The "Lesbian-Owned, Oregon-Obsessed" Ginger Salon

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 5:03 PM

Deanna Everson, a Banks, Oregon native who spent many years trotting around the country only to return to her home state, describes herself as "obsessed with Oregon." She just opened Ginger Salon, and she's using it not just to cut, color, deep condition, and wax hair, but to showcase her loyalty to the state:

Our business goal is to make Portland a world destination for hair, fashion, art and food. The salon showcases all of Portland's finest from organic Northwest coffee and wine from Dundee Vineyards to our revolving exhibition of Northwest artists, regionally published magazines and Portland native hairstylists. We strive to bring the best that Portland has to offer to all of our clients.

I have to say that when the increased consciousness of every dollar spent, businesses like this that traffic obsessively in all things local are more appealing than ever. Couple that with supporting a queer-owned business and you are really tuned into the zeitgeist.
