Meet the Stylists
Gina Barnes
“When a client leaves my chair I want the expression on her face to say, “I’m special and I am confident.” The added bonus for me is the smile the diva wears as she walks out the salon back into the world.
Gina Barnes has been a hair stylist for over twenty five years and hasn’t missed a beat yet. She began doing hair as a little girl with her dolls; little did she know that one of her childhood pastimes would turn into a luxurious career in the beauty industry. Gina credits her ability to stay focus to her family with a strong background in entrepreneurship, education, and cosmetology. Celeste Jones, her high school cosmetology instructor first saw the blossoming gift for hair styling in her along with her old school mentors that taught her the tools of the trade. She also says the reason she has stayed in the beauty industry for so long is because of her passion for the business and a wonderful clientele she has been blessed with over these years.
