Hello! My name is Ashley. I have been in the industry since 2003 where I graduated from the Aveda Institute of Minneapolis. I am very passionate about my career and feel fortunate that I get to make every person that sits in my chair feel great about themselves. Although I have been in the industry for years, I like to keep up on the latest trends with continuing education. I love hair color, foiling, and cutting!
I especially love blondes, as there is just something about a fresh blonde color that makes me giddy! :)
Everyday is different and I enjoy meeting new people and having them leave the salon feeling confident.
In my free time you can find me with my family, I have 2 children that keep me busy when I am away from the salon!
I hope you enjoy your experience with me when you come to Just Cuz Beauty!

Makeup Artist
Elisabeth Olson
Hi, I’m Elisabeth! When I was younger, I was involved in dance, theater and modeling. As a result, I learned to do many different types of makeup and found I had a knack for it. It became a passion of mine to learn more about different skin care and make up trends/techniques, especially as I got older and my routines had to shift due to maturing skin. After receiving some professional training, I eventually settled into my own personal style. I specialize in soft glam and natural “no-makeup” looks, but I am happy to accommodate all styles and visions. I want the entire process to feel very pampering and confidence boosting. I believe all faces are beautiful - makeup simply enhances what’s already there. Let me help you shine!
