Ashlyn

Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday

Front Desk Liaison | Studio Vibe Manager & Scheduling Sorceress

Since joining Charlie’s Lashes in September 2021, Ashlyn has been the front desk rockstar we honestly don’t know what we’d do without. As our Front Desk Liaison, she keeps everything running like clockwork—handling bookings, smoothing out scheduling chaos, and greeting every client with the kind of energy that instantly makes you feel at home.

No two days are the same for Ashlyn—and that’s exactly how she likes it. Whether she’s helping a first-time guest feel at ease, juggling last-minute changes, or doing a quick “drive-by” to check if a stylist needs backup, Ashlyn thrives in the beautifully unpredictable rhythm of the studio. She’s the secret sauce that keeps clients happy, stylists sane, and our days flowing effortlessly.

But don’t let her clipboard fool you—Ashlyn isn’t just the schedule queen. She’s also our unofficial product researcher, diving deep into the ingredients of anything we bring into the studio to make sure it meets her high standards. If it’s not up to par, it’s not making it to our shelves.

Clients love her for her quick wit, her ability to remember the little things, and her natural gift for making every appointment feel personal. From calming the nerves of a new client by sharing her own beauty experiences, to hyping up a lash nap with a perfectly-timed joke—Ashlyn always shows up with empathy, humor, and a whole lot of heart.

Off the clock? She’s a trained actor working on TV and film sets (yes, actual celebrities), and a die-hard Lady Gaga fan with a soft spot for punk, metal, Fleetwood Mac, and pistachio oatmilk lattes.

Ashlyn’s energy is the glue that holds the studio together—and whether she’s printing daily schedules, fielding frantic reschedules, or helping clients feel their absolute best, one thing’s for sure: we’d be totally lost without her.

Diana

Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

Esthetician: Waxing Specialist

*Diana also does Lash Lift & Tints and Brow Laminations

With over two decades of experience and a reputation as the GOAT of waxing, Diana is not just a waxing specialist—she’s a true brow architect. A licensed esthetician since 1995 (shoutout to the Capri Institute), Diana has spent the past 20+ years transforming brows, smoothing skin, and making every client in her chair feel confident, comfortable, and completely at ease.

Her specialty? Brows—with a capital B. Diana fell in love with waxing when she saw the instant joy on her clients’ faces after a fresh brow transformation. To this day, her favorite service is a perfectly sculpted brow wax, especially when she gets to guide clients on their brow-growth journey (step one: put the tweezers down and trust the process 👏).

She’s known for building trust, delivering honest advice, and showing clients what’s possible with consistency and care. If you’ve ever walked out of a waxing appointment saying, “I didn’t know my brows could do that!”—you probably saw Diana.

But don’t let her precision fool you—Diana brings the laughs, too. She’s the comic relief of the studio (self-declared and team-approved), always bringing the humor, the yacht rock, and the kind of energy that instantly puts clients at ease. Her chair is a judgment-free zone, her playlists are a throwback dream, and her aftercare tips? Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate.

Outside of waxing, Diana continues to grow her skillset with services like lash lifts, brow laminations, and tinting, helping clients amplify their natural features with minimal effort. She’s always evolving, always learning, and always keeping it real.

At Charlie’s Lashes, Diana loves the team vibe most of all. While the younger team keeps her entertained with hilarious daily convos, she’s the steady, sharp-witted anchor every client (and stylist!) is grateful to have in their corner.
