Hi, my name is Ashley. 

I graduated from the Aveda Institute Los Angeles in 2016, set out to find my place in the beauty world. Just months later, I stepped into one of the top salon–spas in LA as an apprentice, surrounded by powerhouse women who poured their knowledge, technique, and passion into me. After a year of soaking up everything I could, I spread my wings and spent the next three years mastering body waxing between Culver City and Brentwood—truly in my element, and loving every minute of it.

When the world shifted with the pandemic, so did I. I found myself back at the Aveda Institute, this time on the other side of the classroom, guiding future estheticians as an instructor. Teaching was meaningful, but I missed the hands on work. And so, I made my way back to where it started: doing what I love, with a renewed sense of purpose.

Eventually,  I found my way to a charming private brow studio in Santa Monica, a place that became a real turning point in my growth. Over the course of three years, I sharpened my craft and expanded my expertise. I was learning how to thread and mastering lash lifts. After a full year of practice, I finally introduced threading to my clients, and it quickly became one of my favorite services, especially for those who can’t wax.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Waxing, though, has always been second nature to me. I started at just fifteen, trading practice sessions with my older sister. This was back in the days before YouTube tutorials—so you can imagine the chaos, the trial and error, and the unforgettable messes we made! But those early experiments sparked the passion that still motivates me today.

I believe everyone’s brows are as unique as their face, and I love taking the time to honor that. Before every service, I offer a personalized consultation so we can talk through your brow goals together. I use light mapping during each waxing or threading session to create balance and precision, and photos of your natural brows are always a wonderful reference.

What I cherish most about working in the beauty space is that while technology constantly evolves, nothing compares to the power of skilled hands and a thoughtful touch. My goal is always to help you feel and look your very best.

Outside the studio, you’ll find me connecting with friends and family, lounging with my two cats, or taking peaceful walks by the ocean. Yoga and holistic wellness are two of my ongoing passions, and over the past few years I’ve loved exploring the world of loose-leaf teas.

I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your self-care journey.
