Why Gina Yates is a Must-See at HAIR The Movement
“While judging the Fame Team competition last year, I was absolutely captivated by Gina’s precision cutting skills. It’s easy to see why so many in the industry are calling her the ‘next big thing.’ When it came time to choose educators for the men’s cutting section, Gina was my first choice without hesitation. In a world where technical skills can sometimes get overshadowed by unorthodox trends (hello, TikTok!), Gina’s expertise with a pair of scissors is nothing short of inspiring. I can’t wait for you to witness her talent firsthand.” Sharon Blain
