Stylist hones craft over
12 years — still learning
Precision is important for stylist Ashley
Morgan, and it’s evident as she pulls away a
few strands of hair aside while doing a color
job.
Such care has been a key part of her 12 1/2
years at Wild West Salon. She’s been at the
York Street salon for her entire styling career.
“I started working here the week after I
got out of beauty school,” Morgan said. “It’s a
convenient location, I get
along with all the girls I
work with. It’s where people
know where I’m at.”
The Virgil’s Beauty College
graduate has practiced
her craft over the past 12
years — and she keeps
learning.
“I’m always watching videos
or taking classes, asking other professionals
that I trust what they think and where they
learned,” she said.
Morgan specializes in women’s styles, but
also does men and children.
She said color jobs are her specialty. That’s
“
I just try to be honest
with my clients and tell
them what they can and
cannot have, and how
long it will take to get
them there.

good, because hair coloring is a hot trend.
“They want all of the things,” Morgan said.
“They want what they see in Pinterest.”
She said she sometimes tells her customers
they might not get what they see elsewhere.
“I just try to be honest with my clients and
tell them what they can and cannot have, and
how long it will take to get them there,” she
said. “That is one thing about me is that I will
be honest. I will give someone
my honest professional
opinion.”
Morgan said she’s learned
to read her clients’ reactions
over the years.
“You can tell instantly by
the look on their face when
they see it for the first time,”
she said. “Even if they say
they like it, you can tell if they don’t by the
look on their face. You can tell by their face if
they love it and they really do.”
She said some of her clients have stayed with
her since beauty college.
“I still gain new clients all the time,” she said.
