I did my own research with the Jheri curl, wave nouveau and Japanese straighten treatment. I did my own experiment so more to come :D. Gina basically used a portion of the Japanese style, but the perm version. I see she uses some of the Milbon products. They have the products that will break the bonds of your hair and you can tailor the strength of the chemical by putting in another formula to dilute the strength. Gina does just that. She tailors the strength of the chemical for different textures and health of your hair. So she could be using different strengths throughout your hair to ensure the health of your hair. All the perm products are using the Ammonium Thioglycolate to get the job done. With her technique she applies the chemical first and the perm rods after. Also when she does the retouches she applies a protection cream to all the processed hair and she puts the chemical on the new growth thus protecting the previous processed hair. I can see she is giving a lot of care to the hair because it is a chemical process. She is applying the best technique to ensure the health of the hair which results in less breakage and promotes hair retention. I am not mad at that, but for me I just can’t get past the processes of straighten the hair (breaking the bonds of the hair) then forming completely new curls. Well I got curious and did some experiments of my own with the Ammonium Thioglycolate chemical. Why make new curls when you can enhance your own curls. That means no perm rods needed and only applying the chemical to your hair once. That cuts the whole process down. Call me a dare devil, but I did it. I am in the process of documenting results and I will see how it goes. Same chemical just different technique.
You go girl👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. And if it works--please market it. I would rather support a black owned business, b/c in most instances black owned businesses sow back into HBCUs and black causes/programs and schools. This lady probably is not doing that. She just wants to try to pimp the natural hair community. I’m tired of everyone trying to pimp us (BW). One of the many reasons why I went natural in the 1st place. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing how your process works. 👍🏾
Thank you Venus for this very detailed explanations for ignorant people like myself. I think taking the time to nail perfectly the technic (by mixing by blending a few technics) and tailoring the strength/intensity of the chemicals is exactly what we pay for in other industries (body/mind related). Will you post your experimentations somewhere? Do you have a blog or a Google Drive where you save all your testings? In case you might be interested, those 2 articles helps understand chemicals www.hairfinder.com/info/permanent-waves.htm and www.hairfinder.com/info/permingprocess.htm
@@artiswilkins306 I sure will let you know. I am just excited in the learning process and just wanting to have something to make the day to day process of doing our hair not as time consuming as well as not having to spend a lot of money in the process.
I love you beauties but this is so wrong. I’ve been doing hair for 14 years and I use to do Jerri curls in coming school every week for my clients and for years after that. It’s a Modern day Jerri curl I’ve seen it done. I’m into product formulation, I’m a Cosmetologist , Trichologist and Herbalist. She breaks the bonds with a cream then she uses perm rods to set. When you asked her the difference she talked about the application not the product. The product is exactly the same with minor edits so she won’t get sued and the “technique “ she uses is one we’ve been using for years with no overlapping. Come on. I’m sure she’s a nice lady but we can’t spread this. It’s a slap on the face to the woman who came before us. This is crazy.
Hey pretty! How in the world did we miss this? Anyways, Noted & Thanks for the comment. We appreciate it coming from an informed and respectful place. Keep up the good work. Your channel is awesome💗
But it could be done. She is getting rich off of lazy hair dressers and gullible black women who don’t know what to do with their 💵. Let me put some💩in a bottle say it’s for black hair care and make bazillions of $$$$$. 😱😱😱we will buy anything instead of demanding that hairdressers do a better job with our hair. 😱😱😱😱. But y’all do y’all. I’ll keep my money thanks.
Ginger Snaps---Exactly. I’ll keep my 💵 thanks. Once you learn your hair and it’s porosity--the game gets changed and wash days and detangling is not bad. 🤷🏾♀️--y’all do you✌🏾
@@artiswilkins306 FACTS! I’m a licensed stylist. It’s the same process she just marked this up and changed her maintenance regimen. My mom has been I. The game for almost 30 years. She’s capitalizing off us
Lady Please that's a Jheri Curl! Lol Jk.. The proper Term for this service is called Chemical Texturizing... Non black people call it a Perm. This Gina curl, Jheri Curl, or Perm is all the same chemicals. Nothing New.The steps and brands are just different. @ 5:00 She says its the same chemical..
I love her already, it's crazy that people would judge her for trying to improve how black hair is handled. There are black hairdressers destroying their client's hair.
It is just a curl....no matter what you say....she did not invent that procedure....Jheri , and all the others grew folks hair also....back in the day others were trying to come up with different Jheri curls and the reactions were pretty much the same...and so yeah essentially just a curl....personally I like curls because it does somehow keep the hair in shape and if you take care of your hair you will have a whole lot of it...hair that is......
Lol 😆 WOW, Black people are Soooo forgiving and accepting 🤦🏽♀️ Is it really an IMPROVEMENT if she's ALTERING your hair and charging you an ARM & A LEG instead of RETAINING your natural hair length and making sure that's STRONG & HEATHY 🤔🤷🏽♀️
Exactly one summer as a kid I spent time with my dad. He took me to a stylist to get my hair done the 1st summer the black lady styled it fine but SHE CUT SO MUCH off. My mom was upset. The next summer he took me to another stylist. A white lady and she did a touch up (relaxer) and everything my hair never broke off later and she trimmed it but my hair was pretty much the same length. It depends on them as individuals.
This wasn’t a good interview. You guys did not challenge her or ask real questions. This was needed because their is a controversy behind her. Black women are her target audience. This conversation is bigger than just going to a white hairstylist
It was informative for me about the process and the difference between her Gina curl and other curly perms. No, they didn’t grill her but I don’t think that was the point.
She should've known some of us were gonna give her some kick back. I mean if the tables were turned most of us know a black woman couldn't just come in doing white women's hair without a few naysayers or negativity. It is what it is!!!..... She SHOULD'VE known most of us are iffy about who does our hair. I don't see nothing wrong with questioning her abilities. You SHOULD question everybody and everything anyway.🤷🏾♀️
ruclips.net/video/5NiTaE7cbH4/видео.html License Style this will be out come, it an other name for Gheri Curl and Cold Waves Perm < this lady is getting paid because your ladies does not understand. Gheri Curl and all form wave nouveau curls, care free curl , there are some out there is much healthy when done correct and will grow hair the same speed . Texturizing Curl
Not judging you Gina, I’ve had both jheri and wave and this is still the SAME. She’s just not processing the ends only new growth. It’s the same chemicals. Not convinced, bye.
@@twolala1 I encourage you to conduct additional research and maybe watch videos from different hair salons that practice these styles. Gina is nice on the video, but she is not the creator of this technique. Be blessed, stay safe.
@@MsDy-vv8jo Yes of course we are always researching stuff. However, Gina knows she wasn't the originator of curly perms, jheri curl, etc. and she never said she was. Alot fo these salons that do these similar styles, she's been doing them..waayy back in the 70s if you watched the video. She took what was already there, saw where it could be improved and made it her own. We're in 2020, nothing is original. 99.9% of what you think is a original idea has probably been done before. .
This is the SAME thing. Gina admits that the chemicals are they same. ANY trained stylist knows you only retouch the new growth, even for a wave nouveau. More importantly, in 2020 no one should be paying more than $250 for this style. Gina is charging 3x this, sometimes more! Again, she already admitted that the chemicals are not different, so why the 300% increase in price. I cannot stress enough that this is the SAME DAMN THING. Also, did y’all peep how she’s gonna package a conditioner and styling product, but NOT the Ginacurl. And, you know why, because it’s the SAME DAMN THING as what has been out for years and she will get hit with copyright issues. It’s the same, period.
I hear it takes eight hours for the GC. On what planet will you sit all day in a stylist’s chair & pay $250? When you pay for a service, you’re compensating the person for their TIME as well as for their product, skills, & expertise. Also, if sistahs could buy black, get the EXACT same service as the GC, & pay less, wouldn’t they do that?
@@simplybri3608 - You’re basically calling black women fools - as if black women aren’t making informed decisions on how to spend their own money but instead are allowing themselves to be bamboozled.
She said the chemical is the same, not the formula. However I do believe she’s overcharging. Still, it’s her business and obviously her clients can afford it. I won’t be getting this done though
Soooo, same chemical different technique.... who are you trying to convince sis? It’s a non juicy Jheri curl... not knocking the process cause people can do what they want with their hair but if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck it’s a DAMN DUCK! Hair length can be retained without any chemical. But Get your coin Gina!
Something that you said absolutely hit the nail on the head, that the natural community can be so fickle - we complain about not having non-black hairstylists to do our hair, but here is someone who obviously enjoys and appreciates black hair and is doing a service that black people actually want. After hearing her tell her story, I don't have reservations. Like she's not brainwashing people to hate themselves, she saw a problem and offered a solution. She has my respect for sure. I'm not sure if I would get this because I like hair versatility, and switching it up whether braids, flat iron, braid outs etc. However, I respect any woman (or man or non-binary person) who would want this for whatever reason.
She admitted it’s similar to a jheri curl and that it is a chemical, not a natural process. It’s only “more meticulous “, meaning they pay attention to the new growth.
I just recently found out about Gina Curl. I’m still doing my research and have been reading the comments below. Confused about why some people are upset regarding the price?!!! Let’s do a breakdown: First time clients: Approx $600 - (8 hrs in the chair) - $75 hr. You return 6 months later for a retouch (A benefit for out of State clients) Which means you technically only spent $100 a month if you were going to a local salon. Point Blank her prices are very fair. In the grand scheme of things, women have spent more on bundles and sew-ins for less hours in a chair. I would love to try Gina Curl and wish her business great success. Please let us know if you return to NC.
From testimonials and dming the girls personally the avg. no less than $800 for kinky shoulder length when stretched hair. There’s a girl on RUclips who was $950 as a first time AND each retouch is that price. That’s without travel coming from out of state, some people even fly from Europe to see her. Regular relaxers and jheri curls don’t cost this much and her chemicals are almost identical. She’s just learnt how to nurture hair and she’s the goat at marketing hence why she’s even on the is channel. Good weaves you can reuse you will always have the tracks $1000 raw virgin hair will last you 2 years minimum. Good install in England anyway no more than £50. If you wanna talk value for money. Weaves win every time, box braids win every damn time. By your logic box braids should cost $450+ for the amount of time it takes and how long they last. She doesn’t do every single person herself she still outsources and is able to see very many clients. Not like your local salon. She’s a lovely lovely lady but definitely greedy with the pricing. I don’t blame her. There’s people silly enough to spend that on their hair but not towards things that will last and make them comfortable in old age. You can’t afford something unless you could buy it comfortably it if it costed 3x the amount. And most of those girls really struggle you can tell by how long they leave between retouches. They’re looking raggedy by the 4th month. Just look at the IG page of those revisiting. If you fall into the category of genuinely being able to afford it without sacrifice and saving up for it and taking money away from something that will build your portfolio go for it. The results are mostly amazing. Fantastic. Clients are genuinely happy but the pricing is appalling!
I got the Gina curl in November 2019 and was highly disappointed. I had been natural for 5 years and had never dyed my hair. The curl didn't take to all of my hair so 5 inches of my hair had to be cut out. She makes you sign paperwork so that you don't sue her. It cost me over $800 plus an extra service fee that wasn't told until I arrived to my appoint. The results vary by person! Another woman whose hair was so heat damaged that her hair didn't curl when we but had better results. I was pissed. The aftercare sucks once your hair growths out because of the two different textures. When wet the processed portion of my hair feels damaged, porous and sticks to other hair strands easily. It gets tangled. By the way Gina does not services all clients herself. She has assistants who process some of the clients. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ASK PEOPLE WHO HAS ACTUALLY HAD THE SERVICE. I could say so much more but don't feel like typing anymore.
Hi Idara, Please give the salon a call I would love to know the extra fee that was charged to you. There are only two extra fees that we charge and we explain them both in our quote email that is sent to you with all the information about your day. We add a $50 late fee if you arrive after 30 minutes and another $50 for every other 30 minutes that you are late. We also explain in the email that we charge a $50 fee if you come in with your hair knotted, tangled or dreaded. We ask in that response email for your hair to be tangled free with a few twists or braids before coming to the salon. The cost covers the time that we will be put behind combing out your hair. Also, in that letter you are told that we work as a team. It is true unless you ask for Gina and pay the extra fee for Gina alone all the stylist work on you one point or another. ( The extra $100 fee is for changing up our schedule for you). I'm curious about your curls not taken. The only reason why your ends would not have curled would be because you had previous chemical in your hair and you opposed to cutting your hair before the process. Did 5 inches of your hair not curl the day you were in the salon or did this happen over time at home. Either way if it happened in the salon then we would have done your hair over that day or we would have scheduled for you to come back to get a redo if the case was that you were completely natural which confuses me because that would never happen.. If it happen after and you called us we would have made sure to do everything we can before having to cut your hair. Now if you had previous chemical in your hair like a smoothing treatment keratin, amino acid smoothing, relaxer, texlax and you didn't tell us that's another story. If you told us we would have told you that you will have to cut off the chemical treated hair before getting a Successful GinaCurl and you might have opposed to that, We are very sorry you were dissatisfied. Please give the salon a call and ask to speak to Gina.
