All about ash

The hairstylist + owner of ash.blondes

HI, I’M ASHLEY KARRAS, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME ASH.  

 Growing up, art class was my jam. It was my favorite hobby, and then I realized I could make a career out of those artistic qualities. In 2014 I attended The Aveda Institute of Minneapolis and had no idea what the career had in store for me.

 As you can tell, my niche is healthy, low maintained, but bright blonde.. AND handtied extensions. I’ve done hundreds of hours of continuing education, as trends change and hair products/techniques only get better.

So what’s the story being ashblondes? I’ve been creating cool-toned color since beauty school, & my name is (obviously) Ashley! I spent months thinking of a perfect name for my business. The most authentic, true to myself, fun name I came up with was ASHBLONDES. I love more than anything to give a guest an ashy blonde that they’ve dreamed of, AND it has my name in it 

THE PERSONAL SIDE OF ASH-

 I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, which is where I now proudly co-own my salon. In 2020, I married my high school sweetheart, and 9 months later, we welcomed our sweet baby boy, Kye into this world. Traveling is how I fill my cup, my favorite destination thus far is, Greece. There’s something about experiencing a different culture, that changes your persepective and life in countless ways.

I can’t wait to chat with you more & create your dream hair!  

– XO, ASH
