Purpose-Driven Hair Salon Franchise is Changing the Hair Salon Industry

Ginger & Maude® Hair Salons Create Positive Change in the Hair Salon Industry and Their Communities Through Their Inclusive Practices, Employee Support and Authentic Neighborhood Approach.

PORTLAND, Ore. // FranchisePR.com // April 07, 2026 — Ginger & Maude® Hair Salons are a collection of boutique hair salons established on a foundation of radical acceptance and a vision for stronger communities. Purpose-driven and woman-owned, the franchise has long been dedicated to leading positive change, implementing numerous policies and practices aimed toward benefiting their clients and employees, community members and the environment.

This includes:

• Becoming North America’s first B Corp™ hair salon.
• Partnering with Green Circle Salons to reduce the amount of beauty waste going into landfills.
• Introducing size-inclusive salon chairs and designing size-inclusive cutting capes.
• Implementing a gender-neutral pricing based on service time rather than gender.
• Training hairstylists to care for all hair types competently and respectfully.
• Creating service options geared toward inclusivity and reducing client anxiety, such as the Silent Service, which removes the pressure clients often feel to keep up a conversation while they are in the salon, and the Mirrorless Service, which has the client faced away from the mirror.
• Giving back to the community through donations and volunteering.
• Paying all employees a living wage, offering health and disability benefits, giving paid time off and paid, self-chosen holidays.

“It’s not just about hair for us,” says Deanna Everson, Founder and President of Ginger & Maude. “Our hair salons are a space for community building, personal care and a sense of belonging — folks can express their identity and know they will be accepted and celebrated. For anyone who hasn’t felt welcomed or safe in other salons, Ginger & Maude Hair Salons are the place they can
find that.”

Through franchising, they hope to further their mission while helping like-minded entrepreneurs start their own successful hair salon business.
