We recently connected with Ashley Isabell and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Ashley, so happy to have you on the platform and I think our readers are in for a treat because you’ve got such an interesting story and so much insight and wisdom. So, let’s start with a topic that is relevant to everyone, regardless of industry etc. What do you do for self-care and how has it impacted you?
For me self care looks like slow mornings with my coffee and 2 cats, incorporating workouts like strength training, running and hot yoga, taking care of my skin with medical grade products and aesthetic treatments.
Self-care gets a bad rap sometimes, like it’s indulgent or selfish. But the truth? It’s foundational. When I take care of me, I stop pouring from an empty cup. I show up more happy, more confident, and more present!
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a PA and an aesthetic injector with over 10 years of experience, and I recently opened my own medspa space, My Aesthetics Haven! After a decade of perfecting my skills, I figured it was time to start my own thing!
What excites me most about this journey is the loyalty and trust of my patients. Many have followed me throughout the years, continuing to entrust me with their aesthetic goals, and that means everything to me. My goal has always been to enhance confidence while maintaining natural beauty, and now, with my own space, I have the freedom to curate an experience that prioritizes both artistry and patient experience.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, three qualities that have been most impactful in my journey are customer service skills, a good attitude, and adaptability. Aesthetics is a service-driven industry, and how you make patients feel is just as important as the results you deliver. Patients return not just because they love their treatments but because they trust and feel comfortable with you.
A good attitude is also imperative. This industry comes with challenges—tough cases, patient expectations, and busy days. I always try to have a good attitude and bring good energy into each treatment room.
At the end of the day, skills can be developed, but your attitude, how you treat people, and your willingness to adapt will determine your success.
How would you describe your ideal client?
My ideal client is someone who values a natural, refreshed look and understands that aesthetics is a journey, not a one-time fix. I love working with clients who trust the process, are open to education, and see their treatments as an investment in themselves rather than just chasing trends.
