My Story

I'm Ashley "Ace" Dean, a recently licensed esthetician and certified makeup artist, having graduated from Paul Mitchell The School. My personal journey with skin challenges like seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, keratosis pilaris, and persistent acne fueled my quest for effective solutions. Despite trying various skincare products, I often faced new issues, like hyperpigmentation and breakouts.

Frustrated by the lack of representation in beauty advertisements and the limited understanding of melanin-rich skin, I embarked on years of research to discern the unique needs of my skin type. This exploration led me to products specifically designed for my skin, ultimately restoring my confidence to embrace my natural self without makeup.

My goal is to share this empowering experience with others, fostering a sense of comfort and confidence in their own skin. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where clients can trust me with their vulnerability, allowing me to provide personalized care. Join me on this journey towards embracing and celebrating our natural beauty.
