The sound "j" is pronounced as a "y", so you have to double the sound "i" in "guillain".

The last sound, "ain", is transcripted by a "ε" with a tilde ("~") on it (see dictionary). It sounds like in "vin" (wine)

Note from asker:
Céline, in the first part of the name [gijε], is "j" like "zh" as in “jasmin” or "j" as in the English word "just"? And what is “ε” more like “o” or “e”?
