Meet Ashley --
I have been in the beauty industry for 11+ years. Makeup was my first baby. This developed my eye for perfection early on. Doing makeup was my passion and in my mind the techniques I developed were to enhance what we already have naturally.
My outlook switched a bit when I had the realization that going to the source and focusing on our skin and skincare is what makes us as humans feel comfortable with ourselves. This makes us beautiful people. Taking care of the inner first: what we eat, what we wear, what we invest ourselves into.
My career has been incredible, many ups and downs, as this is what life’s about, but these experiences (good, bad, and beautiful) have provided me with some amazing resources to be able to perfect my crafts with the ability invest into people the way my heart loves to. Lashing, skincare, waxing, and brows are a large part of the services I’ve done over the years.
Being at Melt has allowed me the opportunity to bring back body waxing services and I’m super happy taking care and giving people comfortable and thorough experiences that they can’t get at any ole’ average spot. When you think of me as your esthetician, think of me as your friend too. I’ve got you!

Not always, but once I knew it existed and knew about the culture it was somewhere I had a desire to work if ever there was an opportunity. Self employment and many employers later, I’ve found myself at Melt and have become a Melt babe.
