Ashley is the absolute BEST! I've trusted her with my hair for almost 15 years now, and she never disappoints. The atmosphere in the salon is laid back and relaxing. Ashley really listens to what your looking for, provides her expert advice/recommendations and always makes you feel comfortable. Trust her with your hair journey!! You won't be disappointed :-)

I scheduled with Ashley based on a recommendation from my sister. I wanted something a little different, a violet blush dimensional color all over. I attempted to do it myself at home but it wasnt what I wanted, so I went to Ashley in hopes to fix it. She provided me with a thorough consultation and began my color transformation. I appreciated her honesty when my highlights didnt tone to the exact color I was hoping for. She took me back to the shampoo bowl and toned my highlights again until they were the perfect color violet pink for my liking. Ashley is amazing with color and really wants to make your hair dreams come true!

This was the first salon Ive ever been to so I was pretty nervous and unsure of exactly what I wanted to do to my hair. Ashley was extremely helpful in providing different ideas for what to do and ultimately we decided on doing a balayage!! The results were better than I could have ever imagined!! Shes a miracle worker!!!
