Welcome to Designs by Ash, LLC
Where I focus on transforming hair & nails with compassion and convenience.
When you hire Designs by Ash, LLC, you aren't just booking a haircut, perm, color, or a medical pedicure. You are bringing a highly trained specialist into your home who holds multiple medical and professional credentials designed specifically for the most sensitive care environments. As a Multidisciplinary Specialist, I have spent years honing my craft and my clinical knowledge to serve clients with complex needs.
My expertise includes:
37 years of experience, including 12 in business with over 115 companies that refer their clients to me!
As an essential company in 2 states, I was able to work during COVID, and I am on all state and health registries.
Hospice & Bedside Care: Providing dignity and comfort to those in their final stages of life.
Dementia & Memory Care: Utilizing patience and specialized techniques to provide a calm, safe experience for those with cognitive challenges.
Autism & Sensory Support: Tailoring my approach to meet the unique sensory needs of my clients. As someone with a sensory disorder myself, I understand!
Bedridden: I cater to those who are bedridden to make the experience the best it can be.
Clinical Foot Health: As a Medical Nail Technician (MNT) and Certified Clinical Podiatric Medical Assistant (CCPMA), I provide medical-grade foot care and toenail restoration that goes far beyond a standard salon. And I bring these skills of a podiatric office to you.
Homebound or hospital-bound clients: When you can't go anywhere, I'm the one who brings the salon to you, even if you're bedridden.
Certified in Health and Social Care.
The Hidden Costs of Professional Excellence:
To maintain this level of specialized service, I invest heavily back into my business every year at my own expense, and I never stop bettering myself or my company:
- Dual-State Licensing: Maintaining professional standing in both Missouri and Kansas.
- Medical Certifications: Ongoing education in antimicrobial resins and podiatric assistance. Licensed as a Medical Nail Technician and in Podiatric Toenail Resoration, both of which are renewed yearly.
- Liability & Insurance: Full coverage to ensure the safety of every client I visit.
- The Mobile Clinic: I travel over an hour one-way to bring a sterile, professional environment to your bedside or living room.
- Investment in Dignity: Kids' cuts are $25-$30, Women's Specialized Cuts: Ranging from $45 – $55, depending on the location, while Men's Specialized Cuts are $35 (Travel fees apply for extended distances over 1 hour)
My rates reflect over a decade of experience and a commitment to providing the highest level of clinical safety and emotional support to the disabled, elderly, autistic, mental health, homebound, hospitals, and those in hospice, along with those wishing to just have their toenails restored to enjoy wearing sandals again without shame.
Specialized care requires a specialist—and I am honored to serve this community with the professional standards they deserve, so please understand that when you think my rates are too high, you would pay close to the same for way less personalized services in the salon, but I bring the salon to you!
It's my honor to help as many people as I can. I am here to help people, not take advantage of anyone. Doing what I do for a living comes with a very high cost at my expense, but I am just out here trying to do the best I can for people that need my services.
