Ashley's journey in the beauty industry is a narrative of passion, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit, marking her as a trailblazer in aesthetics and beauty treatments.

Beginning her career with the launch of Blink Beauty Bar, Ashley quickly established a name for herself in the realm of microblading, a service she excelled in for over 8 years. Recognizing the evolving needs in beauty, she seamlessly transitioned into permanent makeup in 2016, further expanding her repertoire and the services offered at her beauty bar.

Ashley's commitment to excellence and education led her to develop a comprehensive microblading training program, reflecting her dedication to sharing knowledge and fostering new talent in the beauty industry. This initiative not only set new standards in beauty education but also paved the way for the expansion of her business.

Under Ashley's visionary leadership, Blink Beauty Bar grew, adding a range of beauty treatments like facials and lashes. This expansion was a natural progression, fueled by her passion for art and beauty. It also involved assembling a team of skilled professionals, each sharing Ashley's commitment to quality and innovation in beauty services.

In a bold stride, Ashley expanded her business to a beautiful new location at 142 Bidwell Parkway in Buffalo, NY. Here, she launched Agence, a venture that merges 'age' and 'science' in its name and ethos. This new business reflects Ashley's deep-rooted passion for anti-aging and beauty, showcasing her ability to blend aesthetic appeal with scientific advancements.

The opening of our Medspa in May 2023 was a dream realized for Ashley. It stands as a pinnacle of her journey, blending her lifelong passion for art, beauty, and anti-aging science. The Medspa is more than a beauty destination; it's a place where individuals can find empowerment and self-expression through state-of-the-art beauty treatments.

Ashley's story is one of constant innovation, inspiring confidence, and enhancing beauty in unique ways. Her journey from the inception of Blink Beauty Bar to the launch of our Medspa is a testament to her unwavering dedication, inspiring a new era in the beauty and wellness industry.
