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 just 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.

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 relaxers. 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!

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 beautiful 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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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 stink 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.

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

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.

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!!

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!!

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 highly 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 !

I’ve never put any chemicals in my hair, I’ve been natural my whole life! But I was looking for a way to maintain my coils while enjoying some stretch + manageability with my busy schedule, and I found/scheduled my GinaCurl the same day! It came out so beautiful, thank you Gina,and my stylist, Giana!

Dear Gina, thanks for all that you do for our community. You are truly a rare beautiful diamond in the rough and if you haven't heard it enough we love and appreciate your time and dedication you have put into making this GinaCurl. It almost brings me to tears that you took the time to study our hair and mastered the art of giving us another option that makes it longer, beautiful and still with that touch of love that makes it still look natural!! You rock and honestly deserve an Oscar of the hair awards for all that you do!!! Simply Bellissimo! Thank you Gina, can't wait to meet you! From my heart directly to yours!!!

My first GinaCurl was two days ago. I got a lot of thumbs up, positive feedback on how nice my hair looks from my co-workers. I love my Gina Curl! My hair is so soft.

PAID FOR THE GINA CURL...Yup, I splurged and got it a few months ago. So far, my HAIR LIFE and TIME is once again MY OWN y'all. I absolutely LUV it, like... LOVE IT. On wash days, from start to finish, it takes me 1 hour, and that’s it because I like to do a 15 minute pre-poo, wash, do a 15 minute deep conditioner, hop out the shower, throw some leave-in & curl cream in it, and I'm out the door to start my day, PERIOD. Long gone are the 10 hour wash days, not to mention, no more half-palm hair shedding. Girl I have PEACE, TIME, and EASE. Yeah, my pockets are a bit lighter, temporarily... BUT, I used to spend tons of $$ on crochet wigs, EXPENSIVE bundles & closures etc. Best believe I paid way MORE annually than $500+ for JUST HAIR, let alone the install and product maintenance, PLUS time to do my base hair then add time of installing the unit or protective style.

I got my first GinaCurl in June 2021 and I have been hooked ever since! I really enjoy the healthy hair salon experience and the way Gina and her entire staff make you feel like a VIP with every appointment. After going 3 times already, I look forward to going back for my 4th, 5th, and so on. My hair has retained length and as a busy mom, managing my hair has been a breeze. I am so happy I found this salon and would recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy hair option that is also professional and genuine. Thank you Gina and staff for giving me healthy and manageable hair! I'm a lifetime customer now! No one else can touch my hair.

Gina I cannot thank you enough for doing a great job with my hair- it is beautiful, silky, bouncy & healthy!!!  I get so many compliments on it, especially from men : )  I really wish I had booked an appointment sooner- I could have avoided a lot of bad hair days! You see, over the years I have tried so many different things but was always disappointed with the results-   relaxers left my hair dry & brittle; long natural hair was very time intensive (not to mention the damage caused by my curling iron addiction) and the Japanese Thermal (with a different stylist) left my hair too straight, flat & blah. But the GinaCurl was just perfect! It left my hair with soft waves & a lot of body and  I love how easy it is to care for. After I wash and condition it, I add a little mousse & coconut oil, let it dry, finger comb the waves out and that's it! No need for a curling iron or flat iron. And I no longer fear the rain.

Amazing! I have had my Gina Curl for almost 3 months. I have died it with semi-permanent dye once about 1.5 months afterwards and henna about a day ago (should have done that initially).... nothing has changed. My amount of shedding/breakage has decreased by a landslide. I also can actually see/measure growth, as my pattern is now stretched. My roots have grown out significantly, but it still blends easily with the processed hair. Overall, I am very satisfied not only with the quality of service, but the service I received. Thank you Hairs Talent, you guys are the best!!!
