Deanna Everson built a hair salon. Then, she built something bigger.

Jill Habrich didn’t just open a business. She invested in her community.

At Ginger & Maude Hair Salons, “purpose-driven” isn’t a buzzword, it’s a business practice. We don’t just love hair, we love people, and even more than that, we love supporting people. We show up for the communities we serve—in dollars, hours, and heart.

Here are the organizations we’ve supported so far this year:
