Laura (and Ashley!) have been a constant source of inspiration and talent in my hair journey. I went from black box dye (I know, I know) to gorgeous lived-in blonde. It takes time people. But these ladies are here to help you color correct and get you to where you want to be. Laura is a talented blonde specialist…

I’m so lucky I found Fringe Collective! Ashley is masterful at hair, of course, but even more at distilling what picture or idea I have into what is best for me.

Ashley has been my stylist for 5 years now and I trust her completely! She listened to my concerns and preferences, suggested a few different options and has been willing to adapt and change as my tastes and preferences have! I love that she takes the time to educate me on the science behind coloring, give me tips…

Ashley is “my person” and I absolutely do NOT trust anyone else with my hair. Ashley has a beautiful sense of style, a great eye and offers an honest opinion about how to best color, style and has great taste overall. I highly recommend her and her team to develop a long term relationship!! I have been with her for 10 years and would follow her anywhere!
