A women's haircut should suit your hair, your face and how much time you actually spend on it in the morning — not a photo of someone whose hair behaves nothing like yours.
A cut built around your hair, not a trend
The best haircut is the one you can recreate yourself. Gina cuts to your hair's natural texture, growth pattern and density, and to how much effort you realistically want to put in — because a shape that only looks right when a stylist blow-dries it is a shape that lets you down on a Tuesday. Bring a photo if you have one, and she'll tell you honestly what will translate to your hair and what won't.
What's included
- Consultation. A few minutes to understand your hair, your routine and what you're actually asking for.
- Shampoo and cut. Cut to your texture and face shape, whether that's a trim, a restyle or a full change of length.
- Blow-dry and finish. Styled so you can see how it moves — and so you know how to get there at home.
Long hair, short hair, and everything between
Layered cuts for movement, blunt cuts for weight and shine, long-layer shapes that keep length but lose bulk, bobs, lobs, pixies and grown-out styles that need reshaping. If your hair has been cut into a shape that fights you, that's often the most satisfying thing to fix.
Fine hair and thick hair are different problems
Fine hair needs cutting that builds the impression of density rather than removing it — the wrong layers can leave it looking thinner. Thick or coarse hair usually needs weight removed so it sits rather than expands. Forty years behind the chair is mostly this: knowing which problem you have and cutting for it.
A cut is priced on length and what's involved — a trim and a full restyle aren't the same appointment. You'll know the price before anything starts. Call (903) 944-0863 and describe your hair.
Cut and colour in one visit
Plenty of people book a cut alongside colour, highlights or balayage. If you're doing both, mention it when you call so the right amount of time is set aside — a rushed colour is never worth it.
Grey blending, not just grey covering
Growing grey out gracefully is a cut-and-colour question as much as a colour one. If you'd rather blend the grey than fight it, Gina can shape the cut to work with it — see the colour page for how the two work together.
Before your appointment
- Bring photos of cuts you like — and, if you have them, cuts you've hated. Both tell Gina something.
- Be honest about your morning routine. A cut you won't maintain is a cut that stops looking good in three weeks.
- Say if you're growing something out. A good cut can make the awkward phase far less awkward.
