The Master Mentorship Experience
Real Education. Real Results.
Gemmina has seen the industry change in big ways—especially since 2020. Through it all, she’s stayed grounded in one truth: growth comes when you feel seen, equipped, and supported. Her mentorship style blends technical mastery with authentic connection. She won’t sugarcoat things, and she’ll always cheer you on.
Whether you're a new tech trying to find your voice or a seasoned artist wanting to raise your rates, book smarter, and polish your skills, Gemmina is the teacher and encourager you’ve been looking for.
When she’s not teaching, you can find Gemmina in her garden, thrifting with a vanilla latte in hand, or spending time with her five-year-old son, Theo—who, according to her, is both her favorite person and a total scene-stealer. She finds peace in quiet moments, loves a good home project, and doesn’t shy away from going against the trends (hello, maximalism!).
Her life outside the salon is deeply rooted in faith, family, and creating beauty in everyday routines—from fresh-cut flowers to a cozy reading nook with a warm cup of tea.
Whether you're a client in her chair or a student in her class, Gemmina’s energy is grounding, creative, and full of purpose.
Outside the Studio
““I believe continued education provides knowledge, and that becomes empowerment.
You deserve to feel highly skilled in running your financials, knowing your menu,
acknowledging your prices, and just being a badass business owner.” ”
