Gina Pickett

Gina Pickett owns G Hair Lounge in Tempe, where she also works as a stylist. She has spent more than 17 years in hair, including time at several salons before opening her own space. She started G Hair Lounge as a salon meant to make clients of every background, hair type and texture feel at home.

Her listed roles are color specialist and hair extension artist. For over seven years she has also taught hair color for Matrix L'Oréal. Dimensional, lived-in color and hair extensions are her core focus, though she offers other services as well.

She keeps her skills current by taking courses in more demanding color and extension methods, a minimum of a few sessions each year. Each visit opens with a consultation about the client's hair goals, along with conditioning and upkeep. She also chooses the music for each appointment based on the client.
