Gina Easton

Gina, known for her perpetual smile, leads the Hairstylist program at VIU’s Cowichan Trades Center and is no stranger to the notion of mentoring and educating.  Upon obtaining her Hairdressing certification through VIU (then Malaspina College) in 1993, she ran her own salon for many years, during which time she mentored many apprentices prior to joining the VIU instructional team in 2013.  Gina holds her Provincial Instructor Diploma as well as Red Seal certification. Gina enjoys training and preparing students for competing in Skills Regional, Provincial and National Competitions. 

When she’s not teaching, Gina loves spending time with her large Italian family and friends.
