BOOK WITH G

Accolades

"Gina and her team were an absolute PLEASURE to work with! Gina completely understood that I wanted to feel natural and like myself but still elevated. She understood me in a way other beauty teams I tried working with did not. I am so grateful for her; she made me feel stunning on my wedding day!"

-Z.E. 2024

I’ll always love a white wedding. Did you know there is a tradition and meaning behind bridesmaids wearing white, or close to white? That originated when the bridesmaids were intended to confuse evil spirits and lure them away from the bride on her wedding day. Still to this day it’s timeless, clean, and so beautiful!

Curly girls deserve to be embraced. It’s important for all hair types, face shapes, skin tones, and eye shapes to feel safe and heard when sitting in my chair. We shouldn’t be able to call ourselves professionals if that’s not the case, so do the work & show up for those that feel most vulnerable. How do you think her updo turned out? Her feedback is at the end…

A full weekend of work for a luxury full service bride- we planned out all her looks which consisted of rehearsal hair and makeup, full wedding day with bridal party, family, and concierge until ceremony, then again for their farewell brunch the next morning!

Mama g is tired, but so thankful to Sabrina for trusting in me with such an important weekend! 🤍

HAPPY WEDDING WEEK, SABRINA & JASON!!

I think that survival comes from making smart choices in those difficult times. You can learn a lot about a person & what they prioritize based on where they spend- Where and who they spend their time, how they spend their money, what they choose to converse about.

I’ve had to learn so much of this the hard way, but the growth on so many levels was well worth the difficulty. It’s always a choice. ALWAYS.
#selfreflections #womanbusinessowner #openminds #clearmindset #personalgrowthanddevelopment

This was a unique request & an inspo photo I surprisingly haven’t seen before! I’m pumped that we nailed this look for her using a full set of 20” clip ins by @luxyhair and blended them seamlessly! You’d never know her hair is just only past her collarbone ✨

I always love unique requests and creative challenges. After 17years in this industry, the goal is always to keep things fresh and creative. It gives me so much motivation & sense of freedom!

Effortless, abundant beauty. It’s always been a signature style of mine since my career start. Skin forward, fresh radiance with an editorial twist. This shoot fully embodied that & I can’t wait to share more.

So much of my physical body & surrounding life has been urging me to slow down lately. Be more present with my babies while they’re still babies. Quality time with who’s most important.

I’ve taken on so much in the last decade, having multiple businesses and all that comes along with it- from finances, strategies, marketing, running teams, to overseeing systems, networking, and don’t forget the full time job of social media…

I’ve always placed value in productivity, which I don’t see changing anytime soon, but managing it all with homeschooling 3 young kids, I’ve learned to set boundaries with myself, and find help where needed.

Has anyone here had help with their social media? I’d love to have a conversation surrounding & what that looked like for you. I value my time and respect others more than anything, so the goal is to find balance and peace within my own life & not feel like I need my face forced into a screen in order for my main brands to survive.

Any little bit of info sure will help a gal out! Bc who the heck wouldn’t wanna hang out with this lil chef more often?! ☺️

One of my favorite bridesmaid looks to date!! So modern and unique, yet we discussed all the small details to make sure she still felt 💯

Full set of @bfbhair 20” clip in extensions & some fun gold Amazon accessories! I also grabbed for all my fave products @keunehaircosmetics air wax, soft setter, and my 1.25” long barrel iron to build some bend and subtle texture into this look.

AI and very overly edited photos have been a common request for years, and I honestly don’t mind them, as long as the client has realistic expectations for themselves. We have pores, and texture to our skin, and that’s ok! Makeup and us as artists can only do so much, but taking care of your skin prior to our apt helps tremendously.

So when @nicalarochelle asks for any beauty services, I always jump on that opportunity, bc she really takes care of her skin, and is so beautiful before I even touch her! We always enjoy our time together & she wears any look so perfectly!

@the_greenbrier was such a fun change in scenery for this lovely wedding! Nothing like a 5am wake up, but we got creative so that I was still nourished before heading to work a longer day. Often times we don’t stop our work for the bathroom or to hydrate/eat, bc the goal is to always get finished in good timing, and no bridal party wants to start earlier than they need too. That being said, our morning prep is essential!

**Other bridal stylists, what’s something in your morning routine that you absolutely cannot skip?! Comment below, so maybe others can add it to theirs, to help us get through busy fall season a little easier! 🤍

Brianna was such a fun bride! She was a makeup only client for me, with @hairbytorr on her boho half up style.

We decided to make a few changes from her preview swapping to @armanibeauty foundation for a little more coverage with a satin finish.
& since she had gotten such a tan, we went a little bolder on her eyes with @diorbeauty shadows for a pop. Decided to go a little more pink with a cream blush and topped off with a touch of @yslbeauty powder blush & @bobbibrown highlighter.

