“I’m a blonde specialist whose main focus is making your appointment anxiety and stress free. As a queer, neurodiverse woman I used to hate getting my hair done and the way I was made to feel, I became a hairdresser to change that narrative. I focus on all blonding techniques from highlights to scalp bleaches. The blonder the better baby!“

"Hello! Im Ashley, I have over ten years’ experience. I’ve travelled around the world doing what I love, which is making people feel beautiful. I have my levels 1 to 4, a diploma in hairdressing, as well as being a colour expert, and nano & keratin extension trained. I’ve worked with celebrities, done fashion shows, and entered competitions from a young age. When it comes to hairdressing, I don’t have a favourite field in particular, but I would say I like to be creative. That being said, I tend to do a lot of balayage and tape extensions in salon. Please get in touch for more information or for your complimentary consultation."
