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  Dawn has helped my skin tremendously. I had mild acne and occasional small cysts, but the regimen and facials have truly helped my skin clear up! Dawn is also a joy to converse with and clients truly become friends. Please consult her for any skincare needs - she will help you address diet, supplements, and skincare for a personalized routine!

    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 found Dawn to be a caring and extremely knowledgeable aesthetician. My skin has never felt and looked better! You are never too old to have healthier skin and she's the one to help you get it! I would highly recommend her.

    5 star review  Dawn was recommended to me by my previous esthetician who needed to decrease her client load. I am so glad she did! Dawn is fantastic and I highly recommend her. I have been seeing her for facials for a year. She is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled, and beyond her professionalism she is a wonderful, kind, caring, giving person. I especially like that she thoroughly researches products that have clean ingredients and I feel really good about the product line she has me using and my skin feels great.

    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!
