Ashley’s story
Ashley’s journey into hair and wig design began at the intersection of her grandparents’ legacies in film and cosmetology.
Her great great grandfather, a co-founder of Universal Pictures, and her grandmother, a hairstylist who owned her own salon & taught at the local vocational school, undeniably shaped Ashley’s passion for film, television, and theater.
