About Us
Gina
Originally from Long Island, New York...moved to Columbus in 1981 after an 8 year stay in Miami beach and a few minutes in Atlanta, Ga (long story) ... and has loved Ohio ever since. Unlike the other girls....she didn't go to barber college right out of high school...she screwed around awhile trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life before finally enrolling at the Ohio State Barber College in 1982...and starting cutting hair at her first shop across the street from OSU in 1983.
Gina specializes in men's hair, in fact that's all she does....that's all she wants to do...haircuts, straight razor barber shop shaves, beard trims...she does it all. Music is her genre...she doesn't cut hair unless the music is playing LOUD. Her favorite music includes The White Stripes, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Tegan and Sarah, the Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, NIN, Kings of Leon, Johnny Cash AND The Rolling Stones. She's having a secret love affair with Keith Richards that no one knows about yet! Gina is the president of the left-handed blue-eyed club!

Susie
is originally from the south side of Columbus...she's the most hyper one of the bunch and for that we are all thankful! She's the one you can always count on in a pinch...all you gotta do is call her name and she comes running to help....all 110 pounds of her!! Susie went to barber school in 1980...her brother was a hair stylist as well...and got her first gig at the Worthington Square Barber Shop. She worked there for 5 years before going to Desantis Hair Styling downtown, where she lasted 14 years...(can we please get her to stay here that long??) and came looking for a job at Gina's in the summer of 2002. Susie's got 2 great kids...everyone loves her and she loves everyone...she's a team player. She's great doing all kinds of hair...but she specializes in curly hair, men's tapers, and she LOVES doing perms. Her musical tastes are extreme....Marvin Gaye AND the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I quit trying to figure Susie out a long time ago!
Hilary
She's originally from Dublin, Ohio but she lived in Chicago as well and actually finished high school in Chicago as well as cosmetology school. She graduated from cos school (Pivot Point) in 1998, then moved back to Columbus and got a job at Kenneth's Hair Salon where she worked for 4 years. Not feeling quite fulfilled at Kenneth's she left there and spent the next 2 years trying to find a good fit...she heard that Gina's was hiring and applied for the job... already knowing Grace and Tracey since they all worked together at Kenneth's. Hilary's been part of our team since the fall of 2004. She excels in all hair services...but her favorites are doing color and any kind of haircut that involves a big change for her client! She's a classic rock fan through and through.
Christine
Christine, another former Kenneth's stylist, heard from John how great it is here and decided, after spending the last six months as a stay-at-home mom, to join our team. Music wise, she likes pretty much everything, although we think there may be a rock-n-roll girl hiding in there! Christine really likes and is talented in short cuts on both men and women; she also enjoys doing highlights!

Molly

She attended all of Columbus's finest alternative schools and is the proud single mother of two children Molly was also one of Kenneth's finest! She was a receptionist there for several years before delving into the banking industry, where she worked the last 6 years until becoming the newest front desk person at Gina's!
Beth
Beth was born and raised in Columbus. She went to Nationwide Beauty Academy right out of high school. From there, she worked for Kenneth's Hair Salon for 4 1/2 years until deciding to move on. After working for a few different places and not finding a place to settle, she found Gina's. Beth can do a wide variety of men's and women's cuts, including updo styles,but her true love is color....anything from practical to funky and far out.
Her musical interests are everything from folk & alternative to metal, but will always have a special place in her heart for No Doubt!
