About us

Wild Ginger Beauty is a holistic boutique salon tucked in the heart of Curl Curl on Sydney’s Northern Beaches on Guringai Land.

In a world driven by speed, screens, and surface perfection, a powerful movement is quietly transforming the way we think about beauty.

Far beyond trends, holistic beauty is a powerful philosophy. 

Women gathering to nurture and support one another is a concept deeply rooted in history and cultures across the globe.

We are pro-aging and body positive. Lasting beauty comes from good health, self-confidence, and showing kindness to yourself and others. 

We only use honest-to-goodness products. The products we handpick to use and sell in our salon are chosen for quality, effectiveness, and gentleness on our planet. 

We believe self-care is for everyone.

We welcome people of all genders, races, sizes and ages to our salon to enjoy the benefits of treatments designed to nurture, relax, and rejuvenate. Beauty is diversity and you are welcome here just as you are.  

We provide the space to reset.

Take pause from the busyness of the outside world and reset your nervous system.  In the embrace of the salon, you will feel grounded, your cup refilled, ready to face the world again.

Hi, I’m Cara,

I’m an experienced beauty therapist and owner of Wild Ginger Beauty since 2018, first in Freshwater and now in Curl Curl.

With decades of experience working in the beauty and day spa space both in Australia and overseas, I knew it was time to do my own thing.

Driven by a desire to set up a salon that embraced diversity and authenticity, offered naturally derived, ethically created products, and advocated for self-acceptance and self-love, Wild Ginger Beauty was born.

It’s now my mission to support the beauty industry become more transparent, authentic, and inclusive.   

Welcome to the safe and nurturing space of the Wild Ginger Beauty salon.

PS. Follow us on Insta and Facebook. We are always evolving, and we love staying up-to-date with new skincare products and treatments.

Outside of work, my favourite things are hugs from my daughter, Sunday barbeques with my family, good coffee, and a good book.

I love massages, oceans swims, and the way my body feels after a good yoga class. My favourite way to shine with red lipstick and a touch of leopard print.

Holistic beauty integrates wellbeing with inner balance. More than a personal practice, it’s a cultural shift.

We’re consciously moving away from a superficial quick fix, toward routines that offer emotional, physical, and energetic support. 

We acknowledge the impact of texture, ritual, and physical beauty, grounded in the understanding that the skin reflects what is happening within.

We merge natural skincare, mental health, lifestyle and nutrition, into one meaningful whole.

We love supporting other local businesses, so if you are looking for something out of our area of expertise, we are happy to recommend a practitioner from our community of holistic therapists.
