Gina Forestieri was born November 6th, 1976. Born and raised in New York City, she was surrounded by the creative arts. Her mother, an accomplished artist and painter has been her focus and inspiration. Her father, a world talented pianist filled her with the confidence to be self made like her parents.
Gina moved to Las Vegas and then on to Los Angeles. Gina attended Fairfax High school in Hollywood.
Since childhood, Gina has always been an extremely creative, driven, gregarious and hard working individual.
A love of hair started at a very young age for Gina, doing friends hair for fun and when need for dances, parties and any other crazy rocker whim friends of Ginas could dream up. Gina enjoys working with her hands in other ways too, making miniatures out of clay, baking, and sewing. She’s always busy creating and making people around her happy.
When Gina was finally able to put herself though beauty school, she worked a full time job knowing that her dream was within reach.
After working at a few salons, Gina found her place with Christopher Hall as her mentor. She has enjoyed so much success working along side such an experienced and talented hairdresser.
Gina, along with the Splitends staff, has built the best salon in Orange County, the richest market in the world.
