Gina SHIFLETT
I grew up in the hair industry working with my mother, who owned her own business. I started cleaning the salon and shampooing hair at a very young age. I have fond memories of this time in my life because I loved being with my mother, and since she worked all the time, that is how I was able to spend time with her.
Honing my craft and working in the same field since I was a child has given me the status of expert and is most likely how I was voted by Atlanta Magazine as “Atlanta’s Best Men’s Hairdresser” while working at the prestigious Van Michael Salon in Buckhead. While employed at Van Michael’s for nearly two decades, I truly learned the art of hairdressing. As one of the busiest salons in the country, customer service was of paramount importance to the culture. I also worked in a few other salons in the Buckhead area, including the acclaimed VIS-À-VIS and Stan Milton. In addition, I have trained extensively at Vidal Sassoon in California and London.
In 2001, I had one of those life-changing experiences: a car accident that left me with a lot of recovery time. I thought it was a great time to come to the beach and begin my healing process. It was then that I fell in love with the magic of Highway 30-A in Florida and the beautiful beaches here. I decided at that time to escape the madness of Atlanta’s traffic and move here to open, a small boutique salon. The business was blessed from the very first day, opening with a full book of clients.
My biggest talent is my passion for what I do. Practice truly makes perfect, but it is more than that. I really enjoy making people feel good, to give them a boost and help them to be their best. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends. I am proud that my boutique salon has been recognized by Elle magazine as one of their Top 100 nationally multiple times; and the products we use further promote our standards of beauty from the inside out.
In addition to hairdressing, I am a long time practitioner of Transcendental Meditation and am certified as a yoga teacher. I have also received the highest possible accolades as an energy practitioner. I have been a seeker for many decades.
Through my exploration of these practices, I have been fortunate to travel nationwide and overseas to further expand my personal knowledge and in doing so, the ability and desire to share these teachings and experiences with others to tap in to the beauty within us all, helping others to reach their highest potential. In February of 2019, I traveled to the opening celebration of the Shaktii Dhaam ashram in Varanasi, India and the Kumbh Mela. The Kumbh Mela is the largest spiritual gathering in the world. These practices, experiences, and travels keep me alive, well, and excited! My purpose is to empower you to tap into your crown chakra of wisdom.
