TLDR: Ashley helped me feel beautiful before, during, and long after (looking at my pics and new skin care routine) my wedding. BACKGROUND: I have been following Ashley and her business for years. About 10 years ago, while on a work trip in California, I stumbled upon her business off of a friend's recommendation. I was on 5 out of 6 weeks of travel and my body and skin were starting to really feel the constant travel. It was THE most amazing facial of my life. She immediately made me feel pampered and I left with a whole different feeling to my skin! I make it a point to visit anytime I'm in Southern Cali. So, naturally, I followed her social media for years. I've watched the pamper sessions and her amazing work with Brides. When I got married, I knew there was really one person I wanted to work with. Would she be willing to fly to Florida for my wedding? GUYS, SHE DID! THE PREP: I was so stressed weeks before the big day that my entire body was breaking out. Over the phone she triaged my skin and immediately sent me Amazon links to Masks, Moisturizers and spot treatments. The best part? They were all super affordable, but worked great! THE BIG (WEDDING) DAY: My big day was stressful (aren't most weddings?). Ashley came in with a wonderful attitude, lightened the mood (cracking jokes, ensuring my glass was never empty), and brought my anxiety levels down. Even more importantly, she made me feel so pretty and special at pretty special time. I don't usually wear a ton of makeup, but I wanted to feel glamorous for my wedding. Ashley did NOT disappoint! I still looked very much like me, but I felt like all my best features were highlighted in an elegant way. I still had a few small breakout areas (way better than weeks before) and she was able to cover them all so that our pictures highlighted me and not the imperfections in my skin. All in all Ashley once again held to her prestigious reputation. She helped me get my skin back to a better place, made me feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day and left we with amazing photos (and even better memories)! read more

BEWARE of Ashley Grey: She claims she's a "Medical Esthetician" however no such License exists in CA! She hypes up herself stating she's an "acclaimed makeup artist" and a "pro" which is a total exaggeration. For proof just watch her instagram treatments and notice her application of skincare products and massage techniques are all energetically incorrect for proper blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and relaxation. She requires anatomy and juphysiology classes and massage therapy courses. You'd be way better off booking your appointment at Paul Mitchell School in Costa Mesa with well trained students who offer high end skincare products.l read more

Ashley is truly amazing at what she does. The minute you walk into her studio you feel the pampering begin to happen. Her facials are out of this world and my skin glows for weeks. She works her magic and I'm always stopped about skin after a facial from her. Her care and excellent work ethic shows and the work speaks for herself. If I could I would go to her every week. read more

I have been going to Ashley for years for facials, I would never go to anyone else. Not only is it just a nice treat to myself for a facial, but my skin always clears up and looks beautiful! I get stopped so much by strangers to tell me I have beautiful skin! On top of that... I had my first wax ever with Ashley and she made me feel so comfortable and calm. I imagined it much worse than what it was and she talked me through it. It's one thing to find someone who has experience, is professional and knows what they're doing, but to find someone with such a great personality who makes you feel comfortable is the cherry on top! Thank you Ashley for being the best ever! Just book the appointment! I recommend Ashley to everyone I know ! read more

Ashley's studio is an absolute slice of heaven and I already can't wait to go back. She is such a joy to be around and I love that it is a privately owned studio, so peaceful and private. One of my greatest joys in life is watching people thrive in living out their life's purpose -- well Ash is doing just that, she is so gifted. The attention to details, spectacular products and top of the line tools she uses paired with her extensive knowledge makes for the best facial possible. I was so relaxed when she was done that I had to take a few minutes before I could drive home. Do yourself a favor and book now! read more

I had my first facial with Ashley at Ashthetics Skincare this weekend and it was wonderful, as is she. Her studio is quant and it has a very relaxing atmosphere. Ashley took her time talking to me and evaluating my skin and she explained everything she thought I needed and went to work. I had a moisturizing facial that included light therapy, dermaplaining and then to top it off she applied a 24 karat gold gel mask that felt amazing. My skin is refreshed and rejuvenated. I look forward to returning for more treatments. read more

