently seal the bonds so that your curls keep their new shape.

What Makes the GinaCurl Curl Reformer Different?

For starters, it was created specifically for the unique demands of textured hair. When it came to providing beauty solutions for her textured hair clients, Gina Rivera wanted it all. Something that could reduce frizz and volume, reshape the curls, and actually leave hair healthier than before...without any risk of damage to the hair.  That was a tall order. And because Gina couldn't find what she wanted on the market, she decided after decades in the industry, to create it herself!

Frequent Questions About GinaCurl

Who should NOT get a GinaCurl treatment?
You are not a candidate for the GinaCurl if you have high lift color, highlights, bleach, relaxer or a texturizer. Some smoothing treatments and amino acid treatments may be another reason for not being able to get a successful GinaCurl from roots to ends. We will determine that in your online consultation.

How long does the GinaCurl last?

The GinaCurl is permanent, so it will grow out. The majority of our clients come in every 6 months. The frequency depends upon the degree or your natural curl pattern, the rate of hair growth and how well you can work with the two textures. We can not do retouches before your 4th month.

The GinaCurl Retouch

When it comes to protecting the integrity and health of the hair, the GinaCurl technique has thought of everything. When clients comes back to the salon for a retouch, we treat the new growth only.  We use a protection cream on the previously treated hair below the line of demarcation. Because the curl reformer takes up to 1 hour to process, the previously treated hair will not have enough time to absorb the curl reformer during the rinsing.

How much does a GinaCurl Cost?

The price is determined by the length, texture, condition and previous chemical in the client’s hair.

Cost of Initial GinaCurl treatment: Our price starts at $600 with a starting length of three inches. We require a $250 deposit when you schedule your appointment. In addition, there is a $50 service fee for all Saturday appointments. We work as a team but you can request a particular stylist for your appointment or virtual consultation. An extra fee will apply. $150 fee for Gina. $75 fee for Giana.

Cost of GinaCurl Retouch: The cost of the retouch is the same as the initial treatment as you come back within 12 months and there's no chemical change to your hair. The retouch is often more difficult, more delicate and requires more time as your hair has grown, and more time and product is needed. If you come after 12 months, you'll need to submit another online consultation.  For your second retouch, you will have to submit another consultation if you continue to grow out your hair.
