Ginger Kelley – Owner
Ginger Kelley is a proud Asheville, North Carolina native who has had the privilege of watching Western North Carolina grow and evolve over the years. As the aesthetics industry began to flourish in Asheville, Ginger pursued her passion by attending Blue Ridge Community College, where she graduated in 2007 with a degree in Aesthetics. That same year, she earned her initial Eyelash Extension Certification and became the first professional in Asheville to offer individual eyelash extension services.
Her dedication to excellence in the beauty industry quickly set her apart, earning her the title of WNC’s #1 Esthetician for an impressive 13 consecutive years. While completing her Cosmetics Arts Associate Degree at AB Tech in 2010, Ginger recognized a need for a specialized beauty bar focused on high-quality lash services. This vision led to the creation of Posh Lash Lounge in 2015.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily closed Posh for 10 weeks, but upon reopening, Ginger returned with renewed passion and determination, expanding the business into Asheville’s first full-service Beauty Bar. Following Hurricane Helene, her vision evolved once again, transforming the space into Asheville’s first Head Spa Day Spa, further elevating the client experience with innovative wellness-focused services.
Ginger holds licenses in Cosmetology and Aesthetics and is a Licensed Permanent Makeup (PMU) and Paramedical Tattoo Artist. She specializes in 3D nipple-areola tattooing and camouflage tattooing for stretch marks and scars, offering restorative and confidence-boosting treatments to her clients.
An innovator at heart, Ginger’s passion for the beauty industry is matched by her warm, welcoming spirit. Her keen eye for detail and years of expertise help every guest feel comfortable, cared for, and completely at ease during their experience at Posh.