First of all you need to know Ashley is like an all-knowing skin goddess who bestows skin miracles that are such a gift even Santa would be jealous because I feel like I'm walking on sunshine I'm THAT happy from the results I've gotten. My story: I've struggled with painful cystic acne in my adult life for years. My dermo put me on antibiotics for months, I've done all the prescription creams, and peeled every morning like a snake shedding skin... and it hardly did a thing (I take progress pics because I've tried so many things with zero luck). I was unlucky enough to develop a bad UV/sun allergy and other painful reactions from the meds that everyday my body was so uncomfortable just trying to get clear skin. I was about to go on acctuane as a last resort THEN!!!!! My friend got me an appointment with Ashley and.... I felt I finally met someone who paid attention to what I've actually gone through skin wise. My doctors just pushed drugs on me while Ashley actually sat down to answer 1,000 of my questions so I understood. Accutane is a serious drug that idk if my body could handle it so seeing Ashley a week before going on it has SAVED ME!!! She went heavy on the extractions so I anticipated the next day seeing angry skin... and oh my god my skin was like a baby's bottom it was GLOWING, SMOOTH, and the redness was gone! I almost cried I was that happy and astonished with the immediate results. Days go by and I felt for the first time in years I looked like a young woman who should be worried about grey hair- not acne. I've seen her twice in one month and I HAVENT BROKEN OUT ONCE (when I'd wake up every morning with a new cluster). Not only do you get immediate results - they last long too!! ALSO her customer service is so attentive such as she checked in on me multiple times, reminded me to ice my face, and worked around my schedule to get me in. To top it off... she's hilarious and very genuine that I get that immediate friendly vibe that makes this whole experience the best I've had 10/10. Thank you Ashley for turning my life around - I'm off heavy antibiotics, I can go outside in the sun again WITH confidence, and now I can have smooth skin that when I wear makeup there's nothing to notice except my smile. I cannot wait for more treatments with you. read more

"Ashley saved my face" - that is what I say to every person who has commented on my skin. I suffered from horrible "adult acne" which is the worst and let's be honest, really embarrassing. I was highly recommended by a dear friend who of course has FLAW-LESS skin. I wanted her secret, she mentioned Ashley so, of course I had to see this miracle worker. I saw results immediately, 3 days to be exact. I felt so good about it, I booked my second visit 2 weeks after my initial one. I can honestly say that my "adult acne" was under control about 2 months later, no more acne besides tiny stress bumps. Ashley is so kind, understanding and simply the best. My family and friends were so impressed by my progress that they all wanted to see Ashley. Four of my friends now go see her routinely. I highly HIGHLY recommend Ashley for all things beauty. She also takes care of my eyebrows, I don't trust anyone else but her when it comes to my face. read more

Loving my face and how it looks and feels. Can't wait to keep up with Ashley and follow her lead as she helps my acne, acne scarring and health of my skin. Thanks Ashley! read more

IF I COULD GIVE 1,000 STARS I WOULD!! It's hard to find the words to express how much coming to Ashthetics saved my skin & honestly gave me my life back. I was going through a horrendous period of hormonal acne - my confidence plummeted, and I was losing my quality of life feeling so ashamed of my skin. I tried so many different solutions to fix it, most of which just pissed my skin off even more. And then I was referred to Ashley. I was told she specializes in adult acne which is actually the understatement of the century. I was embarrassed to even be seen without make up or a mask on, but Ashley made me feel SO comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. She put me at such ease and was so kind. She educated me and helped me learn without an ounce of judgement. After just the first session, I saw such a difference that I actually started to feel hopeful that my skin could be clear again - something I hadn't believed in about 9 months. I knew I was in the best hands and that she would take care of me. After consistent sessions with Ashley, I went from never leaving the house without make up to now wearing it as little as I can because I'm PROUD of my complexion - it's better than it ever was even before my massive breakout - that is ALL thanks to Ashley. Not to mention, she is just about the coolest chick around and you will leave your appointment in a better mood than you walked in. Ashley is a consummate professional who respects your time and will always go the extra mile to make sure you are 150% taken care of. I'll continue to recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a brilliant esthetician - LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR GIRL!!! read more

