About Beauty For Ashes

Beauty is so much more than skin deep. It is also who we are on the inside. In Isaiah 61 it talks of the Lord’s blessing and restoration upon his people. While I can provide services to help achieve your skin care goals and hopefully improve your self-confidence, only the Lord can take away the feelings of shame, guilt, bitterness, and inadequacy that can leave us ugly on the inside.

    5 star review  Dawn single-handedly got rid of my acne through extractions, an assigned skincare routine, and looking at my diet, products, and supplements I use. When I first talked with her, she was incredibly kind which made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend her if you are suffering with acne like I used to. She is incredibly informed, helpful, and easy to talk to!

    5 star review  Dawn has been my esthetician for several years and has done outstanding work! I have had most of her treatments from facials, peels, microneedling, dermaplane, Plasma Fibroblast, and now my ALL-TIME FAVORITE- the Hydro Cool Facial!! It not only made my skin look smoother and glowing, but I felt rejuvenated after it! For some reason, I felt like I had more energy too! I wish I could have that once a week! If you are looking for an esthetician who is dedicated to skincare and always offering the latest treatments at competitive prices, look no further, then Dawn with Beauty for Ashes Aesthetics!

    5 star review  If you want your skin to look its best, Dawn is the answer. She shoots straight but with gentleness and won’t push you into anything you don’t need or don’t want to do. Dawn loves to help people and she’s really good at it. She stays current on all the latest treatments for skincare. I love going in to see her regularly. My skin is clearer, less wrinkled, and feels smoother than a baby’s bottom. Treat yourself and boost your confidence. It’s so worth it! Apparently, the only way to post a second review is to edit the first one, so: I’ve been seeing Dawn for several years. I’m now 61 years old and everybody is super surprised when they learn my age. This is all due to Dawn’s amazing work. I’ve had tons of extractions by her, and they are not fun but certainly not done improperly. I have always had oily skin that produces acne. Thanks to Dawn, I have no scarring. I was stunned to see such a negative review about her. I don’t believe that person. You couldn’t possibly find a more gracious and accommodating esthetician, and she works on weekends. How can you say she doesn’t offer flexible options for people who work? I know without a doubt that she didn’t create any white scarring, nor would she be condescending. Dawn has too much integrity and bends over backwards for her clients. She does everything in her power to help people. There is too much lying being modeled in our culture. Some people just need someone to blame. I hope others looking at these reviews won’t be swayed by outright lies. If you don’t check her out, you are missing out. I would actually look my age without her and that is not a place I want to be.