A couple groomsmaid styles I created for today’s wedding. A fun twist look on very layered, shorter hair & the most requested hairstyle always- a soft half up. Which one would you pick to wear?

A fun editorial for @marinamarinaluxuryswim showcasing a bunch of fun looks I designed with the models in mind. I always love working with @nicalarochelle bc our creative minds just flow so well & this shoot is another example of that. Her and I go way back since she worked with Anthro so many years ago.

This shoot in the Hamptons had such a dream team in place including this queen on photos @tess.schilke & @87andsmith on video (always jaw dropped at his work).

Being given a complete style switch up on wedding day would cause a lot of stylists to complain. Maybe they didn’t allot enough time, maybe they wouldn’t have the right tools or products, maybe they weren’t mentally prepared.

While yes, that may happen depending on what’s being requested, but I believe that part of being an artist means being ingenious. Thinking on our feet, being inventive, creative, and spontaneous at times is necessary. Thankfully I feel that is a strength of mine and why it doesn’t bother me too much when these situations arise. It also shows that your client has full trust in your skillset, which this bride expressed that morning. I do wish I had some extensions to bulk out this look overall, but she was so happy!

I also LOVE when a client asks for something outside of what has been requested on repeat. To pull me out of the artistic rut that we are sometimes forced to be in is always refreshing.

They ask: Why do you only take a limited number of bookings each year?! Why do you only take a small number of services on wedding day?

The short answer- Quality. Attention to detail.

Long answer- To be truly attentive and present with each client that sits with me, reading their energy to best serve them. To effectively help my team to flourish. To work on my business rather than always in it, bc any business owner knows that work is endless. To be the best mom I can to my 3 young kids, while they’re young. I hustled young and early on to build my brands so I can be intentional now.

The difficult part about working with luxury clientele, is that they can often sign NDAs that don’t allow you to use their photos, but to the clients that do- thank you! It helps to keep my work current & show your beautiful faces that I love so much!

Time to start creating more content with my upcoming fall brides!

Who says that luxury needs to be stuffy or overly serious? There’s a time and place for that, and that’s why you’ll never see me working on wall street or in a cubical.

I wasn’t made to be subtle, and at this point in my life, I think we all could use some genuine enjoyment in life. I was way too serious about everything for the majority of my time here, and that just doesn’t feel fulfilling anymore. Especially not surrounding weddings and such a celebratory, exciting time.

Yes, I want to create, yes I want to run my businesses, but I also want to enjoy the process, rather than allowing things to suck the joy out of life & I hope you feel the same way. Hashtag Fancy made Fun ☺️

The lovely @whitneylynallen on wedding day. She will always be a memorable bride for me for many reasons.
First- her story and how much this woman has overcome through the years, yet somehow managed to turn it into a way to help others.
Second- she didn’t hesitate to place value in what I do, and who I am. That meant so much having worked with her for her book cover prior to all of this.
Third- she trusted me completely as her chosen artist & we created her dream look together.

I’ll always go above and beyond for my favorite brides- help get you in your dress? For sure. Carry your train and veil to help you get through the snow and hang in the cold during first look? Absolutely, without question. Hold your extra things to each photos location? Hell yeah… I quickly turn into your bride bestie that doesn’t care about looking nice for photos, so I don’t mind getting a little gritty.

It’s more than your average hair and makeup services, bc that’s my nature, and that’s what my brides value. 🤍

The inner sense of self- I was born with. The drive to be self made & not rely on anyone else to support my lifestyle- came from losing everything after a failed, abusive first marriage (last photo) & growing up in a very strict lifestyle religion.

I promised to myself that I would never go through that again or allow another person to control who I was, what I did, my income, how I dressed, or who I spent time with. I broke free.

I do my best to help other women do the same & feel accomplished in what they’re doing. It’s a snowball effect, especially in the beauty industry, when our main goal is to help others feel amazing.

10 years. A whole decade + 4 more years of loving you. We have been through some sh*t that would break most people, but we continue to choose each other.

I’m thankful for the balance we bring, how we encourage and support each other, and crack up with just us. I love that we never get sick of each other. I hope we continue to grow together and challenge each other. Every day, in every way. We are the richest people on the planet.
I love your cells @mike_kapusta

Luxury is in the details. Getting those details perfect takes time & I’m here for it.

Artists used to take most of their lifetime to create a masterpiece, yet most hair and makeup artists or wedding vendors overall are hurried through their work. I personally don’t feel that as artists, we should need to rush through our small masterpieces.

Should we be efficient? Yes, and I prob take a little too much time getting to know my clients during the previews, but we only want the absolute best for every bride in our chair. I’m hand crafting each custom look completely from scratch, given different versions of a canvas every single time. Perfection shouldn’t be rushed.

Summertime is always our favorite time of year when we go on beach adventures and explore new places!

This year, in between our beach trips we have a goal to build a big treehouse in our backyard & the kids will be fully involved with design, budgeting, building, and decorating!

