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 is AMAZING!! She is not only very talented she is the sweetest. Her skills are above average and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into what she does. She addresses all of your aesthetic needs and concerns. She is also extremely knowledgeable when it comes to acne (which is extremely hard to get under control). I highly recommend Dawn and her aesthetic skills!!

    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  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.

    5 star review  I've been to many aestheticians over the years. Dawn is by far the most skilled and talented! She's honest with her assessment of your skin and what will be the best service or course of treatment. You will not find this level of service at most day spas. Dawn is worth every penny!

    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!
