Glam & Glow Beauty

In this episode, Alison welcomes Ashley Jones, Camden County “implant” (by marriage 😄) and owner of Glam & Glow Beauty and Body Services, to talk about building a beauty business that’s rooted in care, education, and comfort. Ashley explains how she started with makeup, but because so many clients kept asking about skin, she went back to school to specialize in skincare and body waxing. Now she offers custom facials, relaxing facials, body waxing (including underarms and Brazilian), and skincare consultations — all in a private, welcoming suite on Hwy 40 in St. Marys.Ashley breaks down her philosophy that skincare is 80/20 — she’s only 20% of the journey, and the other 80% is what clients do at home. That’s why she spends so much time educating people about exfoliation, ingrown hairs, product ingredients like hyaluronic acid, and choosing products meant for their skin — not just what’s trending on TikTok.Full Show Noteshttps://camdenchamber.com/getnyour-bis/glam-glow-bbs🎧 Clickable Chapter Markers01:19– Meet today’s guest: Ashley Jones, Glam & Glow Beauty & Body Services 01:36– “I’m an implant!” Ashley’s Camden County story 02:18– From makeup artist to skincare & waxing pro 03:02– Why clients kept asking about skin 03:35– What Glam & Glow offers now (custom facials, relaxing facials, waxing) 04:16– The 80/20 rule of skincare: you do most of the work 04:57– Relaxing vs corrective facials 05:30– Underarm waxing?!