While my babies are small, we are doing our best to keep our income more passive so we can be together as much as we can. What’s one of your favorite summer traditions with your family?

Happiest Birthday to the best Pops we could ever ask for!! We love all our adventures together & how much our babies adore you. You’ve worked yourself to the bone to make a great life for our family, and we can’t thank you enough for the sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve been my rock, so I can be theirs. We love you the most, now raise a cigar and a glass to 72 & so many more great memories together!! 🤍

I blink, and she’s 5 years in, winning an award for recital this weekend. Her 4th recital, after a year of mommy and me & every year I cry bc I’m so proud of who she is as a person.

Anyone who knows Stevie, knows how sweet and heartfelt she is. Shes often shy in public settings, but told me today that she loves being on stage. She has loved her experience with @coalescecda since her first tip toe through the tulips as an 18month little love.

Sometimes it takes “finding your people” to fully find yourself. When Kiersten applied originally to work with us years ago we weren’t hiring at the time, so I recommended to reapply a few months later bc I was in the trenches of early mom life and running the business fully by myself.

Boy am I glad she didn’t give up, bc we have both have blossomed as people since being together & I’m so thankful for her friendship. I honestly never thought I’d find a friend that loves style, fashion, creativity, and music like I always have. We may be stubborn, but we are passionate, true, and loyal as hell. Happy Birthday to another Taurus Queen!

My life and business are so much better with you in it!! 🤍 I’m so thankful to grow beside each other, raising our babies, building businesses, and having a blast doing it all!

It may have taken my whole life full of really big changes to fully find my people, but I’m so glad I finally did!!

There’s so much more that goes into being an artist & especially an entrepreneur than what’s shown. Having multiple income streams can be really exhausting in hope it pays off. Some days I wish I could just cancel everything and lay on our new hammock outside. Sometimes it looks like quality time with your kids is washing brushes. But we are choosing these hard things to show our babies that it’s possible.

Every day is a teaching opportunity and we want them to know how to work hard and work smart.

The sweetest card I’ve ever received from my 3 little tulips. I was a puddle when they gave this to me all handmade & coordinated by our lovely Ms. Laura. How did I get so lucky to have 3 of the most incredible little humans by my side? I cry every time I think about it. Time is truly flying and I hope we choose to cherish every day we are all together.

To all you incredible women- We are powerful, and gentle, and we hold all the love and life force within us. We are the most divine 🤍 Happy Mothers Day.

Even for one of my companies’ brading shoots, I still didn’t slam on a full face. Using a light coverage base & avoiding concealer, I prefer to keep my skin looking fresh and radiant, not weighed down with too many layers of product.

What is your preference of coverage & overall finish of your makeup? There are different application & setting techniques needed to keep all of the different finishes in place all day.

I’m excited for summer. I’m excited for new adventures, to create, and always eating al fresco. I’m excited for fun projects, and to watch my babies grow. This summer I hope to be more present, while still filling my countless roles and what’s expected of me, however that will look.

The warm smiles, the community built, the little thriving minds and adventures. I built my brands with the hope of being able to raise my babies myself one day. Yes, we have amazing help with our full time kids homeschooling so I can continue running said brands, but it’s the best life I could’ve asked for.

I also will stop to smell the roses any chance I get bc life is flying by & I’m so thankful for every experience.

I believe life is comprised of a million small choices we make every day & we can choose to live in a high frequency to transfer that onto others, or choose the opposite which creates a toxic space for those around us. “High vibes” is such an overused term, but unless we know the real deeper meanings of what that means, it really can be so life changing ✨

Soooo many years ago, I had to completely restart my established adult life at age 22, but I’m so glad I did. After feeling like a failure bc my first marriage didn’t work, moving back home across the country with nothing to my name and terrible credit (after I had worked since 14 to build up a responsible life…thx a$$hole ex husband) I quickly promised myself that I would never allow my future or my income to be dependent on anyone else.

Probably why it took almost a decade to combine finances with my now husband😆 I fought over the last 17years to create something not only for myself, but for others to be able to make an income creating. In the beginning of my career, before IG even existed, it wasn’t easy to make a living in an open artistic field- especially as a freelancer.

I’m so thrilled to be able to help support women in their creative path to income, and feeling valued and fulfilled by what they do. What we do as a career is a continual pattern of inflicting beauty, confidence, and great energy onto others while they’re receiving our services. & that’s just so damn cool.

A throwback to the Hamptons from this time last year for a @marinamarinaluxuryswim campaign. @tess.schilke @87andsmith on these incredible visuals, @nicalarochelle on art direction & myself (+ assistant) on all things beauty.

These models were gems and this entire collab landed us a feature in @brides magazine. I’d happily roll a round 2 for this entire shoot bc we all worked so well together. For any bride looking to find the perfect luxury swim wear for your wedding festivities and beyond- look no further.
