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  "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.

    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  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  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  I started seeing Dawn only a few months ago after having been diagnosed & treated for a small spot of basal cell carcinoma on my face. Dawn is extremely knowledgeable about the health and beauty of skin, she cares and listens to my questions and concerns. I'm always curious about what she is using and the amazing fragrance of her products. Her professional and friendly customer service is great and I love the soothing christian music she plays while she works! She is helping my skin look and feel healthy as I continue to age and deal with what naturally comes with that. Thanks Dawn!

    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!