I have always had clear skin, but when I started to see that change, my friend recommended seeing Ashley - and let me tell you, I am forever grateful she did! Ashley did an incredible job! My skin looked SO much better even after 1 session. She also had products she sells and constantly checks in on you to see how your face and skin is holding up. I highly recommend anyone to go see Ashley - she's truly changed my life. read more

I've been going to Ashley for over 15 years. Wow time flies. I am in my 40's and teach at a college and students come up to me and ask where the teacher is. Even during the last few years dealing with atopic dermatitis people still say I look like I'm in my 20's. Thanks Ashley! I don't have to ask for anything specific, she already knows what my skin needs and I just say, do whatever you think. Now where else could you go and do that? read more

When I started having serious acne issues, and results with both over the counter skin care lines and prescription medications failed, I knew I needed to visit a professional. Ashley is as knowledgeable and professional as she is attentive and compassionate about caring for her clients. She took the time to learn all about me as well as go over my the skin care treatment plan she created for me. Ashthetics is hands down the best experience of its kind that I have ever had. You get medical-grade care with a relaxing spa feeling. All of my senses were pleasantly engaged in this relaxing environment and I really felt like I was in the best hands possible with Ashley. I left feeling confident that we are on track to getting my skin back to beautiful. Ashley is an absolute sweetheart; definitely a one of a kind esthetician, with whom I look forward to future visits with. read more

Ashley is one of the best esthetician's I have ever gone to. You will get a medical grade treatment/facial maintaining a calm relaxing vibe and environment. I have been struggling with melasma and severe pigment issues since I was 16. I was referred by a friend and the first visit she was so informative with everything I needed to do to even out my skin tone. She was very transparent with what needed to be done. After the first appointment and a peel was performed my skin was already glowing and she had me on a new skincare regimen which was amazing. Ashley always checks up on me the days after my facial to ensure my skin is okay and to make sure I am happy with all of the services she provided me. She has been in the industry for almost 20 years and her knowledge and expertise speaks for itself. I have several friends that struggle with adult cystic acne that I have recommended to see Ashley and their skin has transformed and is clear, smooth, and blemish free. Ashley is the best of the best. All of her facials are customized to the client on their own skin needs. Plus she is an amazing person with a rock star personality and it's very apparent that she loves and is so passionate about what she does! read more

Ashley is beyond amazing. I have been to a lot of places for facials but she takes the cake, I see her once a month and she gives me the best facials ever :):) she also wraps your hands, which at my age is very important. I also take my 16 yr old daughter here to get her eyebrows waxed and tinted as well as mini facials. She makes her feel comfortable and is so sweet to her that I couldn't imagine ever going anywhere else. You will not need to look any further once you have been to Ashley! read more

In preparations for my wedding I scheduled a trial makeup run with Ashley. She came highly recommended and now I know why. She charged $85 for the Trial. She took her time to go through several different looks, to make sure we found the right look. She was extremely personable and kind. Her business facility was well taken care of, clean and easy to find. The only reason we did not hire her for the wedding was because I became allergic to the makeup a few hours later. This is in no way her fault, my skin is just highly sensitive to products. If my family members wanted their makeup done I would have hired her in an instant to theirs. Thank you Ashley for all your hard work! read more

I've been getting facials for years and Ashley is by far the best I've been to. She is very sweet and extremely talented - my skin looks the best than it has in years! I actually look forward to my appts! read more

Ashley truly is a skin magician and the best esthetician I have ever been to! I have been seeing Ashley for facials for 8 YEARS! When we first started, I had horrible small bumps all over my cheeks which she then educated me on as "commodones." With consistent facials (every 4-6 weeks), we were able to eliminate them and my skin was forever changed. 7 years ago I moved to Santa Barbara and I still travel down for my facials with Ashley because she is the only one I trust with my skin. That alone says a lot about her skill set! She takes her time on her facials and wants to pamper each of her clients. She caters to her clients by creating a custom skin regimen based on your skins needs. Her products are clean and non-toxic which is great when so many facial products are loaded with horrible ingredients (which are probably the culprit of your break outs)! She truly cares and you can feel that from the moment you meet her! Once you see your glowing skin, you won't go anywhere else! read more
