Found Ashley on a whim through Google, and honestly? Best random decision ever. She killed my haircut my hair feels insanely healthy and looks so fresh. She is really good at what she does, but what made the whole thing even better is how easy she is to vibe with. Super chill, good convo, no awkward moments just an all-around great experience. Already excited to come back and get my color done. If youre even thinking about booking with her, just go for it. You wont regret it.

I recently moved to North Carolina and had been struggling to find a hair stylist - until now! Ashley is an absolute gem. From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel so comfortable, like I was catching up with an old friend. Her warmth and easygoing nature made the appointment fly by.
She went above and beyond, taking the time to perfect every detail and even styling my hair beautifully afterward. I cant recommend her enough!
