I have been behind the chair for more than 25 years and come from a family in the industry since 1929. As a hairstylist, we hear all the juicy stories of our clients lives and their secrets. But it is more than that. I've always loved that I can create a place for my clients to feel like they leave different, better. It's a safe place. It's where you go to feel fresh and new. I want this podcast to feel like you are in that chair. A place where you let your hair down and laugh, cry, and everything in between. A place where you leave better than you were before. Get ready to turn heads, with me, Gina Rivera.
