Ashleigh Hover, Owner

Ashleigh has been a Licensed Cosmetologist for 18 years. She has spent over a decade traveling the country educating others while working among celebrity stylists in NYC on Madison Ave. She also owned and operated 3 hair salons while spending her time behind the chair transforming the way women looked. 

When Microblading hit the beauty industry, she couldn’t live without it. Ashleigh believed it was revolutionary and was determined and dedicated to master this craft and become the best. She spent a year traveling to train with renowned Artists all around the country. After completing 6 Microblading courses, she opened Microblading Charleston in February 2017. It didn’t take long before her 5 star reviews, growing portfolio, and satisfied customers made her the most requested Artist in town. 

She believes sharing her craft and teaching others is the key to her industry’s growth and future. At her Microblading Academy she had the opportunity to meet Jonny in October 2018. After completing his training with Ashleigh, she invited him to do an apprenticeship and he soon became a permanent part of her team. Ashleigh began exploring more into the world of permanent makeup. She sought out an Artist who could provide more services to their clients. In September 2021, Lina joined the team as a Master Artist. 

Microblading Charleston now offers Lip Blushing, Powder Brows, Microblading, and Eyeliner Tattoos. Ashleigh takes pride in knowing that clients who choose Microblading Charleston will be in the hands of the most educated, skilled, and trusted Artists in South Carolina. She invites you to come share their passion while they enhance your natural beauty and confidence.
