A dark salon at night: a row of green styling chairs and backlit mirrors, eucalyptus in a vase, a single station glowing warm

Thirty five years. Two salons. One standard.

We often say we are not in the business of haircuts, nails, facials and massage.

We are in the business of changing the way our guests feel about themselves when they walk out of our door.

Ginger Bay remains an escape and sanctuary of relaxation, wellness and beauty. Member of Intercoiffure America and Canada. An Aveda salon since day one.

Thirteen ways to book.
Price and time on each one.

Prices are starting points. A plus sign means the final price depends on your stylist's level, your hair length, or the treatment you choose. Add any service to your visit and it rides along to Meevo.
