Hi Beautiful, I’m Ashley!

I am so glad that you are here.

Here’s my story…After graduating in Communication Studies from the University of Iowa, I realized that the corporate world wasn’t for me. I first moved to LA to start my own dog walking business and I love love love my Hazelnut the Havanese! After 5 years, I decided to return to the midwest for my family and to pursue my passion for beauty. Inspired by my best friend who is in the industry, I became a licensed cosmetologist. I have a passion for special occasion styling, hand-tied extensions, colors and cuts. During the week, you can find me TAMED Blow Dry & Beauty Bar in Wicker Park with Hazelnut. On the weekends, I am always hustling with weddings and looking out for fresh new looks and styles. I so look forward to giving you the hair of your dreams !
