I've been going to Ginger Group for many years. The staff and atmosphere are very warm and welcoming. The salon is always beautifully decorated for every season and makes you enjoy the time you spend there. I would highly recommend this salon, and my stylist Karen Cote in particular!

I have had cuts and colours from both Jane and Karen and have always left feeling fabulous and well cared for. Also, Krista is warm and fun, the whole experience feels like you are among friends.

It's pretty rare that I give a business a five star, but this little gem in the heart of Victoria deserves every one of them.
I was fortunate enough to get a last-minute cancellation which is quite rare with senior stylist June. She is a fantastic communicator, who used to teach and it definitely shows. She was able to give me a great assessment, understand what I wanted, was very clear on pricing, timing and options. And she and the rest of the staff were all incredible.
This felt like a hair appointment I'd had many years ago when the customer was the focus as opposed to the money or using customers as guinea pigs for Instagram accounts. Been there on both counts unfortunately.
From the moment I walked in I was greeted with kindness and humor, immediately made at ease. Offered a beverage and told where the washroom was, she even brought me some magazines while I was waiting. And I know this may seem like a no-brainer, but trust me the last four salons I've visited this attention to detail was lacking. June is an expert stylist, she did a fantastic job with my hair, I got highlights and a partial color correction and it came out beautifully. It came out exactly how I have wanted for years, but that the last four places I've been to did not replicate.
The salon is clean and modern, the stylists are talented and also aware of their timing, aware of their clients and doing all of that was a good nature and ability to obviously handle stress. I'm very fussy and clear about what I want and I got exactly that. All with a smile and great conversation.
I will be back and thank you to everybody!
PS, this photo is a still from a video which unfortunately you can’t upload but I think it shows the beautiful job with the highlights

So thrilled to have my hair cut by Jane Harrison. One of my friends hadn’t seen me for a few days and today she exclaimed “You’re hair! It’s gorgeous!!!

My friend got her hair cut here by a stylist named Larry. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.
1) Upon greeting my friend, Larry commented on her micro bangs, a style that’s very popular with our generation (Gen Z). He said “we’re you drunk when you did that to your hair?”
2) Larry obviously doesn’t know trending styles.
3) Larry cut off approx. 6-8 inches of hair upon telling him that she wanted to KEEP the length. She told him after the FIRST snip that it was “a lot of hair” and he said “just sit there”.
4) The way he communicated with my friend sounded like he was drinking on the job, as it was extremely disrespectful and he was very disorganized.
5) Larry did not dry or style her hair after cutting. She asked “so you’re not going to dry it or anything” and he said, “No. you can leave now.”
6) My friends hair is now so sloppy and unprofessional that she hasn’t been to her professional workplace in 4 days. She has been in bed and it has triggered a depressive episode.
In short: This is a salon for old people. No one younger than 26 should come here if you’re looking for something trending.