The fact is the only reason Black women are paying those prices is BECAUSE she is deceiving them. Otherwise, almost no one would go to her and she knows it. It doesn't matter that she is White or using an old product and process per se. The main issue that people have(as do I) is that the price is excessive and exploitative for what is an old school, inexpensive chemical treatment used by Black shops for years-PLUS she IS trying to claim that what she is doing is unique(her words) and not properly giving credit and attributing the source. She admitted that is the same chemical, and as for the application, there are others who don't double process and avoid overlapping. I rarely use the term, but this is the definition of cultural appropriation. She's actually been doing this for more than 20 years. I used to live in CT back then and had a friend who was Black but used to do her own thio box perms at home and didn't know where to go to get it done professionally. I did some research and found this lady. From what I remember, there was no special name for this service, nor was it particularly popular then. Her salon did a wide variety of hair types though back then, there weren't many Black people getting their hair done there (not many in CT anyway). She charged far less for it then(what the price of a normal curly perm would be). She also did Japanese hair straightening (pretty much another thio). Her service was simply a thio curly perm, kind of a combo between a regular White curly perm and a Jheri curl/Wave Nouveau. I was shocked to see the price now, what her claims are, and also that no one figured this out. The aftercare is not revolutionary and is basic. Her argument about how she came up with the price is not logical as well. I would have more respect for her if she said what it is, that she is doing an old school thio perm and not a revolutionary new service (which it isn't) and that she charges such high prices because she wants to make as much money as she can. It would still be unethical though because of the deception.
So is she using a small independent lab to formulate her products? I'm confused I heard her mention a chemical safety sheet. So is she making the chemical mixture fresh in the back? Is it fda approved? I don't care what color a stylist is im concerned about skill safety and price.
It might be that she combining two different techniques of relaxing. So maybe her mix of the cream is different. She probably wants to grow the brand to other salons. You need a lot of research to prove your claims for that. Plus she adding her own line of products
I work in the medical field and Im familiar with hearing the term "material Data sheet". So basically this is a form that must be displayed in any building that houses a chemical whether it be a medical facility, salon, retail store that sells chemicals etc. As far as her using a lab. She sounds like she eluded to that she may have divised the product either in her home or a clean location. Once she comes up with the product ofcourse she would then have to contract with a lab facility to do final chemical testing ( per government safety laws) and to produce and package the product in mass to salons or retail ( whereever she decides to sell it). She didn't say all of that but Im just breaking it down for clarity. Lets say you bake great biscuits. You might test several receipts at home until you get the best result. Then you find a test kitchen and company to help you perfect the receipts then package the biscuit mix for mass store sales or restaurants use.
@@twolala1 , You're SURE 👌🏽 and EXACTLY How can you be so SURE 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ OMG ALL CHEMICALS ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS are you SERIOUS or you just WANT 2STAY BLIND & OBLIVIOUS 🤔🤦🏽♀️
@@mistyjones4816 She is doing that, because I mentioned in a video where one of the reviews said, it made her hair fall out. When it comes to buisness they will never tell people the truth of the negative effects, so asking her instead of the women who literally got it done is like banging your head up against a wall. They have girl on here whose hair is so stringy by using the Gina curl, the girl is usually wearing wigs most of the time.
It really is a very overpriced Jheri curl! I had a Jheri curl for years and it’s gives the same results and grows your hair. Why is something that was 50 Now is 600! You heard her say she used the Jheri technique 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@@gabe6959 yeah, some people got a messed up way of thinking. No matter what we choose to do with our hair, there will always be negative comments. Idk why people r so obsessed with our hair and what we do with it 🤷🏽. I am all natural but that doesn't mean that I have the right to judge the next blk woman for wanting what she wants.
The Japanese straightening chemical which is a thio or perm is stronger then a relaxers produced for black hair. This is because Japanese hair is stronger. It is more difficult to breakdown. Afro hair is more delicate. This is especially true due to the fact that many of us have high porosity hair. Therefor the cortex lifts more easily and chemical enters which can lead to breakage. Her technique may be better, but that chemical is more corrosive to Afro hair. Hello ladies you are not suspose to apply relaxer to the ends either. It a licensed cosmetologist did that they need to go to someone else. A wave nouveau doing the same application technique would cost $110.00.
Honestly, this is a very innovative idea! I appreciate Gina’s willingness to learn how to do black hair throughout the years. Black people are always complaining about white stylists not being versatile, but Gina is doing it. And let’s not forget there black stylists out here messing up people’s hair just as much. The Gina curl isn’t something that I would consider, but I still support it😊
Innovative? 😂 This is what your parents and grandparents were getting in the 70's and 80's for $50. She is manipulating black women into thinking they are getting something new. It is not...
high pitch... ''the chemical is the same (pause) I mean it's better, the process is different".... if it's the same chemical, it's the same ma'am. does she have a patent for this product? That can go a long way in proving that these two are different
Gina destroyed my hair. My virgin hair was down to my waist when I went to her then after 2 years there was much damage I ended up cutting it to shoulder length. And then years after I went on her ig and saw she posted my before photo as the “after” and said her products “retain length”. Scam
Great interview! She knows her stuff and the best thing is, she loves what she does, loves black hair textures, and loves/ is dedicated to making black women look great.
She's sweet but I know hair dressers that were doing the same process in the 90's I don't buy that it is not the same process. History repeats itself with style and trends and also so. This is not a new process.
My auntie was a beautician and she applied the curl corrector cream first, rinsed, curl rod it, applied curl curl setter, put us under dryer, rinsed, took rods out, apply moisturizer/lotion. That was in the 80’ and 90s. She never applied cream while the rods were placed. Gina ain’t doing any different technique! If so, then her technique should be called the Jean Curl!!!!
I am a Afro Brasilian American it is tricky. Some girls have it via Afro permanente and some naturally have that texture. Either way cabela negra (no matter what texture )e muito bonita
This is literally just a Jerry Curl with a very very slightly altered “technique”. Im not knocking it AT al because the work is beautiful. But lets not get confused lol. And this is a perm with an added curl chemical.
People are just looking for a reason to be mad. Give credit where credit's due. All her clients have nothing bad to say about Gina Curl and there's a reason they're going to her. As long as you're offering a high quality product or service, you should be able to charge whatever you feel is right! If you cant afford it, then don't get it. There'll always be people who see the value in it and are willing to pay the price that it goes by.
I don’t have any problem with Gina or her prices (since this process seems to take 8 hours or more). It just saddens me a bit that women who took the time to grow out their natural hair are putting chemicals back into it in order to imitate a looser curl pattern. I feel like the natural hair community’s obsession with curl definition and emphasis on 3b-4a curls has gotten into the heads of some of our 4b/c sisters and caused them to think there is something wrong with their beautiful hair. Don’t get me wrong, if the Gina Curl makes them happy, I’m happy for them. It just makes me a little sad and disappointed is all.
In some cases, that could be it, but maybe they just can't or don't have time to manage a tighter curl. Alot of women are great at maintaining their 4b/c hair, and some just aren't. I don't think it's them thinking that their hair isn't beautiful, they probably aren't able to take care of it the way they should, so the Gina Curl is an option they have. My hair when it was natural was beautiful, but I can maintain my hair better when relaxed and I love it relaxed as well. I see what you're saying , but just wanted to give another perspective :)
As a woman with 4C, DENSE, low porosity, full shrinkage hair. I don't have the energy to spend 1-3 days attempting to achieve the style I want and don't like applying lots of heat either, making sure my braids & twists are thoroughly dried before I remove them and PRAY that my style comes out as intended. I can't continuously handle my fast-growing, full natural fro being out, catching dust and burrs from God knows where, bc any hint of moisture in the air, even at 0% humidity, will frizz and matte up in a heartbeat. Not even gonna start with the qualms about fairy knots. 1 day, 1 roundtrip flight (using Airfordable, so it's NOT 1 big payment), 1 hotel stay/AirBnb or find a friend, 1 payment, and 1 purchase of hair products to save me time/stress for the remainder of the 364days of the year. I see no issue there.
My mom used to do Jheri curls, but in the last 15 years, she started applying the neutralizer only. The curl is not wet and looks so natural. It is beautiful and helps the hair grow so long. Most people who do Jheri curls would understand this, but we can reasonably say it is the same products - just different steps. Jheri curls were over $100 when people did them in their house in the 80’s, so it’s not surprising that it costs a lot. It reminds me of a Leisure Curl. Basically, Jheri curl is to Gina curl as Relaxer is to Telaxer 🤷🏾♀️
I couldn’t care less about what color she is. The fact that she cares enough about our hair to do what we want to it in a healthier fashion says EVERYTHING. Also, I appreciate what she’s doing, but not all of us have that type of money. I’m a college student and to pay over $950 to travel and get my hair done is actually ridiculous
I don't think so!! Why would she sell the product?? Why you playin? $600 short hair goes up because it grows. Really?? Gina is laughin all the way to the bank. Ask her how much it cost to make her Gina product. Girls ask yourselves if someone in your neighborhood told you that they were going to use the same chemical and different process but the price is going up because this is going to grow your hair, not a $100 but hundreds of dollars your answer would be?? I thought so. She explains it like she is doing you all a favor. You live and you learn. And I take offense at I love her already, and then you proceeded to degrade the black hairdressers. You can love her but why was it important to add the last line?? Just so you know I'm not a hairdresser and the pictures of the hair look nice. I just don't like us being the brunt of the joke.
Cynthia Boston when did we degrade black hair dressers??? If you watch our channel ,you know that’s something we never do. You’re reading wayyy too much into it and trying to spin things negatively lol
A jheri curl, a carefree curl, a wave nouveau it all grows your hair because its the moisture that is used to maintain the service that prompt growth. I believe it is ALL HYPE!!!! I don't care what color your are if its a dressed up jheri curl that's what it is. I feel that she is adding unnecessary time to make the clients feels she doing things that is so significant to their hair when its just really isn't. Everybody could grow hair with a jheri curl back in the day. The service never broke anyone hair off if done properly and care for the same. You couldn't use heat on the jheri curl either, it would cause damage. The same holds true for the Gina Curl. The New Era came out with a gel reversal kit for the curl to transform it into a straight style with minimal shedding. Gina growing out the twins hair isn't magic to me its more gimmick when they hair would have grown with the same chemical anyway.
@@twolala1 Thanks, you I stand to be corrected. I thought that I read in the comments that she grew you all hair out. Thought I missed it in the video.... 😉
I have a question about hair maintenance with the Gina Curl that I haven't seen addressed yet. I've tried reading through the comments for an answer, but the negativity is startling to me and I'm becoming despondent by our community, so I can't imagine what it is like for @TwoLaLa and Gina. I get skepticism, but the personal attacks are unfortunate. Based on the first video, there was a statement about not being able to braid hair etc. My question is once you have the Gina Curl, can you do styles such as twist outs, cornrows, braids, larger perm rod sets, blowouts etc.? Although the hair is curly, these styles can provide refreshing versatility or add more dimension to curly hairstyles, which is an advantage to having naturally curly/coily hair.
Im sorry but I do think that she is capitalizing on something that already exists and she shouldn’t charge so much, she even said it herself it’s the same product but different technique. And I believe that other hairstylist are well equipped to do this! My problem is not the fact that she’s white is the fact that she’s using something that already exists, but ppl want to hear otherwise and just believe in this...ummm and also they do the exact same thing in Brazil 🇧🇷 for decades and it cost wayyyyyyy lessss I mean like the sameeeee. Talk to y’all Brazilian friends they’ll tell you don’t just jump on this right away
But right now she is the Only one in the states doing this technique the proper way. I see plenty of RUclips's of ladies going to get a curly perm, wave nuveau etc and hair falls out after 2 months. Gina uses proper technique while applying chemicals so she deserves that money she is stacking up. I used to get relaxers and my hair was so Damaged until I met this ONE stylist that grew my hair out way down my back with proper technique of applying relaxers. Not only my hair but everyone that sat in her seat. She is highly successful, she has relocated miles away from me and now I do my own hair. Don't trust anyone else. A stylist that knows proper techniques for Everything and uses the creme of the crop products, IS EVERYTHING TO ME and I would pay TOP DOLLAR.
