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.

I am a God and people loving, passionate aesthetician with over 10 years of experience working with doctors and plastic surgeons. I have been blessed to be trained on everything from lasers and permanent makeup to assisting in plastic surgery and wound care. I love what I do and being able to help others feel good about themselves! I am now venturing out on my own to use my acquired skills and knowledge.

    5 star review  I saw Dawn for a facial and to have a mole removed from my nose. It was my first time visiting an esthetician, and it turned out to be an incredible experience. Dawn has truly mastered the art of creating a welcoming and warm environment. She made sure to explain every step of the process, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout. After seeing her, my skin felt absolutely amazing. Plus, the mole removal healed perfectly. I can't recommend her enough, both personally and professionally!

    5 star review  Dawn is THE aesthetician for you. Whether it be acne or improving aging skin, she has knowledge beyond most working in this profession. Her training in the Face Reality program, in addition to time spent in a medical spa makes her an expert in understanding acne on a deeper level. I only wish I could have had her services as a teen, thus avoiding the horrible drug Acutane. Now that my skin is aging, the acne scars are even more visible. Where the dermatologist injected my cysts as a .young adult (even after having been on Acutane), divots and scars are now left on my face. I wish I would have known. Until I found Dawn, I had no idea that an aesthetician could actually help with this. I had understanding of the services she could provide to help tighten this skin and decrease the depth of my scars. As a young adult , I remember my mom having a partial face lift to address her acne scars. I am super grateful that surgery is not my path. Thank you, Dawn!

    5 star review  I had never been to an aesthetician before Dawn and I am so happy I found her. I was beginning to feel like I looked older than I was and Dawn has been so helpful in guiding me through my options. You can tell she truly cares about helping her clients. She is so gentle and always makes me feel relaxed. It is exciting to see changes in my complexion and I look forward to continuing with Dawn. I would definitely recommend her!!

    5 star review  We all know what writing reviews is all about. But as a person who rarely writes them, it gives me great pleasure to tell you about Dawn and my experience. On my first appointment, when I walked in, Dawn greeted me with a smile. She took her time to explain the procedure, as I was about to have micro needling done on my face. While we waited for the numbing cream to kick in, Dawn and I began to talk. We talked about many things, both business and personal. I must say that Dawn is the kindest most supportive stranger I have ever met. After I left her salon, I felt rejuvenated in spirt, due to her beautiful soul and testimony, not to mention her physical care of me. The next day she texted me to ask how my skin was doing and to check on me personally. I cannot say enough about Dawn. Character matters in this world and I believe God puts people in our path, to care for us, while we walk this journey and she was that for me. Thank you Dawn. I will never forget you and you will always be the person I go to for aesthetics. Blessings!!!
