Hi, I’m Ashley Branham.

I am the resident Skin Witch here at Lively Esthetics!

I’ve been a licensed Esthetician in Springfield, MO since 2015.

In 2019, decided to chase my vision of creating a relaxing and empowering environment where I could marry my love for corrective treatments with holistic modalities.

I absolutely LOVE helping people fall in love with themselves, no matter where they are on their journey!

Perfect skin is a myth, healthy skin is perfect!

Fun Facts About Me!

Favorite Food?

Favorite?? I go through phases, but lately, I’m on a Greek Chicken kick!! The dilly-er the Tzatziki, the better!!

Dream Vacay?

Take me to the mountains! The Ozarks may not be the most popular or romanticized mountain range, but they have their own special magic!

Fovorite Show?

Just make me laugh! We are currently binging Letterkenny!

I also love Doctor Who, Parks and Recreation, The Good Place, Ghosts (UK & USA), and Schitt’s Creek!

Favorite Social Platform?

Instagram! Hands down!! You can find me at @Lively_Esthetics_ and @The_Lively_Esthetician_

Typical Coffee Order?

Depends on the coffee shop! I prefer to support local coffee shops over “The Bucks” any day! Love a good caramel iced latte with oat milk, or an herbal tea, hot or iced!

Favorite Color?

I’m a sucker for a rich blue/green, but I also love earthy tones!

Relaxed

I truly believe that you do not have to sacrifice relaxation to see results, and vice versa. I believe that corrective treatments and ingredients can absolutely be combined with classic spa elements.

Everything is connected and relaxing the body can have incredible effects on the skin! Simply massaging the skin can have as much benefit as a Microderm when you use the right techniques.

Empowered

My primary focus is on preserving the skin barrier while targeting my client’s concerns, so I work progressively, not aggressively.

I want to put the power to transform your skin into your hands. Yes, facials and advanced treatments are beneficial and can make a big difference, they’re only a small part of the skincare journey.

What you do at home has so much more impact on your skin than just getting facials would. 80% of progress in your skincare journey relies on what you do at home, only 20% can be credited back to your esthetician.

This is why I love to teach my clients how to build their own skincare rituals so that they can see the best results possible!

Lively

I believe in the power of cannabinoids as skincare ingredients, and have seen them work wonders in my client’s skin, as well as my own.

I am also a huge fan of herbal medicine in skincare and love to combine the power of herbs with more clinical products and ingredients.

Balance is the key to success. There is no one correct way to “do” skincare.