Please explain the steps in doing both services. We would love to hear the comparison. Also, please give us a break down of the products that are used for each service to also compare the comparison of products used. Thank you
My hair had been natural for 15 years, the only chemical I had was a rinse. For some strange odd reason I wanted a jheri curl, my stylist convinced me to get a wave nouveau, she said people don't do jheri curls anymore. Sorry to say my hair came out by the handfuls, an entire lock of my hair came out and my beautiful hair is a hot mess now. I don't blame my stylist, I think it was the product. I wish I had know about the Gina curl before I got the wave nouveau, because I would have invested in that instead. Now I have to do a big chop and start all over again.
Same thing happened to my grandmother it took handfuls of her hair out and she had luscious thick hair. But the wave nouveau took it all out she had to go super short
Very sad world indeed. We complain about every darn thing. Seems like we deliberately search for things to complain about unnecessarily. I'm ready for my Gina Curl. You girls did a great job. Thank you.
Tashnah TV, OF COURSE people should get their hair done anyway they choose however let's NOT act like it's NOT A JHERI CURL being applied for up to 1,000 dollars using a so called different new technique 😆🤣😭🤦🏽♀️

The simple fact that I get different letters by changing absolutely nothing structurally about these letters and still get different letters if I turn them upside down then I have to call them different names. Maybe you call this (d) an upside down 'q' but to everyone I know it's the letter 'd.' Just the inversion makes them different. I'm not sure about your Jheri curl knowledge but I could never stand a Jheri curl in my hair for the simple fact that it has to be maintained wet. It's the only reason I wouldn't get one... well, and I don't know if it burns or if my hair would break off... so, three reasons. Not sure why you're referring to her technique as "so called" but you're right... "people should get their hair done anyway they choose," they should also pay whatever price they choose to get the "so called" technique they choose, if they believe it will make a positive difference in their lives. I really don't have time to "act like," so, you're on your own with this one darling. Stay safe.
So in these videos we are being told to fork over our 401Ks to a woman who is selling us a product that has the same chemicals as every other relaxer and/or comb threw texturizer on the market. Let's start trusting ourselves for once. Black Girl Magic y'all... we can do better than believing this. It's just a kiddie perm. #snakeoil
People just know how to take our coins boy....$500, $750, $900 for a Jheri....I mean Gina Curl?! Didn’t even switch up the name that much 🤣🤣🤣Don’t hop on the bandwagon before doing research✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾so glad @TwoLaLa brought this to our attention. Thanks!
And she is just as wonderful when she calls you on the phone to schedule your visit. She is wonderful. I can't wait to meet her when I do my straight variation. Doggone pandemic is hindering me getting my do did!
@aallThingsLife, I guess she is SOOOOO WONDERFUL & SWEET so that she can CONVINCE you and many others to pay a RIDICULOUS PRICE for a GLORIFIED JHERI CURL LOL🤣😭 To ALTER the NATURAL STATE of your hair! Hell you might as well just do a TexLax if you want to loosen your curls or is this for people you don't have ANY CURLS @ ALL and want curls, HMMMM Who Knows 🤪 Anywho ENJOY, just my OPINION because I have the right to RESPOND to public COMMENTS! BLESSINGS 👼🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
@@mistyjones4816 Considering the cost of all my wigs and braids and hair products, if i just have to do this "glorified jheri curl" twice a year and my hair won't break and I CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY MY HAIR, i am fine with it.
She’s charging almost $1000 of course she would...... as a person who had a jeri curl in the 80’s this is just that. The technique is slightly different, but only slightly.... I will believe if she’s a stylist for black hair when I see other hairstyles and treatments. I only have seen her work with this chemical treatment only. No press and curl, wraps, silk press, etc. Her job is to sell it and she’s doing a good job of that. Something is off about her. Can’t put my finger on it. I have a white stylist who does all types of styles well.... black women can be so naive.
Question: how dose Gina curl work on low density thin or fine hair? Dose she change the formula to a milder based on the hair density? I’ve watch a videos about the Japanese perm and noticed in a retouching video they used a liquid to cover the processed hair and prove double processing. Dose the Gina curl have a similar method or is it just based on where the new growth ends?
I got the Gina curl done. I have medium density but my strands are fine. She can change the formula based on your hair. I think because of my density, on me she tried the standard formula first but the standard formula made my hair process super quickly so she washed that out and used the softer/not as strong formula for my hair and that worked better. She made a note for me so that next time I come she knows to use the softer formula. My hair is great, I’ll probably do a straight variation next time, but my hair is manageable, it’s soft and even with 3 months of new growth I don’t have breakage, no line of demarcation, still pretty simple to detangle. If you want a chemical in your hair - I recommend Gina Curl.
I really appreciate Gina’s knowledge and decades of experience. I enjoyed hearing about how she got her start with black hair care and I can tell she is a genuine sweet heart. Plus I love old school healthy hair stylists. I’ve seen Gina’s work in Titi Lavish’s videos and her hair is long, healthy and amazing. Anyone who believes this is just a Jheri curl is delusional. Thanks to you guys and Gina for making this informative video.
@ NCA, She said it's the SAME DAMN CHEMICALS so who's really DELUSIONAL here 🤷🏽♀️!! Lawd Have MERCY🤦🏽♀️!! If USING CHEMICALS are the ONLY WAY she CAN MAINTAIN Black Natural Hair to RETAIN LENGTH/HEALTH that's NOT SAYING MUCH since she's so KNOWLEDGEABLE abt Black Hair Care 🤔
Misty Jones First of all, calm down. This is the last thing anyone should be so angry about. It’s just hair. This is a chemical that many women (black, white, Asian, Latina, etc.) choose to use on their hair. She uses a unique process with this chemical for black women’s hair and actually had a healthy result. If you don’t want that, or think it’s just a Jheri curl then don’t watch her videos. It’s making you too upset. Lol
Licensed cosmetologists especially black licensed cosmetologist are very on edge with this because it’s really nothing new and it seems like another rip off in the black community. She pretty much dissed wave nouveau, and other chemically curled hair systems when she said (2:52) “I refused to do wave nouveau, carefree…because I knew what it was gonna do to the hair.” It’s her competitions on top of that they were created by a black man. If she can diss it like that when her system does the same…I’m truly speechless
Oh girl, since this video, she now has black licensed cosmetologists doing the Gina Curl . Your point isn't completely invalid but you need to come with a little more next time. Alot of y'all on here are defending the jheri curl created by a white man who back then overpriced it for black hair as well. ( Mostly wealthy people clebs back then could afford it.) You don't even bring up Comer Cottrell a black man who came and made his own version of the jheri curl affordable. So please don't come on here making this about white and black until you know your own history. Ed Gardner, cool but don't forget Comer. And who knows..maybe we'll have our own Comer Cottrell of this day and age, but y'all (not you specifically) are so busy hating instead of gettin to work and making it happen.Being speechless isn't a bad thing girl! keep doing it. When you operate in the spirit of hush, you'd be surprised and what your actions produce. :)
@@twolala1 Are y’all stupid or dumb? You said a lot of nothing. What you do Google those historic facts? Focus on the point at hand. At the end of the day she insulted and lied on wave nouveau and care free curl technique, which btw has black/brown founders. She explained how her system differed from the original Jherri curl- a system that was discontinued by all practicing stylists decades ago-but didn’t explain the difference between her system and wave nouveau and care free curl. Instead she lied on wave nouveau and care free curl bc she stated that during wave nouveau and carefree curl chemical is applied at the beginning to straighten the hair as well as after the perm rods have been inputted into the hair, which is not true. The only thing that is applied to the hair after perm rods have been put in during wave nouveau or care free curl is neutralizer for oxidation. Is it possible her instructors did not teach her how to properly do the wave nouveau or care free curl because no knowledgeable stylist reapplies “more chemical” to the hair shaft after the perm rods are set when doing the wave nouveau or care free curl nor do they apply chemical to already processed hair. Black people have been getting what she now calls a Gina curl for decades, whilst also keeping healthy hair. It’s disrespectful for her to insult and lie on the techniques of wave nouveau and care free curl to boost her brand.
I need a gina curl. Please help me to find a person to do my hair? I have been watching your video's and Thank you for sharing. This is good information.
@@aerialeden as of now, Gina is the only person in the world doing her technique, so the only way to get a Gina curl is to take that trip to Connecticut. If your willing to wait a while, you can wait to see if any stylist in your area will get certified.
Why would she use more product when you have longer hair if she’s only applying it to new growth? That new growth is always going to be about the same amount every 6 months. Right?
Hello, I'm asking if I already did the jheri curl, wave nouveau, care free curl process, can I do the Gina curl without cutting off my hair? Can you please reply as soon as possible.
I’m guessing you def can, it’s literally the same process. And, anyone who has ever gotten a wave nouveau from a good stylist, they also only process your new growth.
Gina is amazing and what she does for people is even more amazing. But the price is ridiculous and the fact that it increases as your hair grows is even more ridiculous. It should be affordable and she would get even more clients. There’s no reason she should be charging over 200 dollars.
Wow I think she was very transparent with her answers & sincere! She’s been doing this since the 70s & I like that she is clear about what chemicals are not good & thanks for the tips - I’ll be honest I had a white hair dresser only cut my hair & it probably was the best cut yet- my hair was swinging !!!!
Yes you can, but there is a certain level of permanent color that you can't use with your Gina curl. I'm not sure what it is, you would have to ask Gina. Other than that, semi permanent colors, and henna colors are more then acceptable.
Gina/Jeri curl same thing! The difference is there's a neutralizer still being placed on your hair however instead of putting them on the poem rods she's putting it directly on your hair, Gina perm rods your hair which is why you're under the dryer to set the curl. Also with Jeri Curls you had to cut off any previously permed hair as well! Talk to any Stylist that did Jeri curls back in the day they'll tell you Gina curl is nothing but the Jeri curl.
But…you just explained the difference between them. How can they be the exact same thing if you just stated their differences? You and Gina are saying the exact same thing. Sounds like y’all are in the same page with this.
Black women have different reasons for wanting certain services for their hair. That’s the beauty of black hair. She saw an opportunity and went for it. At least she took the time to learn about our hair.
Is Gina planning on selling the chemical in stores? Relaxers aren’t the safest but people do it at home. Would love to try to do this myself as I know a lot about hair.
GINA CURL UPDATE!! It's happening!!! So GINA is NOT gonna be the only one doing the Gina Curl anymore..she's finally launching her course TOMORROW to train stylists to do the Gina Curl, so that people don't have to travel to CT to get it done. Here is the sign up link if you know stylists in your area..I tag Lesia! hairstalent.com/stylists/
ruclips.net/video/5NiTaE7cbH4/видео.html , your two hair is health, please watch the video damage this does if done ruclips.net/video/5NiTaE7cbH4/видео.html , I have license like this lady and this is done incorrectly. Education is powerful , get ready and started over
Can ur hair come back fully naturalif u want to take a break for a few years? Do u cut off the gina curl party? What will happen to the gina curl part?
Your hair will blend with your Gina curl. You will not have a line of demarcation, even with the 2 textures. Your Gina curl hair will always be there, until it eventually gets trimmed off , but you wont have any problems retaining your length with your 2 textures. They actually blend into each other, no matter what level of 4C you naturally grow. I love mine.
@@sherryguest615 So you trying to LEAD her 2 BELIEVE that your NATURAL 4C or 4whatever new growth just BLENDS RIGHT IN, I'll WAIT 🤔 Because if that's the case why get it in the first place and why get a TOUCH UP IF IT "BLENDS" RIGHT IN 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
How about we just learn to take care of our hair in its natural state instead of paying over $600 for a hair texture that isn’t ours to begin with? I’m all for women doing what makes them happy! This is a Genuine question❤️❤️❤️
Right!! I would NEVA, I WISH I WOULD pay this white woman or anyone else to alter my BEAUTIFUL NATURAL HAIR and for that amount of money💰 rather I have it or not!!! THE DEVIL😈 IS A LIE 🤦🏽♀️👍🏽
Anywho like you said whatever makes them happy, to each their own! I just feel as if they haven't truly learned to LOVE their God given hair and if such is the case that's cool as well, just say so!!
