Hi! My name is Ashley Conner and I was born in WA State but raised in the Venice/ North Port area. It was when I started high school that I decided I wanted to be a part of the beauty industry. I loved the idea of being creative and making people feel beautiful.  I enrolled in classes during high school and by the time I graduated I was licensed and ready. My journey with Avenue began in November of 2010 as an Associate, about 5 years later I moved to WA for a short period of time and then realized that Avenue and the beach were my home. I moved back in 2018 and continued my career. Now as a Level 4 Stylist, Educator, part of the Management Team/ HR, Certified Curl Specialist as well as a Redken Certified Colorist, I offer a large variety of services from precision cutting/ curly cutting. to specialized color, and so much more. In order that I continue my education and further my skill set, classes are essential. Education is so important in this forever changing industry and I always strive to stay up to date so I can better serve my guests.

When I am not in the salon you can find me and my son at the beach or on an adventure somewhere outside. Family is very important to me. I am also a huge Harry Potter and Disney fan and am so happy I can share that with my son. We spend quite a lot of time at Disney! I also enjoy traveling and experiencing all that I can (little bit of an adrenaline junkie). Thank you for reading and should you have any questions or inquiries please feel free to call the salon at 941-485-1887 or reach out on Facebook/ Instagram @ashleyconnerhair. I can’t wait to meet you!
