We aredaymakers.

St. Louis's premier Aveda salon and spa since 1991. Thirty-five years, two locations, and twenty Salon Today Top 200 honors. We are not in the business of haircuts, nails, facials and massage. We are in the business of changing how you feel when you walk out our door.

We often say that we are not in the business of providing haircuts, nails, facials and massage. We are in the business of being daymakers, and changing the way our guests feel about themselves when they walk out of our door.
Laura Ortmann, CEO and Daymaker. Ginger Bay remains an escape and sanctuary of relaxation, wellness and beauty.

Same hours, same menu, same team spirit. Call or text either location, or book online in under a minute.

About your visit.

The short version of our guest policies. Questions are always welcome at info@gingerbay.com.

Booking and cancellation

Please give 24 hours' notice to cancel one or two services and 48 hours for a package of three or more. Late cancellations and no-shows carry a 25 percent service fee the first time and 100 percent after that.

Plan ahead: one to two weeks for mid-week, three to four weeks for weekends, six to twelve weeks for groups. New guests and all spa guests, please arrive 15 minutes early.

Deposits and card on file

A 50 percent deposit is required for two or more services and for high-value services such as keratin and extensions. New guests booking 30 minutes or more keep a card on file; guests with three or more services in 24 months are exempt until a first no-call, no-show.

Children and the spa

Children are welcome when scheduled for a service. For everyone's calm, guests under 14 are never in the spa, and body treatments are for guests 18 and over. Phones are silenced in the spa, and we serve no alcohol; please avoid it for 12 hours before a treatment.

Gratuities

Gratuities are not included. 15 to 20 percent is customary, by cash or card at checkout. Gratuity is added automatically for groups of five or more.

Returns and payment

Unopened product returns within 30 days with receipt. No refunds on opened product or worn boutique goods; items marked down 30 percent or more are final sale. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express; no personal checks.

Series cards and referrals

Buy three of the same service and the fourth is half price; buy six and the seventh is free. Series expire in 12 months and are non-transferable and non-refundable. Referral cards give you $10 off retail and your friend $10 off a first service.
