@amykinsley40
I was raised in Christiansburg and have been here since 1997. I'm now living in Newport with my husband Dave, our two dogs and three cats. I offer more than 25 years of experience to my clients.
My career in hair styling began in Rochester NY, where I attended the Shear Ego International School of Hair Design. I’ve been a Redken Educator, have completed their Master Stylist and Master Colorist programs, and have attended the Redken Exchange in New York city numerous times. My education continues to this day, keeping up on new techniques and styles reflecting today’s trends.
CharMarie provides the perfect environment to allow my creativity to blossom. There is a genuine team atmosphere here that is palpable, and I’m very proud to be a member of the team. There is nothing more important to me than taking care of my clients. I want them to feel good about themselves after seeing me. I love the satisfaction I get from knowing they're happy. I hope I have the chance to prove it to you soon!

Ashton
Stylist
@hairby_ashtonwheeler
My passion for Cosmetology roots from a desire to make others feel loved and special. Connection with others has always been so important to me. My goal is that everyone who sits in my chair feels heard and leaves feeling confident.
Color is what really gets me excited. I love anything that looks "lived-in", natural, and sun kissed. It's important for me to customize your color to your life style and hair goals. Enhancing your hair and making you feel confident is my priority.
I absolutely adore the team at CharMarie and feel lucky to be a part of it. Everyday I'm learning from the talented stylists around me. I'm always on social media trying to find the best techniques and educating myself on the trends and new, modern styles. I would love to work with you! :)
