About Dana
My Name is Dana Ashley and I have been in the hair business for over 30 years. I was a stage artist for some of the top leaders in the industry such as Paul Mitchell, Sebastian, Lanza, and Salon Technology, I have traveled all over the country doing hair shows, fashion shows and I was blessed to have been trained with the best. I am what you call a visual stylist I was trained technically and visually in a European way of cutting. I specialize in dry hair cutting, color correction, color, and the over all style. I have had experiences not only in the hair industry but also in the arts. I danced for the San Francisco Ballet , danced with Rolland Dupree, Solid Gold, was a choreographer for the Paul Mitchell Core Team and much more. You see I have been in the business for a very long time. During all of this I also graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising where I became a stylist for Star Search, Wool bureau and landed in the music industry working with some great names such as Prince, Dwight Yoakum, Elvis Costello, The Cult, Rem, Whitesnake, Cher, Motley Crew, Aerosmith, Blue Murder, Guns & Roses, Robert Plant, Wallflowers to name a few. I was so very lucky to have worked in all aspects of the industry and worked in some great salons with some great mentors. I have since opened five salons two in Mississippi and one in Paso Robles one that is now open at the American Tin Cannery in Pacific Grove California called Sages Salon and one here in Carmel California my newest called Velvet Ivy. Velvet Ivy is a Studio Salon and much more during all of my adventures I was a designer and I have been honored to have met up with World Renowned designer Loes Hinse to create our new Line of Non_Traditional Wedding Attire and Accessories. We Design, Develop, Manufacture all our clothing and accessories here in Carmel by the Sea California.. I also do a line of Custom Blended Shampoo and Conditioners so we are a full unique service salon.
