My heart hurts even writing this…

My best friend Ashley has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Ashley is one of the strongest, kindest souls you’ll ever meet.

She’s 40 years old, a devoted mom of three amazing boys, who adore her. She’s the kind of mom who shows up to every game, every school thing, every late-night homework meltdown, and somehow still manages to make everyone else around her feel loved and seen.

A beloved stylist who’s spent nearly two decades building not just a career, but a family within our salon and community. She’s the steady one — She’s built her career, her friendships, and her reputation on kindness and heart. There isn’t a single person who could say a mean word about her.

A few weeks ago, Ashley was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma — breast cancer. The words were devastating, but if you know Ashley, you know her spirit: steady, faithful, and full of fight.

She’s the kind of person who remembers every detail of your life, laughs until she cries, and always puts others before herself. Now, it’s our turn to show up for her the way she’s shown up for so many of us.

Because Ashley works on commission, when she can’t work, she doesn’t get paid — and the months ahead will bring surgery, treatment, and recovery that will make it impossible for her to be behind the chair full-time and as she steps into this fight, her biggest worry isn’t about herself — it’s about keeping life stable for her kids.

This fund will help cover:

• Lost income during treatment and recovery

• Medical expenses and travel to appointments

• Support for her and her three boys as they navigate this together

Every donation — no matter the size — will lift a little weight from her shoulders and remind her that she’s surrounded by love.

If you’ve ever sat in Ashley’s chair, laughed with her, or left her feeling more beautiful than when you came in, you’ve felt her heart. Let’s surround her with that same love and strength now.

Ashley’s Army is already forming — and together, we’ll carry her through this.

This is our chance to love her back and carry her through the hard part.
