Gina Rivera has been a hairstylist for 34 years and the owner of Hair’s Talent Salon for 26 years.  She has a true passion for hair care, especially African-American hair.  She believes that African-American women would embrace their fine textured hair if they knew how to maintain its health through proper moisturizing and scalp cleansing. She is determined to let everyone know that all African-American hair is “good hair” and that there is an alternative to getting weaves, wearing wigs, and using harsh chemical relaxers.  There is a way for all African-American women to grow long, healthy hair.  Gina has come up with a technique specially designed for African-American textured hair.  For the past 6 years, clients have flown and/or driven in from the Caribbean Islands, France, Greece, California, Virginia, Washington, Las Vegas, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and all over Connecticut to Hair’s Talent to receive Gina’s special technique for African-American textured hair. 

What are her secrets?

Hair’s Talent does not do weaves and extensions, use bleach on relaxed hair, use heavy gels, use grease, or use cholesterol to condition African-American hair. Gina and her Hair’s Talent staff give the perfect cuts, technical relaxers, and use the Japanese Straightening/ Thermal Reconditioning. For the past three years, Gina has been using the Japanese Straightening/ Thermal Reconditioning on her African-American clients.  The Japanese Straightening/ Thermal Reconditioning is normally touched up every 6 months or clients can choose to get a hairline touch up every three months.  It takes at least 2-3 treatments before the Japanese Straightening/ Thermal Reconditioning is at its successful peak when used to grow out a relaxer that caused damaged and breakage to African-American hair. The Japanese Straightening/ Thermal Reconditioning does not cause breakage, but leaves clients with long, healthy, and shiny hair. Clients who are not growing out a relaxer will see results immediately with the first treatment. Every African-American client who has received the the Japanese Straightening/ Thermal Reconditioning is 100% satisfied with the results, especially the non-breakage of hair and the speed at which the healthy hair grows. Hair’s Talent has another successful procedure for growing out a relaxer—a Gina Curl.  The Gina Curl is a wonderful tool to grow out your relaxed hair.  Clients choose to either keep the Gina Curl or wear their own natural curl.
