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 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.

Recent Reviews

    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 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  So happy to have found Dawn for my skin care needs! She's extremely knowledgable and took the time to ask about my skin care history as I was new to the Springs. She has been super meticulous about her customized approach with me and I sincerely appreciate her expertise and guidance with what my skin needs. If you're looking to establish a relationship with a knowledgeable and experienced esthetician, I highly recommend you set up a consult for all of your skin care needs with Dawn. I recently had a microneedling session with her and have been blown away with the results! Can't wait for the next!

    3 star review  Dawn told me as long as I have dreadlocks or smoke weed I will never have clear skin(even when I said I smoke maybe once a week, if that) her words made me not go to another esthetician for YEARS because I was so discouraged. She put unsolicited intense, condemning bible verses in my bag any time I picked up product. The kind that tell you, you will burn for eternity if you commit adultery or have lustful eyes. I felt very judged and uncomfortable. She is a good esthetician however (that’s what I give the 3 stars for), and gave great tips- so if you are a devout Christian that doesn’t partake in the devils lettuce or sin then she will be a great fit for you! But if you’re an alternative mama, probably go elsewhere so you don’t have to go through what I did.

    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!!!
