About Me
Hey, pretty! I'm Ashley, also known as 'That Blonde Stylist.' I am a West Hollywood Luxury Hair Extensionist and Mobile Bridal Hair Stylist. I am a mom of four and met my awesome husband playing kickball. Yes, adult kickball. LOL!
Realizing that the corporate world wasn’t for me after 10+ years, I finally decided to become a financial planner turned hair stylist. I attended Paul Mitchell the School in Los Angeles, and went straight on to pursue my niche of hair extensions. I have a passion for creating beauty, work ethic and loyalty second-to-none, and the will to always keep upping the ante.
I am currently certified and specialize in 6 different hair extension methods - hand-tied weft, volume weft, keratin-tips, I-tips, tape-ins, and the one-step weft. Additionally, I am formally trained in a heatless knotted extension method, and I am also a certified Redken Shades EQ color specialist. And finally, I co-founded a bridal hair and makeup business in 2020, which is thriving.
My dedication to this craft and improving my skills grows day by day. I am continually seeking top-notch education to stay in-tune with today's trends, and I consider myself a 'lifetime learner.'
I invite you to preview my portfolio below (more extensive portfolio on Instagram), apply to be my next new client, and explore all of the fun that is having the hair of your dreams!
Although there is a hair extension method for almost everyone out there, there are several factors that may make us a good fit or not.
If you're interested in becoming a new client, please take a moment to fill out a brief Hair Extension Application. It's super quick, and is a requirement prior to being able to schedule an in-person consultation.
I look forward to meeting you!
