Ginger Bay Salon & Spa operates as an employee-based, full-service salon and day spa aligned with the Aveda brand, offering services across hair design, color, extensions, massage, facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures, and makeup for men and women. The business is based in Kirkwood, Missouri, and expanded to a second location in Town & Country in 2011. Founded in 1991, it has been led by Laura A. Ortmann since 2008, who serves as owner and CEO. Unlike many salons that rely on independent contractors, Ginger Bay employs its staff directly and provides comprehensive training across technical, customer service, and retail disciplines. It operates as an open book management company, regularly sharing financial information to support staff financial literacy. The organization emphasizes a broad benefits package and opportunities for ongoing education and tenure recognitions.
