Hi! I am Ashlie... a Houston based salon owner and Redken Artist. I have spent nearly two decades behind the chair, and throughout that journey, Redken has played a defining role in who I have become, both as an artist and leader.
Honestly, Cosmetology was not the plan. I went to college with one goal, become a cardiovascular surgeon. At the end of my sophomore year, I had a dream that was clear as day of someone telling me I should withdraw from college and pursue cosmetology. So, I did. To many, that was a bizarre and uncharacteristic decision of me but, it was the best decision I made.
I started my cosmetology career without a clear direction and took the "fake it 'til you make it" route. But, the moment I stepped into my first Redken Exchange class in 2008, something clicked. The structure, the science, the community, it felt like home.
Since then, I have built a career and business grounded in education. Prism Salon was founded with the belief that luxury and kindness can coexist and that education is the bridge between confidence and creativity.
When I am not behind the chair, running a business, or facilitating, you will find spending time with my husband, daughter, and fur baby, me planning my next vacation, or learning a new creative outlet (my latest is cake-pops).













I am applying for the Redken Artist Mentorship Program in both Haircolor and Design as I am ready to step into the next level of facilitation and deepen my impact as a Redken Artist.
Redken has given me so much as a stylist behind the chair as well as an Artist: structure, confidence, and community to name a few. I want to grow into the educator I am meant to be and who can offer the same to others.
Redken has change the way I see myself and I am here to pay that forward. I want to be the kind of leader who reminds every stylist they are more than just what the do, they are who they become. I want every stylist to feel seen, supported, and capable, because I know how transformative that can be. Being able to help others who share a passion for this industry is the greatest joy in my career.
I know being a part of this mentorship program will be a. defining moment in my career and shape the next chapter of my journey with Redken.
