Ashley
CEO
At the salon since its inception in 2012, Ashley shares the knowledge she gained over the years by serving as our Director of Education. In this role she has created our training program for all of our New Talent. What does Ashley love the most about what she does... “I love that I can connect with someone through my expression of color, cut and styling. I don’t see this as a job I see it as a canvas to problem solve and create art.” Just like her fictional icon, Daenerys Targaryen, she values trust and is intensely determined. We are glad she has found her creative home here.