This was a much better way to discuss the Gina Curl than your part 1 of this video segment. I'm really glad to see that you interviewed Gina about her own product instead of the speculative approach you took in Part 1. Kudos to you both! And major Kudos to Gina Rivera, my personal hair care specialist and will continue to be until she retires. I am a Gina Curl girl for life! And now everyone knows Gina Rivera is the real deal! As you heard and saw in this video Gina Rivera has been keeping it real since the 70s... And about the price issue, I spent 10 hours getting my Gina Curl done by Gina and her assistant (4C mid-neck length hair). When I average the cost of doing my hair by two people working on it, its less than I make per hour. You can read more about my Gina Curl experience on Part 1 of this segment if you care to. But for me, Hands down, the Gina curl is the best decision I have ever made for my hair! Gina Rivera and the Gina Curl..are the real deal! Can't wait to go back next week for my retouch, 10 months after my first Gina Curl...yeah...it's that good...seriously. My hair is long and strong, past my shoulders and should be at near mid- back level when I go back for my second retouch next January or February.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to see that you, along with other women really like it. Alot of our videos are either research, learning, or both. We were learning about the Gina Curl because we were intrigued by it. We also we constantly asked about our take on it, so we did a video on it, hence part 1. We're proud of our first video ( not necessarily some of the comments), it was a video showing us trying to understand what this new service is and sharing it as well. Without part 1, we wouldn't have part 2 which we are equally as proud of because we were able to speak to Gina, who we can tell, is such an amazing human being as well as a great hairstylist :)
Yes I love Gina! I’ve been watching her for years. I graduated from Cosmetology school back in 96 and I know that Gina knows her stuff no question to that!
If anyone else is doing the Gina curl right now, it's probably bootleg, so I'd be careful about people , other than her, claiming they know how to do it. She hasn't trained anyone just yet and she's the only one licensed to do it.
@@twolala1 I have microlocs so I'm not planning to do this method but out of curiosity, where did the license for this particular method come from? Did she license herself? Is it (or will it be) like the sisterlocks brand where there are paid certifications? Thank you in advance for the answers! 💜💜💜
@@AlllSmiless This is a technique that she herself made up, so her ability to do her own technique qualifies her. When she trains other hairdressers to do her technique, and she is satisfied with their ability to do it correctly, she will certify them to preform her technique on their clients.
@@sherryguest615 Oh wow, I totally forgot I had made this comment, I actually looked it up myself after commenting so I'll post what I can remember here for anyone interested! So the chemicals, from my understanding, are similar (if not identical) to those in the Japanese hair straightening. You cannot just "get a licence" or "give a licence" for any random old method. However the are certain certificate that ppl can get after becoming a licensed cosmologists. I'm sure more detailed guidelines will come out about what the actual plan is from Gina herself once she gets it together. I hope that helped! 💜
Ladies That was the only program of yours that I've ever watched. I wanted to hear about the product that we were so happy to pay $600 dollars. I concede that the result seems to be a good one for most people. The first thing I heard whatever she said and then I'm white. I heard the spill about how she got started. It's ok if people want to spend $600 for a hair doo. Their Money. But then I heard I put a style or a product in their hair that grows it. Ok. The next thing I really heard is when it grows I charge more. I'd like to know what she meant when she said it is a product from Japan or a Japanese product and her procedure. I know that we buy Japanese cause it's cheap. Still, whoever is willing to pay her $100 dollars an hour it's their money I really don't have a problem with that(well) let us just say it's none of my business. If she was really in the know why did she sell one of her most avid fans something that would damage her hair so badly? This is a woman that prides her-self with knowing black hair. You're right she didn't make it but she sold it to the young lady off of her shelf. Did she never look at the ingredients to see if it would be a problem? To sum up my problem with Gena, I think that it's the so what I make your hair grow attitude and when I heard I'll charge you more the next time because of it. I was floored. I don't know what you have done on your other shows but I do know when you said I love her already and then you finished with that black hairdresser comment. Why? Every time I think about her biggest fan scraping up money to travel to get her hair done and have to unknowing pay an extra $200 because her hair grew an inch and none of it fell out, what is that?? Ok, everyone, it was put out there and I commented. I mean none of you ill will. I will only say, do you.
It’s al thio perms don’t let her play you. The cream that you straighten the hair with is the same liquid that is applied after you straighten the hair. Look on the cream then look on the curl booster or whatever your using. All same chemical. So if your chose to just roll the perm rods after using the cream you could just like she is doing. No way would she get 600 for a thio perm and the jury is out on her story about black hair. I’m a old ass lady she ain’t foolin me she might playing with your young girls but she ain’t playing me. It’s the same thing a thio Perm She is just omitting the 2nd step. She is just doing step 1 & 3
She is still using the same technique that the creator of the Gheri Curl created. Im happy that she styles our hair, and every hair stylist should be able to do all hair types. However, it sounds like a Gheri Curl. She is making her customers happy, and I guess that's all that matters.
Hey thanks for the video. Just for clarity, once you get the Gina Curl you can no longer do braids, twist and such the like? Any whose, thank you Gina for sharing and thank you Ladies. 🧚🏿♂️
I am very confused, I am at the salon now and my stylist says that she uses the same technique to apply Jheri curl for $60. This is crazy. I pray that I find a white technique, repackage it and sell it back to white people. Black people need to unite, a girl at the salon was complaining about paying $800 for an infusion but would not complain about a Gina curl. Wow, my stylist says white women pay her a $1000 and never complain, lets treat each other better.
Honestly, the video felt informative. However, it seemed odd for you all to give her this platform for a product that you don’t have in your hair. I would’ve like to hear personal experience from someone who actually has the gina curl.
I'm glad you somewhat caught on to the point of this video--informative. On our channel, we highlight salons that give options for black women's hair. Our subscribers aren't just relaxed and straight hair, they're natural with curly and other textures. So every now and then we'll highlight salons /services that provide options for them too so they can know what's out there. There are a ton of videos with women who got the Gina Curl and they love it. If I haven't linked them, I'll link it in a bit. :)
Any hair service is priced by TIME, expertise, & products. The same way you pay $800 to get your car fixed & the part is on $30 - the $770 is labor (diagnosing the problem, taking your car apart, fixing the problem & reassembling the car). Not sure how long it takes for a Jheri curl, wave nouveau, or other curly perm but I suspect if it’s less money, is less TIME in the chair. All skilled tradespersons are charging for their TIME, products, & expertise. I saw on another video where the young lady said it took 8 hours for her Gina curl. EIGHT hours? Okay, I don’t know on what planet anyone expects to take up 8 hours of a stylists time & not pay for that. Someone can let me know which planet that is cuz it ain’t on earth ... 🤣🤣🤣
Who cares about her race? Can she do my hair or not?! That’s what matters people. Technique is everything, if anything we need to encourage other races to learn our hair so we have more options on where we go to do our hair. I know personally I can’t find any hair stylist by me that can do my hair 🤷🏽♀️ they don’t “specialize” in black hair. We need more people like her, that not only love black hair but understand it! 👏🏾
Thanks for doing this, I am a Gina Curl client and I can attest to everything she said. Once this pandemic is over I will be getting my first retouch which is long over due. Gina and her entire staff are wonderful, straight forward honest people. I would not drive 7.5 hours and spend that kind of money for nothing. I'm Canadian, so for me it's a hell of a lot of money. Btw love the video but the music was distracting.
Yes she's very thorough and so nice of her to go into detail about what she's doing. We'll be more careful to make sure the music isn't super loud next time :)
The doctor here in Virginia was the sweetest person that care for his clients as well. Everyone had nothing but the nice, complimentary things to say about him. Yes, he was on the news for giving close to 500 unnecessary surgeries to unsuspecting women. However, they all loved him though. He's about to do a lot of prison time right now. Also, remember when people can get tons of money out of you, how do you expect them to treat you? Especially when their scamming you.

@@twolala1 To be SLEEP & BLIND must be a Hell la va thing🤷🏽♀️ Just watching this video spoke VOLUMES, she says herself the CHEMICALS ARE THE SAME AS JHERI CURL WAVE NOUVEAU whatever, she just APPLIES IT DIFFERENTLY or has a new technique!!! What🤔🤪🤦🏽♀️
I did my own research with the Jheri curl, wave nouveau and Japanese straighten treatment. I did my own experiment so more to come :D. Gina basically used a portion of the Japanese style, but the perm version. I see she uses some of the Milbon products. They have the products that will break the bonds of your hair and you can tailor the strength of the chemical by putting in another formula to dilute the strength. Gina does just that. She tailors the strength of the chemical for different textures and health of your hair. So she could be using different strengths throughout your hair to ensure the health of your hair. All the perm products are using the Ammonium Thioglycolate to get the job done. With her technique she applies the chemical first and the perm rods after. Also when she does the retouches she applies a protection cream to all the processed hair and she puts the chemical on the new growth thus protecting the previous processed hair.
I can see she is giving a lot of care to the hair because it is a chemical process. She is applying the best technique to ensure the health of the hair which results in less breakage and promotes hair retention. I am not mad at that, but for me I just can’t get past the processes of straighten the hair (breaking the bonds of the hair) then forming completely new curls. Well I got curious and did some experiments of my own with the Ammonium Thioglycolate chemical. Why make new curls when you can enhance your own curls. That means no perm rods needed and only applying the chemical to your hair once. That cuts the whole process down. Call me a dare devil, but I did it. I am in the process of documenting results and I will see how it goes. Same chemical just different technique.
Thank you so much for sharing and so thorough :)
You go girl👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. And if it works--please market it. I would rather support a black owned business,
b/c in most instances black owned businesses sow back into HBCUs and black causes/programs and schools. This lady probably is not doing that. She just wants to try to pimp the natural hair community. I’m tired of everyone trying to pimp us (BW). One of the many reasons why I went natural in the 1st place. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing how your process works. 👍🏾
Thank you Venus for this very detailed explanations for ignorant people like myself. I think taking the time to nail perfectly the technic (by mixing by blending a few technics) and tailoring the strength/intensity of the chemicals is exactly what we pay for in other industries (body/mind related). Will you post your experimentations somewhere? Do you have a blog or a Google Drive where you save all your testings? In case you might be interested, those 2 articles helps understand chemicals www.hairfinder.com/info/permanent-waves.htm and www.hairfinder.com/info/permingprocess.htm
@@artiswilkins306 I sure will let you know. I am just excited in the learning process and just wanting to have something to make the day to day process of doing our hair not as time consuming as well as not having to spend a lot of money in the process.
Are you going to make a video?
I love you beauties but this is so wrong. I’ve been doing hair for 14 years and I use to do Jerri curls in coming school every week for my clients and for years after that. It’s a Modern day Jerri curl I’ve seen it done. I’m into product formulation, I’m a Cosmetologist , Trichologist and Herbalist. She breaks the bonds with a cream then she uses perm rods to set. When you asked her the difference she talked about the application not the product. The product is exactly the same with minor edits so she won’t get sued and the “technique “ she uses is one we’ve been using for years with no overlapping. Come on.
I’m sure she’s a nice lady but we can’t spread this. It’s a slap on the face to the woman who came before us. This is crazy.
That's what I been telling them
I legit thought it was Texlaxing 😩 but basically they all applying chemicals to their hair to get looser curls and roots
I was about to @you!! Yes!!
Girrrrrllll I legit can't believe ppl are falling for this. She's doing a lot of doubletalk but this is a Jherri curl.
Hey pretty! How in the world did we miss this? Anyways, Noted & Thanks for the comment. We appreciate it coming from an informed and respectful place. Keep up the good work. Your channel is awesome💗
Sounds like a 2020 version of the jheri curl.
But it could be done. She is getting rich off of lazy hair dressers and gullible black women who don’t know what to do with their 💵.

Exactly! That's the point I was trying to make as well.
It is just a curl....no matter what you say....she did not invent that procedure....Jheri , and all the others grew folks hair also....back in the day others were trying to come up with different Jheri curls and the reactions were pretty much the same...and so yeah essentially just a curl....personally I like curls because it does somehow keep the hair in shape and if you take care of your hair you will have a whole lot of it...hair that is......

