ASHLEY SHELLEY

Hey there! I’m Ashley Shelley, the owner of Creative Edge Salon, and a full time stylist. I graduated from Madison Institute of Cosmetology back in 2006 and have been doing hair ever since. When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me spending time with my family. I’m a proud mother of three and have been happily married to my husband David since 2016. One of my favorite things to do is travel with my family. We love exploring new places and making memories together. One of our favorite places to visit is North Myrtle Beach, SC. It’s our second home and we love everything about it – the beach, the food, the people. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge. When I’m not traveling or working, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. We love to get together and have barbecues, play games, and just enjoy each other’s company. And let’s not forget about my three dogs – they’re definitely a part of the family too! But enough about me – let’s talk hair! I’m very determined to help my clients look and feel their best. Whether you’re looking for a fresh new cut, a bold new color, Halo hair extensions, or just a simple trim, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. So come on in and let’s create something beautiful together!

DANIELA SCHNETZLER

When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me out in nature. I love to hike and explore the great outdoors – there’s just something so calming and rejuvenating about being surrounded by nature. I also love to travel and explore new places. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip or a planned vacation, I’m always ready for an adventure! But enough about my hobbies – let’s talk hair! I’ve been in the industry for over 40 years, and I’m proud to say that I’m a color and cut specialist. I’ve also had the privilege of working as an educator for top brands like Revlon and Wella, as well as being a Schwarzkopf master colorist and educator. And if that wasn’t enough, I also owned my own salon for 8 years! No longer accepting new clients but would be happy to pass you along to one of my fabulous co-workers! I’m passionate about helping my clients look and feel their best. Whether you’re looking for a subtle new color or a bold new cut, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. And as a big veteran supporter, I’m honored to serve those who have served our country. So come on in and let’s create something beautiful together!

JESSICA MICHAELS

Hi! I’m Jessica Michaels! I’m a mother of three and married to my wonderful husband Will. I graduated from Madison Institute of Cosmetology back in 2006 and have been doing hair ever since.

We love bringing delicious food to events and seeing the smiles on people’s faces when they take that first bite. We also love to travel with our kids and explore outdoor amusements like amusement parks and zoos. There’s nothing quite like spending quality time with the ones you love and making memories that will last a lifetime. I’m passionate about what I do and truly believe that everyone deserves to feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.

Hey there, I’m Elizabeth Butt, a proud mother to my son, Reid. I’m a graduate of the Frederick School of Cosmetology and have been doing hair for over 10 years now. I absolutely love what I do, but if I had to choose my favorite services, I would have to say color, men’s cuts, and highlights. There’s just something about the transformation that happens when you add a pop of color or give someone a fresh new cut that makes me feel so fulfilled. When I’m not at Creative Edge Salon, you can usually find me traveling to the library with Reid. There’s something so peaceful and rejuvenating about the smell of old books! And when I’m not at the library or salon, I love to quilt. There’s just something so satisfying about creating something beautiful and tangible with my own two hands. But back to hair! I love helping my clients feel confident and beautiful. I take the time to really listen to their needs and desires, and I work hard to bring their vision to life. Whether you’re looking for a bold new color, a classic men’s cut, or some subtle highlights, I’m here to help you achieve the look you’ve been dreaming of.
