I've been a licensed hair stylist since 2003, specializing in weddings, makeup, lashes, extensions, multi dimension coloring, cutting and bridal up-do's. I also graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2010 with a bachelors degree in business management, where I gained an understanding on the business aspect in this industry. My inspiration comes from my grandmother, who was a salon owner and stylist. The most rewarding part about my profession is sharing special moments with my client and the ability to help others feel and look incredible. It is what drives and motivates me each day!

veryone in my bridal party was able to show her a photo of what our thought was on a hair style and she delivered without any hesitation.
I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day thanks to Ashley! She made us all feel so comfortable and we enjoyed her presence and getting to know her. It felt like a friend was doing our hair and make up and that is something that is not easy to find.
Her prices were more than reasonable and she deserves all of the praises on her amazing work.
Ashley, I will always look back on my wedding day and think of you for creating the bridal look of my dreams! Thank you❤️

important days of my life. She was incredibly talented, professional, and so detail-oriented—every curl, every touch of makeup, every little detail was absolutely perfect.
Not only did she make me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, but she also made my bridesmaids look stunning as well. She listened so carefully to exactly what we wanted and brought it all to life even better than I imagined. My hair and makeup lasted beautifully all day and night, through every hug, every tear, and every dance!
She brought such a warm, positive energy to the morning, which made the entire getting-ready experience so special and stress-free. I am beyond grateful for her talent and kindness, and I would recommend her to any bride in a heartbeat. She truly helped make my wedding day unforgettable!

ck and it looked amazing. Come to the day of the wedding she had 7 people total to do hair and make up. She showed up at 10am and had us all done by 2:30. Everyone looked stunning, she did touch ups before she left. So professional, so friendly. She’s a girls girl. She got along with everyone so well and explained everything she was doing. She showed my MOH how to get my veil in and out of my hair and was so patient with us. I cannot recommend her enough. She is the most reasonably priced I have found anywhere in my area. Ashley Jo is simply amazing and her work shows. Thank you again for making everyone beautiful on my amazing day.

I was going for and within 15 minutes she had recreated exactly what I wanted. She let me know she would be able to get my hair done, as well as the bridesmaids’, my mother’s and mother-in-law’s. There was no reason to look anywhere else! In the weeks leading up to wedding I reached out to Ashley a few times with questions around hairstyles for the girls and the schedule for day of and she was always very helpful and reassuring. When my sister arrived the week before the wedding we went to see Ashley and she worked with us on getting extensions put in for the big day!
The day of the wedding, everything went perfectly! Ashley did hair for me, six bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law and three flower girls. As quickly as she works, she does not compromise on quality at all! I felt like an absolute princess and was so happy to have the flower girls running up to me to show off their pretty hair. Ashley recreated the styles everyone wanted to a t. On top of doing an amazing job, she is a joy to have around. She was so sweet and had fun with us as we all got ready. I’m so happy Ashley was part of our special day and would recommend her to anyone!

It makes my job to know how satisfied you were and it’s reasons like that why I love my job so much! I hope marriage is going great for you through this hard time with covid19 and you are making the best of it and staying safe.
