WarPaint International Artisan of the Year 2024!
Gina - Hair Artisan
What makes your artistry unique?: My artistry is unique because I do my very best to listen to the guest and to deliver what fits their specific needs for that day. Also, I personalize the style to be the most flattering to showcase their hair and natural beauty in the best light.
What inspires you? Not only do I get to create art, but I ALSO get the pleasure of helping someone to look and feel amazing on their important day!!! Discovering your true passion really sets your “ soul on fire “ !! I love what I do and I never feel that I am working. I highly suggest that you find what “drives” you every day too.
Style Icon: My style icons are Jennifer Aniston, Kate Winslet, and Reese Witherspoon. They embody classic, yet comfortable and relatable fashion. Their hair, especially, shows off their best features in a simplistic and chic way.
Hobbies & Interests: In my free time I enjoy listening to music, watching anything that is a documentary on the HISTORY channel or A&E, I love to be outside any chance I get while gardening or going for a walk, and most of all I love enjoying the company of my kids or friends when it works out with everyone’s schedules. Time is so precious and not to be wasted.
WPI Artisan Since: June 2022
Specialty: I would have to say my specialty style is what I call “controlled chaos” : loose and natural style, with a touch of elegance to fit the guest perfectly for any occasion!! I love creating art with hair regarding traditional, classic styles to boho & natural.