Exactly one summer as a kid I spent time with my dad. He took me to a stylist to get my hair done the 1st summer the black lady styled it fine but SHE CUT SO MUCH off. My mom was upset. The next summer he took me to another stylist. A white lady and she did a touch up (relaxer) and everything my hair never broke off later and she trimmed it but my hair was pretty much the same length. It depends on them as individuals.

Exactly so paying 700 and up is crazy 🤪yall getting jipped

Right! It’s an expensive Wave Nouveau with a new name in a new year 💁🏾♀️. Everyone is making money from our hair.
This wasn’t a good interview. You guys did not challenge her or ask real questions. This was needed because their is a controversy behind her. Black women are her target audience. This conversation is bigger than just going to a white hairstylist
It was informative for me about the process and the difference between her Gina curl and other curly perms. No, they didn’t grill her but I don’t think that was the point.
She should've known some of us were gonna give her some kick back. I mean if the tables were turned most of us know a black woman couldn't just come in doing white women's hair without a few naysayers or negativity. It is what it is!!!..... She SHOULD'VE known most of us are iffy about who does our hair. I don't see nothing wrong with questioning her abilities. You SHOULD question everybody and everything anyway.🤷🏾♀️
Nothing wrong with questioning, but there should be a level of tact with it, and alot of "questioning" came across as rude.
I agree Yulanda. Also we are so protective over non black woman we don't just allow others to feel the way they feel.
Soni Youmans 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
guys the shampoos and conditioners and masks you buy from main stream brands were made by white people..... there is no point to this comment
@@tawanacalamari5712 Wrong. Plenty of black owned brands that are main stream that you can buy. This is not the 1960s.
Jheri curl... it's the same sorry she's nice but it's the same... she said it her self by mistake
Facts. She is doing our hair, and that is the part that I like. It's still a Gheri Curl, though.
Same thing I said! She just renamed the the Jerri curl
I swear I thought that I saw her retouching her client's hair and putting chemical all the to the ends.
ruclips.net/video/7oyQhI582dI/видео.html
Absolutely who she trying to fool
ruclips.net/video/5NiTaE7cbH4/видео.html License Style this will be out come, it an other name for Gheri Curl and Cold Waves Perm < this lady is getting paid because your ladies does not understand. Gheri Curl and all form wave nouveau curls, care free curl , there are some out there is much healthy when done correct and will grow hair the same speed . Texturizing Curl
Not judging you Gina, I’ve had both jheri and wave and this is still the SAME. She’s just not processing the ends only new growth. It’s the same chemicals. Not convinced, bye.
k bye! :)
@@twolala1 I encourage you to conduct additional research and maybe watch videos from different hair salons that practice these styles. Gina is nice on the video, but she is not the creator of this technique. Be blessed, stay safe.
@@MsDy-vv8jo Yes of course we are always researching stuff. However, Gina knows she wasn't the originator of curly perms, jheri curl, etc. and she never said she was. Alot fo these salons that do these similar styles, she's been doing them..waayy back in the 70s if you watched the video. She took what was already there, saw where it could be improved and made it her own. We're in 2020, nothing is original. 99.9% of what you think is a original idea has probably been done before. .
TwoLaLa True, even your beloved Beyonce and everyone else sample other people music and repackage it.
@@saveusgod1524 ok sure
This is the SAME thing. Gina admits that the chemicals are they same. ANY trained stylist knows you only retouch the new growth, even for a wave nouveau. More importantly, in 2020 no one should be paying more than $250 for this style. Gina is charging 3x this, sometimes more! Again, she already admitted that the chemicals are not different, so why the 300% increase in price. I cannot stress enough that this is the SAME DAMN THING. Also, did y’all peep how she’s gonna package a conditioner and styling product, but NOT the Ginacurl. And, you know why, because it’s the SAME DAMN THING as what has been out for years and she will get hit with copyright issues. It’s the same, period.
Taking advantage of blk women who are not educated on natural hair maintenance or who don't have the time to do their natural hair
Thank you tell them cause clearly they don’t know!
I hear it takes eight hours for the GC. On what planet will you sit all day in a stylist’s chair & pay $250? When you pay for a service, you’re compensating the person for their TIME as well as for their product, skills, & expertise. Also, if sistahs could buy black, get the EXACT same service as the GC, & pay less, wouldn’t they do that?
@@simplybri3608 - You’re basically calling black women fools - as if black women aren’t making informed decisions on how to spend their own money but instead are allowing themselves to be bamboozled.
She said the chemical is the same, not the formula. However I do believe she’s overcharging. Still, it’s her business and obviously her clients can afford it. I won’t be getting this done though
Soooo, same chemical different technique.... who are you trying to convince sis? It’s a non juicy Jheri curl... not knocking the process cause people can do what they want with their hair but if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck it’s a DAMN DUCK! Hair length can be retained without any chemical. But Get your coin Gina!
Something that you said absolutely hit the nail on the head, that the natural community can be so fickle - we complain about not having non-black hairstylists to do our hair, but here is someone who obviously enjoys and appreciates black hair and is doing a service that black people actually want. After hearing her tell her story, I don't have reservations. Like she's not brainwashing people to hate themselves, she saw a problem and offered a solution. She has my respect for sure. I'm not sure if I would get this because I like hair versatility, and switching it up whether braids, flat iron, braid outs etc. However, I respect any woman (or man or non-binary person) who would want this for whatever reason.
Thank you so much for taking your time to write this comment
She admitted it’s similar to a jheri curl and that it is a chemical, not a natural process. It’s only “more meticulous “, meaning they pay attention to the new growth.
The music is very distracting. Trying so hard to listen
Adhd maybe. Look into it
I just recently found out about Gina Curl. I’m still doing my research and have been reading the comments below.
Confused about why some people are upset regarding the price?!!!
Let’s do a breakdown:
First time clients:
Approx $600 - (8 hrs in the chair) - $75 hr.
You return 6 months later for a retouch (A benefit for out of State clients)
Which means you technically only spent $100 a month if you were going to a local salon.
Point Blank her prices are very fair.
In the grand scheme of things, women have spent more on bundles and sew-ins for less hours in a chair.
I would love to try Gina Curl and wish her business great success. Please let us know if you return to NC.
From testimonials and dming the girls personally the avg. no less than $800 for kinky shoulder length when stretched hair.
There’s a girl on RUclips who was $950 as a first time AND each retouch is that price. That’s without travel coming from out of state, some people even fly from Europe to see her.
Regular relaxers and jheri curls don’t cost this much and her chemicals are almost identical. She’s just learnt how to nurture hair and she’s the goat at marketing hence why she’s even on the is channel.
Good weaves you can reuse you will always have the tracks $1000 raw virgin hair will last you 2 years minimum. Good install in England anyway no more than £50.
If you wanna talk value for money. Weaves win every time, box braids win every damn time.
By your logic box braids should cost $450+ for the amount of time it takes and how long they last. She doesn’t do every single person herself she still outsources and is able to see very many clients. Not like your local salon.
She’s a lovely lovely lady but definitely greedy with the pricing. I don’t blame her. There’s people silly enough to spend that on their hair but not towards things that will last and make them comfortable in old age.
You can’t afford something unless you could buy it comfortably it if it costed 3x the amount. And most of those girls really struggle you can tell by how long they leave between retouches. They’re looking raggedy by the 4th month. Just look at the IG page of those revisiting.
If you fall into the category of genuinely being able to afford it without sacrifice and saving up for it and taking money away from something that will build your portfolio go for it. The results are mostly amazing. Fantastic. Clients are genuinely happy but the pricing is appalling!
Are white girls paying this price to get their hair bleached or permed? No. We’re just an easy op b/c we’re so insecure about our hair.
@@FlabbyDouglas Yes. Shelby Church paid 425 dollars to get her hair done and ended up looking the same.
This is just a texturizer with perm rods. Black natural hair is already curly. I'm so confused.
You're not the only one.
I got the Gina curl in November 2019 and was highly disappointed. I had been natural for 5 years and had never dyed my hair. The curl didn't take to all of my hair so 5 inches of my hair had to be cut out. She makes you sign paperwork so that you don't sue her. It cost me over $800 plus an extra service fee that wasn't told until I arrived to my appoint. The results vary by person! Another woman whose hair was so heat damaged that her hair didn't curl when we but had better results. I was pissed. The aftercare sucks once your hair growths out because of the two different textures. When wet the processed portion of my hair feels damaged, porous and sticks to other hair strands easily. It gets tangled. By the way Gina does not services all clients herself. She has assistants who process some of the clients. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ASK PEOPLE WHO HAS ACTUALLY HAD THE SERVICE. I could say so much more but don't feel like typing anymore.
Hi Idara, Please give the salon a call I would love to know the extra fee that was charged to you.
There are only two extra fees that we charge and we explain them both in our quote email that is sent to you with all the information about your day.
We add a $50 late fee if you arrive after 30 minutes and another $50 for every other 30 minutes that you are late.
We also explain in the email that we charge a $50 fee if you come in with your hair knotted, tangled or dreaded. We ask in that response email for your hair to be tangled free with a few twists or braids before coming to the salon. The cost covers the time that we will be put behind combing out your hair.
Also, in that letter you are told that we work as a team. It is true unless you ask for Gina and pay the extra fee for Gina alone all the stylist work on you one point or another. (
The extra $100 fee is for changing up our schedule for you).
I'm curious about your curls not taken. The only reason why your ends would not have curled would be because you had previous chemical in your hair and you opposed to cutting your hair before the process. Did 5 inches of your hair not curl the day you were in the salon or did this happen over time at home. Either way if it happened in the salon then we would have done your hair over that day or we would have scheduled for you to come back to get a redo if the case was that you were completely natural which confuses me because that would never happen.. If it happen after and you called us we would have made sure to do everything we can before having to cut your hair. Now if you had previous chemical in your hair like a smoothing treatment keratin, amino acid smoothing, relaxer, texlax and you didn't tell us that's another story. If you told us we would have told you that you will have to cut off the chemical treated hair before getting a Successful GinaCurl and you might have opposed to that,
We are very sorry you were dissatisfied. Please give the salon a call and ask to speak to Gina.
Thanks for writing this. I was almost tempted to do this. I’ll keep my natural texture.
I’m glad you interview her for more clarity for people who are interested.
You're welcome! That was the point of the video..hope it helped! :)
The fact is the only reason Black women are paying those prices is BECAUSE she is deceiving them. Otherwise, almost no one would go to her and she knows it. It doesn't matter that she is White or using an old product and process per se. The main issue that people have(as do I) is that the price is excessive and exploitative for what is an old school, inexpensive chemical treatment used by Black shops for years-PLUS she IS trying to claim that what she is doing is unique(her words) and not properly giving credit and attributing the source. She admitted that is the same chemical, and as for the application, there are others who don't double process and avoid overlapping. I rarely use the term, but this is the definition of cultural appropriation. She's actually been doing this for more than 20 years. I used to live in CT back then and had a friend who was Black but used to do her own thio box perms at home and didn't know where to go to get it done professionally. I did some research and found this lady. From what I remember, there was no special name for this service, nor was it particularly popular then. Her salon did a wide variety of hair types though back then, there weren't many Black people getting their hair done there (not many in CT anyway). She charged far less for it then(what the price of a normal curly perm would be). She also did Japanese hair straightening (pretty much another thio). Her service was simply a thio curly perm, kind of a combo between a regular White curly perm and a Jheri curl/Wave Nouveau. I was shocked to see the price now, what her claims are, and also that no one figured this out. The aftercare is not revolutionary and is basic. Her argument about how she came up with the price is not logical as well. I would have more respect for her if she said what it is, that she is doing an old school thio perm and not a revolutionary new service (which it isn't) and that she charges such high prices because she wants to make as much money as she can. It would still be unethical though because of the deception.
So is she using a small independent lab to formulate her products? I'm confused I heard her mention a chemical safety sheet. So is she making the chemical mixture fresh in the back? Is it fda approved? I don't care what color a stylist is im concerned about skill safety and price.
I can't begin to guess but I'm sure she's not putting out anything that's harmful. You can email her to further explain though.
It might be that she combining two different techniques of relaxing. So maybe her mix of the cream is different. She probably wants to grow the brand to other salons. You need a lot of research to prove your claims for that. Plus she adding her own line of products
I work in the medical field and Im familiar with hearing the term "material Data sheet". So basically this is a form that must be displayed in any building that houses a chemical whether it be a medical facility, salon, retail store that sells chemicals etc. As far as her using a lab. She sounds like she eluded to that she may have divised the product either in her home or a clean location. Once she comes up with the product ofcourse she would then have to contract with a lab facility to do final chemical testing ( per government safety laws) and to produce and package the product in mass to salons or retail ( whereever she decides to sell it). She didn't say all of that but Im just breaking it down for clarity. Lets say you bake great biscuits. You might test several receipts at home until you get the best result. Then you find a test kitchen and company to help you perfect the receipts then package the biscuit mix for mass store sales or restaurants use.
