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.

Nanofacial

How does Nanotechnology work? During the treatment, a handheld wand is used to send “nanoscopic” (tinier than microscopic, about 1/10,000th of a human hair) channels of anti-aging serum ingredients deep beneath the skin’s surface, where we can easily “feed” skin cells...

    5 star review  "Have you lost weight? You look great!" That's what I hear mostly. When I first met Dawn, I said that I did not want any trace that would appear as if I had surgery. Her plasma treatment takes a year or two off my face every time, without a trace! Highly recommend.

    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!

    5 star review  Wow, Dawn cuts no corners during her services. I “accidentally” came across her business and I am so glad I did. I’ve never received a treatment with results like I did with her. The value of her service is unbeatable for the price. She has many many years of experience and it shows. She has so much knowledge and expertise. She is also personable and easy to talk to. The only thing I don’t like is the fact I didn’t know about her sooner! As another beauty professional, I highly recommend. I plan on going back to Dawn for all of my skincare needs from now on.

    5 star review  Dawn is a highly knowledgeable and expert aesthetician who truly cares for her clients! She is warm and welcoming and takes the time to listen to you so she can help you reach your skincare goals. She’s also a lot of fun and you can tell she loves what she does! I recommend her to everyone!

    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  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.
