Meet the Owners
Whitney Ashby
Whitney, a Permanent Makeup artist, and licensed Esthetician originally from Idaho, now, residing in the sunny state of Florida. I am currently serving the Pensacola community.
As a mother and business owner, I know how juggling work and home life a challenge can be. Looking our best in the mix of this can sometimes seem impossible. I know exactly how important your time is. My business is designed to save individuals, just like you, precious hours each day, while looking their best.
I have been doing lashes for over 6 years now, and recently graduated from Cindy Cassidy school of skincare. I’ve been a Permanent Makeup artist for over 4 years, training with one of the best instructors in the industry, Hailey Gabrielle. I specialize in brow reshaping and color correction. I love my clients and always look forward to meeting their individual needs. I take pride in my continued education, constantly advancing my technique.
Many PMU artists have a one size fits all vision on beauty trends. However, I have a different vision. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. This includes our makeup routine. Being beautiful both inside and out needs to feel right for you, the client. I work together with all of my clients to create a long-term goal of your beauty needs, wants and desires. I will educate you on color choice, shaping options and longevity of your procedure. I will also check in on you throughout the year to make sure that you are satisfied.
When I am not in the studio, you can find me spending time with my family. I am a boy mom so outdoor activities often consist of playing catch, dirt biking, making forts and running around. In those moments when I can be on my own, however, I enjoy going to the beach, hiking, and exploring my new hometown.
I have a secret antiquing addiction that I also try to squeeze in when I can.
Austin Ashby
Let me introduce myself, my name is Austin! I am the owner and manager here. I was born and raised in Idaho, which I loved. Upon graduating high-school, I joined the Marine Corps and served my 4-year term.
Now that I am done serving our country, I can pursue the things I am passionate about. I am currently studying for a degree in Business Management and Administration, as well as learning about marketing & advertising outside of my degree path. I also enjoy designing graphics like logos and other business content and editing photos and videos and creating content for others to view.
I am the guy that will answer all your questions, get you scheduled, follow up with your service & keep in touch throughout the year. If you see an advertisement on Facebook, I created it and would be happy to help you with any special requests you might have.
However, when I'm not enjoying work, you can find me at home with my wife, our son and our 4 dogs. We spend a lot of time fixing up our new house & enjoying each other’s company. Outside the house, I love beach days, dirt biking, adventuring, and getting to know the area.
I also have a passion for cars and trucks, I have spent my entire adult life so far working on engines and vehicles, and love working on my own vehicles and customizing them!
If you have any questions about marketing and advertising or graphic design, please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to working with you.