@@twolala1 , You're SURE 👌🏽 and EXACTLY How can you be so SURE 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ OMG ALL CHEMICALS ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS are you SERIOUS or you just WANT 2STAY BLIND & OBLIVIOUS 🤔🤦🏽♀️
@@mistyjones4816 She is doing that, because I mentioned in a video where one of the reviews said, it made her hair fall out. When it comes to buisness they will never tell people the truth of the negative effects, so asking her instead of the women who literally got it done is like banging your head up against a wall. They have girl on here whose hair is so stringy by using the Gina curl, the girl is usually wearing wigs most of the time.
I guess I've been under a rock.. but um, this is a new age high priced jeri curl..
Yep--you said it right.
Yes I used to get jeri curls as a kid this is exactly what this is why are people calling it something different

@@artiswilkins306 yep highway robbery it costs like $30 bucks at the time.
It really is a very overpriced Jheri curl! I had a Jheri curl for years and it’s gives the same results and grows your hair. Why is something that was 50
Now is 600! You heard her say she used the Jheri technique 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
that is so true, folks assume because you have chemically altered hair you hate yourself.....
M Raheem admit what?
@@gabe6959 yeah, some people got a messed up way of thinking. No matter what we choose to do with our hair, there will always be negative comments. Idk why people r so obsessed with our hair and what we do with it 🤷🏽. I am all natural but that doesn't mean that I have the right to judge the next blk woman for wanting what she wants.
The Japanese straightening chemical which is a thio or perm is stronger then a relaxers produced for black hair. This is because Japanese hair is stronger. It is more difficult to breakdown. Afro hair is more delicate. This is especially true due to the fact that many of us have high porosity hair. Therefor the cortex lifts more easily and chemical enters which can lead to breakage. Her technique may be better, but that chemical is more corrosive to Afro hair. Hello ladies you are not suspose to apply relaxer to the ends either. It a licensed cosmetologist did that they need to go to someone else. A wave nouveau doing the same application technique would cost $110.00.
BINGO
Honestly, this is a very innovative idea! I appreciate Gina’s willingness to learn how to do black hair throughout the years. Black people are always complaining about white stylists not being versatile, but Gina is doing it. And let’s not forget there black stylists out here messing up people’s hair just as much. The Gina curl isn’t something that I would consider, but I still support it😊
that part! her willingness to learn about black hair :)
Black women spend millions on hair. That’s where the money is. Of course she shows interest.
Innovative? 😂
This is what your parents and grandparents were getting in the 70's and 80's for $50. She is manipulating black women into thinking they are getting something new. It is not...
Isn’t this what Madame C.J Walker did??
For 600.00 dollars 🤔
high pitch... ''the chemical is the same (pause) I mean it's better, the process is different".... if it's the same chemical, it's the same ma'am. does she have a patent for this product? That can go a long way in proving that these two are different
I noticed in some Gina curl videos there is a liquid added to the hair as it is rolled up. Anyone know what that is? It’s not neutralizer
Y’all... are.... 🤨
This is a damn $7.99 texturizer!!!!
Gina destroyed my hair. My virgin hair was down to my waist when I went to her then after 2 years there was much damage I ended up cutting it to shoulder length. And then years after I went on her ig and saw she posted my before photo as the “after” and said her products “retain length”. Scam
😂 I know right! I’m like boo, bye! Everyone knows to do a retouch on new growth only! 🤦🏾♀️.
I also feel like, in the natural hair community.... they only wanna represent the 4a, 3c, 3b type hair....
That's not true
We see a lot more representation nowadays, given its 2021. Noticing your comment was 7mos ago.
It would be AWESOME if the stylists that get certified in the Gina Curl that can be listed by state on her site once that starts!
Yes! I'm sure she'll have something like that available :)
And countries too
@@IonaRozier Yes!!
Great interview! She knows her stuff and the best thing is, she loves what she does, loves black hair textures, and loves/ is dedicated to making black women look great.
She loves the money!
She's sweet but I know hair dressers that were doing the same process in the 90's I don't buy that it is not the same process. History repeats itself with style and trends and also so. This is not a new process.
My auntie was a beautician and she applied the curl corrector cream first, rinsed, curl rod it, applied curl curl setter, put us under dryer, rinsed, took rods out, apply moisturizer/lotion. That was in the 80’ and 90s. She never applied cream while the rods were placed. Gina ain’t doing any different technique! If so, then her technique should be called the Jean Curl!!!!
There is a chemical applied to the perm rods with every curl on the market today. What is a curl curl setter?
How is the straight variation different than just a regular relaxer?
In Brazil it is called Afro permanente. Check on RUclips for all the tutorials. Is is used in Brazil for decades now.
It is the same chemical as Japanese perm. thioglycolate. Love that hairs talent brought this to America. Cheers!!
Now those are more like the original Jheri curl, they double process with a waving lotion. Interesting that they're not getting the same hate.
Sim é vdd tudo igual e o cabelo cresce e fica saudável também.
I am a Afro Brasilian American it is tricky. Some girls have it via Afro permanente and some naturally have that texture. Either way cabela negra (no matter what texture )e muito bonita
You mean to tell me that Black in Brazil been doing this for ages? Im shook!
This is literally just a Jerry Curl with a very very slightly altered “technique”. Im not knocking it AT al because the work is beautiful. But lets not get confused lol. And this is a perm with an added curl chemical.
People are just looking for a reason to be mad. Give credit where credit's due. All her clients have nothing bad to say about Gina Curl and there's a reason they're going to her.
As long as you're offering a high quality product or service, you should be able to charge whatever you feel is right! If you cant afford it, then don't get it. There'll always be people who see the value in it and are willing to pay the price that it goes by.
Exactly
I don’t have any problem with Gina or her prices (since this process seems to take 8 hours or more). It just saddens me a bit that women who took the time to grow out their natural hair are putting chemicals back into it in order to imitate a looser curl pattern. I feel like the natural hair community’s obsession with curl definition and emphasis on 3b-4a curls has gotten into the heads of some of our 4b/c sisters and caused them to think there is something wrong with their beautiful hair. Don’t get me wrong, if the Gina Curl makes them happy, I’m happy for them. It just makes me a little sad and disappointed is all.
In some cases, that could be it, but maybe they just can't or don't have time to manage a tighter curl. Alot of women are great at maintaining their 4b/c hair, and some just aren't. I don't think it's them thinking that their hair isn't beautiful, they probably aren't able to take care of it the way they should, so the Gina Curl is an option they have. My hair when it was natural was beautiful, but I can maintain my hair better when relaxed and I love it relaxed as well. I see what you're saying , but just wanted to give another perspective :)
yeah this is where i'm at with it.
As a woman with 4C, DENSE, low porosity, full shrinkage hair. I don't have the energy to spend 1-3 days attempting to achieve the style I want and don't like applying lots of heat either, making sure my braids & twists are thoroughly dried before I remove them and PRAY that my style comes out as intended. I can't continuously handle my fast-growing, full natural fro being out, catching dust and burrs from God knows where, bc any hint of moisture in the air, even at 0% humidity, will frizz and matte up in a heartbeat. Not even gonna start with the qualms about fairy knots.
1 day, 1 roundtrip flight (using Airfordable, so it's NOT 1 big payment), 1 hotel stay/AirBnb or find a friend, 1 payment, and 1 purchase of hair products to save me time/stress for the remainder of the 364days of the year. I see no issue there.
My mom used to do Jheri curls, but in the last 15 years, she started applying the neutralizer only. The curl is not wet and looks so natural. It is beautiful and helps the hair grow so long. Most people who do Jheri curls would understand this, but we can reasonably say it is the same products - just different steps. Jheri curls were over $100 when people did them in their house in the 80’s, so it’s not surprising that it costs a lot. It reminds me of a Leisure Curl. Basically, Jheri curl is to Gina curl as Relaxer is to Telaxer 🤷🏾♀️
I couldn’t care less about what color she is. The fact that she cares enough about our hair to do what we want to it in a healthier fashion says EVERYTHING. Also, I appreciate what she’s doing, but not all of us have that type of money. I’m a college student and to pay over $950 to travel and get my hair done is actually ridiculous
M Raheem lmfao shut up
M Raheem Your an obsessive bitch.
She care about your black $$. That's it!
Ms. Whiteside i do think it’s incredibly overpriced, but i don’t see the issue with her providing a healthier version of a sought out service🤷🏾♀️
@@anacarl5035 No chemical is healthy. 🤷🏾♀️
I don't think so!! Why would she sell the product?? Why you playin? $600 short hair goes up because it grows. Really?? Gina is laughin all the way to the bank. Ask her how much it cost to make her Gina product. Girls ask yourselves if someone in your neighborhood told you that they were going to use the same chemical and different process but the price is going up because this is going to grow your hair, not a $100 but hundreds of dollars your answer would be?? I thought so. She explains it like she is doing you all a favor. You live and you learn. And I take offense at I love her already, and then you proceeded to degrade the black hairdressers. You can love her but why was it important to add the last line?? Just so you know I'm not a hairdresser and the pictures of the hair look nice. I just don't like us being the brunt of the joke.
Cynthia Boston when did we degrade black hair dressers??? If you watch our channel ,you know that’s something we never do. You’re reading wayyy too much into it and trying to spin things negatively lol
All the videos are on AA customers. Where are the videos of her white customers?
High quality CHEMICALS? 😂 now that’s an oxymoron. This reminds me of that lady who was selling hair bonnets for $100
🤣🤣🤣🤣
D Wise, EXACTLY.
That’s definitely an oxymoron tf!!
For real! You ain’t lying!
What if black women just didn't alter their hair and loved their kinky /curly hair the way it is . Yall would save sooo much money
No they wouldn’t. That process still has black womens hair curly. Stop being judgmental.
I’ll stop texturizing my hair when white women stop coloring their hair- why do we all have to be natural? This isn’t 1922
Girls, thank you for taking the time to interview Gina...she knows her ish!
Ednise Augustin Right?! She’s been doing this for years!
A jheri curl, a carefree curl, a wave nouveau it all grows your hair because its the moisture that is used to maintain the service that prompt growth. I believe it is ALL HYPE!!!! I don't care what color your are if its a dressed up jheri curl that's what it is. I feel that she is adding unnecessary time to make the clients feels she doing things that is so significant to their hair when its just really isn't. Everybody could grow hair with a jheri curl back in the day. The service never broke anyone hair off if done properly and care for the same. You couldn't use heat on the jheri curl either, it would cause damage. The same holds true for the Gina Curl. The New Era came out with a gel reversal kit for the curl to transform it into a straight style with minimal shedding. Gina growing out the twins hair isn't magic to me its more gimmick when they hair would have grown with the same chemical anyway.
Hey did you watch the whole video? For starters, we don't have a Gina Curl and you'd probably hear what she says regarding the Gina and jheri curl :)
@@twolala1 Thanks, you I stand to be corrected. I thought that I read in the comments that she grew you all hair out. Thought I missed it in the video.... 😉
What is the pH of the product? She says it's low, low but she doesn't say what it actually is. Are you still able to ask her to do you already know?
How much does she charge for the jheri, I mean gina curl?
I have a question about hair maintenance with the Gina Curl that I haven't seen addressed yet. I've tried reading through the comments for an answer, but the negativity is startling to me and I'm becoming despondent by our community, so I can't imagine what it is like for @TwoLaLa and Gina. I get skepticism, but the personal attacks are unfortunate. Based on the first video, there was a statement about not being able to braid hair etc. My question is once you have the Gina Curl, can you do styles such as twist outs, cornrows, braids, larger perm rod sets, blowouts etc.? Although the hair is curly, these styles can provide refreshing versatility or add more dimension to curly hairstyles, which is an advantage to having naturally curly/coily hair.
