I needed my hair extensions back in for an event but also I missed having them in. This was my first time meeting Ashley and it was truly amazing. It was like I was just hanging out with a bunch of my girlfriends. She made me feel very comfortable and she killed it on my hair. Def recommend!!!!

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.

Ashley is the best! Over the many years as my stylist shes done highlights, lowlights, foilyage, and balayage as well as cuts from just a dusting to layers. No matter what I get it always looks great and she does a fantastic job making sure I get the results I want while keeping my hair healthy without sacrificing the length I like. Ashley is a color expert and I wont let anyone else touch my hair but her. Plus side - shes a great listener and SO fun to talk to!

I've been driving an hour away to Cary, NC for Ashley to do my balayage and hand-tied extensions. She's been doing my hair for 10 years now and when I moved, there was no way I was leaving her! Ashley is up to date on modern trends and is more than fairly priced.

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!

Plus, she's super friendly and makes the whole experience enjoyable. If you want stunning hair, Ashley is your girl!
