Have you met this gem of a human? Her name is Summer, and after finishing school in Miami, Florida, she came aaaaaall the way to Portland to join the Ginger team. (Okay, fine. maybe that wasn’t her main reason for coming here, but we’re so glad she found us!)
Q: Tell us about yourself!
A: My hair will be a different color almost every time you see me–can’t stop, won’t stop. My absolute favorite thing to do with hair is use creative/vivid colors!
Q: What inspired you to become a hairstylist?
A: I’ve been getting my hair done since I was nine years old, so the salon has been a part of my life for a long time! I always knew I needed to do something creative and hands-on, and hair just made sense.
Q: What are you most looking forward to about working with the Ginger community?
A: It’s been great to already have such an established place in the community and to have new clients sit in my chair trusting my work since they trust Ginger!
Q: What would your superpower be?
A: Having invincible hair so I could dye it every color I want without it ever breaking off!
Q: Where are your favorite Portland hangouts (think pre- and post-pandemic)?
A: I love hitting up any of the many vegan food carts/restaurants in town.
Q: Let's talk about our tagline--"We don't just love hair, we love people." How do you see Ginger being authentic to that and how do you bring it to life?
A: I enjoy connecting with people and getting to provide much-needed relaxation and self-care. I think we all could use it, these last few years especially.
Q: With spring right around the corner, we have to ask: What is the best red to embrace the season?
A: I'd say bright copper or strawberry blonde. You still have all the brightness for spring but with that little extra pizazz of the red tones.