Im sorry but I do think that she is capitalizing on something that already exists and she shouldn’t charge so much, she even said it herself it’s the same product but different technique. And I believe that other hairstylist are well equipped to do this! My problem is not the fact that she’s white is the fact that she’s using something that already exists, but ppl want to hear otherwise and just believe in this...ummm and also they do the exact same thing in Brazil 🇧🇷 for decades and it cost wayyyyyyy lessss I mean like the sameeeee. Talk to y’all Brazilian friends they’ll tell you don’t just jump on this right away
But right now she is the Only one in the states doing this technique the proper way. I see plenty of RUclips's of ladies going to get a curly perm, wave nuveau etc and hair falls out after 2 months. Gina uses proper technique while applying chemicals so she deserves that money she is stacking up. I used to get relaxers and my hair was so Damaged until I met this ONE stylist that grew my hair out way down my back with proper technique of applying relaxers. Not only my hair but everyone that sat in her seat. She is highly successful, she has relocated miles away from me and now I do my own hair. Don't trust anyone else. A stylist that knows proper techniques for Everything and uses the creme of the crop products, IS EVERYTHING TO ME and I would pay TOP DOLLAR.
Jheri Curl or Gina Curl wave Nuevo all the same
Please explain the steps in doing both services. We would love to hear the comparison. Also, please give us a break down of the products that are used for each service to also compare the comparison of products used. Thank you
My hair had been natural for 15 years, the only chemical I had was a rinse. For some strange odd reason I wanted a jheri curl, my stylist convinced me to get a wave nouveau, she said people don't do jheri curls anymore. Sorry to say my hair came out by the handfuls, an entire lock of my hair came out and my beautiful hair is a hot mess now. I don't blame my stylist, I think it was the product. I wish I had know about the Gina curl before I got the wave nouveau, because I would have invested in that instead. Now I have to do a big chop and start all over again.
It was definitely your stylist. Ive watched video on the qabe noveau and that shouldn't have happened
Same thing happened to my grandmother it took handfuls of her hair out and she had luscious thick hair. But the wave nouveau took it all out she had to go super short
Very sad world indeed. We complain about every darn thing. Seems like we deliberately search for things to complain about unnecessarily. I'm ready for my Gina Curl. You girls did a great job. Thank you.
You wont be disappointed, its sooo worth it.😊😊
@@sherryguest615 Thank you for the encouragement. From what I've seen, it looks like it.
Tashnah TV, OF COURSE people should get their hair done anyway they choose however let's NOT act like it's NOT A JHERI CURL being applied for up to 1,000 dollars using a so called different new technique 😆🤣😭🤦🏽♀️
@@mistyjones4816 I have a problem with the alphabet. All they did was repeat some of the letters, put some strokes or curves in the wrong places and turned others either backward or upside down. I need your help with these. I won't do all of them but if you can turn these upside down and call them the same name then I might be able to understand what you're trying to say... q, n, w, p. The simple fact that I get different letters by changing absolutely nothing structurally about these letters and still get different letters if I turn them upside down then I have to call them different names. Maybe you call this (d) an upside down 'q' but to everyone I know it's the letter 'd.' Just the inversion makes them different. I'm not sure about your Jheri curl knowledge but I could never stand a Jheri curl in my hair for the simple fact that it has to be maintained wet. It's the only reason I wouldn't get one... well, and I don't know if it burns or if my hair would break off... so, three reasons. Not sure why you're referring to her technique as "so called" but you're right... "people should get their hair done anyway they choose," they should also pay whatever price they choose to get the "so called" technique they choose, if they believe it will make a positive difference in their lives. I really don't have time to "act like," so, you're on your own with this one darling. Stay safe.

So in these videos we are being told to fork over our 401Ks to a woman who is selling us a product that has the same chemicals as every other relaxer and/or comb threw texturizer on the market. Let's start trusting ourselves for once. Black Girl Magic y'all... we can do better than believing this. It's just a kiddie perm. #snakeoil
What were the products that she said we’re good for your hair for the after care? I would like to purchase some
Milbon hair products. The moisture replenishing line. Only sold in salons.
People just know how to take our coins boy....$500, $750, $900 for a Jheri....I mean Gina Curl?! Didn’t even switch up the name that much 🤣🤣🤣Don’t hop on the bandwagon before doing research✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾so glad @TwoLaLa brought this to our attention. Thanks!
I did my research, it's still the same chemical as a curly perm.
Gina! It's a Jheri Curl! Stop lying Ginaaa!
Thank you. She's banking on the fact that these girls are too young to remember the Jherri curl craze.
And she is just as wonderful when she calls you on the phone to schedule your visit. She is wonderful. I can't wait to meet her when I do my straight variation. Doggone pandemic is hindering me getting my do did!
@aallThingsLife, I guess she is SOOOOO WONDERFUL & SWEET so that she can CONVINCE you and many others to pay a RIDICULOUS PRICE for a GLORIFIED JHERI CURL LOL🤣😭 To ALTER the NATURAL STATE of your hair! Hell you might as well just do a TexLax if you want to loosen your curls or is this for people you don't have ANY CURLS @ ALL and want curls, HMMMM Who Knows 🤪 Anywho ENJOY, just my OPINION because I have the right to RESPOND to public COMMENTS! BLESSINGS 👼🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
@@mistyjones4816 Considering the cost of all my wigs and braids and hair products, if i just have to do this "glorified jheri curl" twice a year and my hair won't break and I CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY MY HAIR, i am fine with it.
She’s charging almost $1000 of course she would...... as a person who had a jeri curl in the 80’s this is just that. The technique is slightly different, but only slightly.... I will believe if she’s a stylist for black hair when I see other hairstyles and treatments. I only have seen her work with this chemical treatment only. No press and curl, wraps, silk press, etc. Her job is to sell it and she’s doing a good job of that. Something is off about her. Can’t put my finger on it. I have a white stylist who does all types of styles well.... black women can be so naive.
KCK ROX agreed there is something off not sure what
Question: how dose Gina curl work on low density thin or fine hair?
Dose she change the formula to a milder based on the hair density?
I’ve watch a videos about the Japanese perm and noticed in a retouching video they used a liquid to cover the processed hair and prove double processing. Dose the Gina curl have a similar method or is it just based on where the new growth ends?
I got the Gina curl done. I have medium density but my strands are fine. She can change the formula based on your hair. I think because of my density, on me she tried the standard formula first but the standard formula made my hair process super quickly so she washed that out and used the softer/not as strong formula for my hair and that worked better. She made a note for me so that next time I come she knows to use the softer formula. My hair is great, I’ll probably do a straight variation next time, but my hair is manageable, it’s soft and even with 3 months of new growth I don’t have breakage, no line of demarcation, still pretty simple to detangle. If you want a chemical in your hair - I recommend Gina Curl.
I really appreciate Gina’s knowledge and decades of experience. I enjoyed hearing about how she got her start with black hair care and I can tell she is a genuine sweet heart. Plus I love old school healthy hair stylists. I’ve seen Gina’s work in Titi Lavish’s videos and her hair is long, healthy and amazing. Anyone who believes this is just a Jheri curl is delusional. Thanks to you guys and Gina for making this informative video.
@ NCA, She said it's the SAME DAMN CHEMICALS so who's really DELUSIONAL here 🤷🏽♀️!! Lawd Have MERCY🤦🏽♀️!! If USING CHEMICALS are the ONLY WAY she CAN MAINTAIN Black Natural Hair to RETAIN LENGTH/HEALTH that's NOT SAYING MUCH since she's so KNOWLEDGEABLE abt Black Hair Care 🤔
Misty Jones First of all, calm down. This is the last thing anyone should be so angry about. It’s just hair. This is a chemical that many women (black, white, Asian, Latina, etc.) choose to use on their hair. She uses a unique process with this chemical for black women’s hair and actually had a healthy result. If you don’t want that, or think it’s just a Jheri curl then don’t watch her videos. It’s making you too upset. Lol
@Celeste Shui 🤣😂
@@mistyjones4816 😂💀
Licensed cosmetologists especially black licensed cosmetologist are very on edge with this because it’s really nothing new and it seems like another rip off in the black community. She pretty much dissed wave nouveau, and other chemically curled hair systems when she said (2:52) “I refused to do wave nouveau, carefree…because I knew what it was gonna do to the hair.” It’s her competitions on top of that they were created by a black man. If she can diss it like that when her system does the same…I’m truly speechless
Oh girl, since this video, she now has black licensed cosmetologists doing the Gina Curl . Your point isn't completely invalid but you need to come with a little more next time. Alot of y'all on here are defending the jheri curl created by a white man who back then overpriced it for black hair as well. ( Mostly wealthy people clebs back then could afford it.) You don't even bring up Comer Cottrell a black man who came and made his own version of the jheri curl affordable. So please don't come on here making this about white and black until you know your own history. Ed Gardner, cool but don't forget Comer. And who knows..maybe we'll have our own Comer Cottrell of this day and age, but y'all (not you specifically) are so busy hating instead of gettin to work and making it happen.Being speechless isn't a bad thing girl! keep doing it. When you operate in the spirit of hush, you'd be surprised and what your actions produce. :)
@@twolala1 Are y’all stupid or dumb?
You said a lot of nothing.
What you do Google those historic facts?
Focus on the point at hand.
At the end of the day she insulted and lied on wave nouveau and care free curl technique, which btw has black/brown founders.
She explained how her system differed from the original Jherri curl- a system that was discontinued by all practicing stylists decades ago-but didn’t explain the difference between her system and wave nouveau and care free curl.
Instead she lied on wave nouveau and care free curl bc she stated that during wave nouveau and carefree curl chemical is applied at the beginning to straighten the hair as well as after the perm rods have been inputted into the hair, which is not true. The only thing that is applied to the hair after perm rods have been put in during wave nouveau or care free curl is neutralizer for oxidation.
Is it possible her instructors did not teach her how to properly do the wave nouveau or care free curl because no knowledgeable stylist reapplies “more chemical” to the hair shaft after the perm rods are set when doing the wave nouveau or care free curl nor do they apply chemical to already processed hair.
Black people have been getting what she now calls a Gina curl for decades, whilst also keeping healthy hair. It’s disrespectful for her to insult and lie on the techniques of wave nouveau and care free curl to boost her brand.
Y’all are annoying and if you don’t like Gina or you feel like she’s targeting black women negatively...simply don’t support her business.
Girl, people are so pressed about hair that doesn't even belong to them.
TwoLaLa foreal!!
And you're right!!
I need a gina curl. Please help me to find a person to do my hair? I have been watching your video's and Thank you for sharing. This is good information.
She'll be training other stylists to do it, but for now, Gina is the only one licensed to do it
How do I get a Gina curl ??😩❤️
@@aerialeden I have her info in the description. She answers all her emails at gina@hairstalent.com
@@aerialeden as of now, Gina is the only person in the world doing her technique, so the only way to get a Gina curl is to take that trip to Connecticut. If your willing to wait a while, you can wait to see if any stylist in your area will get certified.
What do you put on it afterwards? Do you still have to wear the jerry juice? Is it greasy at all?
Why would she use more product when you have longer hair if she’s only applying it to new growth? That new growth is always going to be about the same amount every 6 months. Right?
I think she meant on virgin hair. So for your first service.
Hello, I'm asking if I already did the jheri curl, wave nouveau, care free curl process, can I do the Gina curl without cutting off my hair? Can you please reply as soon as possible.
I’m guessing you def can, it’s literally the same process. And, anyone who has ever gotten a wave nouveau from a good stylist, they also only process your new growth.
I don't think so...
do you have to keep getting the gina curl or can you stop but will you have to cut it or transition it?
Your new growth will always grow in natural. So if you no longer want the Gina curl then you just transition back to Natural.
Gina is amazing and what she does for people is even more amazing. But the price is ridiculous and the fact that it increases as your hair grows is even more ridiculous. It should be affordable and she would get even more clients. There’s no reason she should be charging over 200 dollars.
Jerry curl 🤪
Wow I think she was very transparent with her answers & sincere! She’s been doing this since the 70s & I like that she is clear about what chemicals are not good & thanks for the tips - I’ll be honest I had a white hair dresser only cut my hair & it probably was the best cut yet- my hair was swinging !!!!
Extremely transparent. Look, as long as they can work with my hair and not jack it up, we're good...lol
Where is part 1?
Sorry here it is ruclips.net/video/pyjVdTTNVCw/видео.html
If I color my hair, can I get a Gina Curl? I need them gray hairs colored girl
Yes you can, but there is a certain level of permanent color that you can't use with your Gina curl. I'm not sure what it is, you would have to ask Gina. Other than that, semi permanent colors, and henna colors are more then acceptable.
You may want to research maintenance for Japanese straightening perms, it is similar.
Gina/Jeri curl same thing! The difference is there's a neutralizer still being placed on your hair however instead of putting them on the poem rods she's putting it directly on your hair, Gina perm rods your hair which is why you're under the dryer to set the curl. Also with Jeri Curls you had to cut off any previously permed hair as well! Talk to any Stylist that did Jeri curls back in the day they'll tell you Gina curl is nothing but the Jeri curl.
But…you just explained the difference between them. How can they be the exact same thing if you just stated their differences? You and Gina are saying the exact same thing. Sounds like y’all are in the same page with this.
She loves black hair so much, she wants to change it
Black women have different reasons for wanting certain services for their hair. That’s the beauty of black hair. She saw an opportunity and went for it. At least she took the time to learn about our hair.
Doe you use activator with the Gina curl?
She said the chemicals are the same, only difference is 600.00 dollars
Is Gina planning on selling the chemical in stores? Relaxers aren’t the safest but people do it at home. Would love to try to do this myself as I know a lot about hair.
Hawaiian Silky been out! 😂
GINA CURL UPDATE!! It's happening!!! So GINA is NOT gonna be the only one doing the Gina Curl anymore..she's finally launching her course TOMORROW to train stylists to do the Gina Curl, so that people don't have to travel to CT to get it done. Here is the sign up link if you know stylists in your area..I tag Lesia! hairstalent.com/stylists/
ruclips.net/video/5NiTaE7cbH4/видео.html , your two hair is health, please watch the video damage this does if done ruclips.net/video/5NiTaE7cbH4/видео.html , I have license like this lady and this is done incorrectly. Education is powerful , get ready and started over
Can ur hair come back fully naturalif u want to take a break for a few years? Do u cut off the gina curl party? What will happen to the gina curl part?
Your hair will blend with your Gina curl. You will not have a line of demarcation, even with the 2 textures. Your Gina curl hair will always be there, until it eventually gets trimmed off , but you wont have any problems retaining your length with your 2 textures. They actually blend into each other, no matter what level of 4C you naturally grow. I love mine.
@@sherryguest615 So you trying to LEAD her 2 BELIEVE that your NATURAL 4C or 4whatever new growth just BLENDS RIGHT IN, I'll WAIT 🤔 Because if that's the case why get it in the first place and why get a TOUCH UP IF IT "BLENDS" RIGHT IN 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@ the dolphin 🐬22, I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU EXERCISE USING SOME COMMON SENSE however I REALIZE in some cases IT'S NOT COMMON 🙏🏽
Misty Jones exactly what I’m thinking. Like if it blends in, why bother getting it in the first place???
@@mistyjones4816 you will have 2 different textures in your hair, but It will be alot easier to manage, and it doesn't break off.
How about we just learn to take care of our hair in its natural state instead of paying over $600 for a hair texture that isn’t ours to begin with? I’m all for women doing what makes them happy! This is a Genuine question❤️❤️❤️
Right!! I would NEVA, I WISH I WOULD pay this white woman or anyone else to alter my BEAUTIFUL NATURAL HAIR and for that amount of money💰 rather I have it or not!!! THE DEVIL😈 IS A LIE 🤦🏽♀️👍🏽
Anywho like you said whatever makes them happy, to each their own! I just feel as if they haven't truly learned to LOVE their God given hair and if such is the case that's cool as well, just say so!!
Girl bye
Celeste Shui extremely embarrassing!!! Wake up my people!! WAKE UP!!!
This was a much better way to discuss the Gina Curl than your part 1 of this video segment. I'm really glad to see that you interviewed Gina about her own product instead of the speculative approach you took in Part 1. Kudos to you both! And major Kudos to Gina Rivera, my personal hair care specialist and will continue to be until she retires. I am a Gina Curl girl for life! And now everyone knows Gina Rivera is the real deal! As you heard and saw in this video Gina Rivera has been keeping it real since the 70s... And about the price issue, I spent 10 hours getting my Gina Curl done by Gina and her assistant (4C mid-neck length hair). When I average the cost of doing my hair by two people working on it, its less than I make per hour. You can read more about my Gina Curl experience on Part 1 of this segment if you care to. But for me, Hands down, the Gina curl is the best decision I have ever made for my hair!
Gina Rivera and the Gina Curl..are the real deal! Can't wait to go back next week for my retouch, 10 months after my first Gina Curl...yeah...it's that good...seriously. My hair is long and strong, past my shoulders and should be at near mid- back level when I go back for my second retouch next January or February.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to see that you, along with other women really like it. Alot of our videos are either research, learning, or both. We were learning about the Gina Curl because we were intrigued by it. We also we constantly asked about our take on it, so we did a video on it, hence part 1. We're proud of our first video ( not necessarily some of the comments), it was a video showing us trying to understand what this new service is and sharing it as well. Without part 1, we wouldn't have part 2 which we are equally as proud of because we were able to speak to Gina, who we can tell, is such an amazing human being as well as a great hairstylist :)
Yes I love Gina! I’ve been watching her for years. I graduated from Cosmetology school back in 96 and I know that Gina knows her stuff no question to that!
So its $950, I hear. Does anyone know who does this for less?
If anyone else is doing the Gina curl right now, it's probably bootleg, so I'd be careful about people , other than her, claiming they know how to do it. She hasn't trained anyone just yet and she's the only one licensed to do it.
@@twolala1 I have microlocs so I'm not planning to do this method but out of curiosity, where did the license for this particular method come from? Did she license herself? Is it (or will it be) like the sisterlocks brand where there are paid certifications? Thank you in advance for the answers! 💜💜💜
@@AlllSmiless This is a technique that she herself made up, so her ability to do her own technique qualifies her. When she trains other hairdressers to do her technique, and she is satisfied with their ability to do it correctly, she will certify them to preform her technique on their clients.
If this is like the jeri curl.... there is no reason it should be $950... she found some suckas and she’s cashing out🤷🏽♀️
@@sherryguest615 Oh wow, I totally forgot I had made this comment, I actually looked it up myself after commenting so I'll post what I can remember here for anyone interested! So the chemicals, from my understanding, are similar (if not identical) to those in the Japanese hair straightening. You cannot just "get a licence" or "give a licence" for any random old method. However the are certain certificate that ppl can get after becoming a licensed cosmologists. I'm sure more detailed guidelines will come out about what the actual plan is from Gina herself once she gets it together. I hope that helped! 💜
Ladies That was the only program of yours that I've ever watched. I wanted to hear about the product that
we were so happy to pay $600 dollars. I concede that the result seems to be a good one for most people.
The first thing I heard whatever she said and then I'm white. I heard the spill about how she got started. It's ok if people want to spend $600 for a hair doo. Their Money. But then I heard I put a style or a product in their hair that grows it. Ok. The next thing I really heard is when it grows I charge more. I'd like to know what she meant
when she said it is a product from Japan or a Japanese product and her procedure. I know that we buy Japanese
cause it's cheap. Still, whoever is willing to pay her $100 dollars an hour it's their money I really don't have a problem with that(well) let us just say it's none of my business. If she was really in the know why did she sell
one of her most avid fans something that would damage her hair so badly? This is a woman that prides her-self
with knowing black hair. You're right she didn't make it but she sold it to the young lady off of her shelf. Did she
never look at the ingredients to see if it would be a problem? To sum up my problem with Gena, I think that it's the so what I make your hair grow attitude and when I heard I'll charge you more the next time because of it. I was floored. I don't know what you have done on your other shows but I do know when you said I love her already and then you finished with that black hairdresser comment. Why? Every time I think about her biggest fan scraping up money to travel to get her hair done and have to unknowing pay an extra $200 because her hair grew an inch and none of it fell out, what is that?? Ok, everyone, it was put out there and I commented. I mean none of you ill will. I will only say, do you.
I love Gina! She’s my hairdresser. I only go to her and she does a great job on my hair! Good video
That's awesome! I see alot of videos with ladies who get the Gin curl and they love it
Love my clients!!
Please let us know if the smell is the same. Wave Nouvo, Geri Curly always had a smell. Does this smell?
It’s al thio perms don’t let her play you. The cream that you straighten the hair with is the same liquid that is applied after you straighten the hair. Look on the cream then look on the curl booster or whatever your using. All same chemical. So if your chose to just roll the perm rods after using the cream you could just like she is doing. No way would she get 600 for a thio perm and the jury is out on her story about black hair. I’m a old ass lady she ain’t foolin me she might playing with your young girls but she ain’t playing me. It’s the same thing a thio Perm
She is just omitting the 2nd step. She is just doing step 1 & 3
"High-quality" chemicals...😂. This will be another Deva Curl and Rio lawsuit in the next 2-3 years.
I'll be tuning in too. Lol
She is still using the same technique that the creator of the Gheri Curl created. Im happy that she styles our hair, and every hair stylist should be able to do all hair types. However, it sounds like a Gheri Curl. She is making her customers happy, and I guess that's all that matters.
Hey thanks for the video. Just for clarity, once you get the Gina Curl you can no longer do braids, twist and such the like? Any whose, thank you Gina for sharing and thank you Ladies. 🧚🏿♂️
No you can still do everything you do with your natural hair
I heard you aren’t supposed to braid your hair. This girl did after the Gina girl and her hair became damaged
The only difference is the technique.
I am very confused, I am at the salon now and my stylist says that she uses the same technique to apply Jheri curl for $60. This is crazy. I pray that I find a white technique, repackage it and sell it back to white people. Black people need to unite, a girl at the salon was complaining about paying $800 for an infusion but would not complain about a Gina curl. Wow, my stylist says white women pay her a $1000 and never complain, lets treat each other better.
Jheri Curl IS a white technique
Honestly, the video felt informative. However, it seemed odd for you all to give her this platform for a product that you don’t have in your hair. I would’ve like to hear personal experience from someone who actually has the gina curl.
I'm glad you somewhat caught on to the point of this video--informative. On our channel, we highlight salons that give options for black women's hair. Our subscribers aren't just relaxed and straight hair, they're natural with curly and other textures. So every now and then we'll highlight salons /services that provide options for them too so they can know what's out there. There are a ton of videos with women who got the Gina Curl and they love it. If I haven't linked them, I'll link it in a bit. :)
Great video glad you guys found gina shes amazing! Love her!!! Shes my stylist
Really? That’s awesome!!!
2 thumbs 👍👍 up Ladies for an awesome, professional and informative interview with Ms. Gina...🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Peace and Blessings from Atlanta
Thanks so much. Faith!
I was wondering if I can brush my Gina Curl hair?
Any hair service is priced by TIME, expertise, & products. The same way you pay $800 to get your car fixed & the part is on $30 - the $770 is labor (diagnosing the problem, taking your car apart, fixing the problem & reassembling the car). Not sure how long it takes for a Jheri curl, wave nouveau, or other curly perm but I suspect if it’s less money, is less TIME in the chair. All skilled tradespersons are charging for their TIME, products, & expertise. I saw on another video where the young lady said it took 8 hours for her Gina curl. EIGHT hours? Okay, I don’t know on what planet anyone expects to take up 8 hours of a stylists time & not pay for that. Someone can let me know which planet that is cuz it ain’t on earth ... 🤣🤣🤣
Who cares about her race? Can she do my hair or not?! That’s what matters people. Technique is everything, if anything we need to encourage other races to learn our hair so we have more options on where we go to do our hair. I know personally I can’t find any hair stylist by me that can do my hair 🤷🏽♀️ they don’t “specialize” in black hair. We need more people like her, that not only love black hair but understand it! 👏🏾
Thanks for doing this, I am a Gina Curl client and I can attest to everything she said. Once this pandemic is over I will be getting my first retouch which is long over due. Gina and her entire staff are wonderful, straight forward honest people. I would not drive 7.5 hours and spend that kind of money for nothing. I'm Canadian, so for me it's a hell of a lot of money.
Btw love the video but the music was distracting.
Yes she's very thorough and so nice of her to go into detail about what she's doing. We'll be more careful to make sure the music isn't super loud next time :)
The doctor here in Virginia was the sweetest person that care for his clients as well. Everyone had nothing but the nice, complimentary things to say about him. Yes, he was on the news for giving close to 500 unnecessary surgeries to unsuspecting women. However, they all loved him though. He's about to do a lot of prison time right now. Also, remember when people can get tons of money out of you, how do you expect them to treat you? Especially when their scamming you.

Thanks for info
So the Jheri Curl came out in 1970. Gina came out in 1985 tell me she didn’t patent a style that people were already doing already done?
