Ashley Pike
Aesthetician
Ashley is a passionate aesthetician whose favorite part about skin is that everyone’s treatment plan is different and unique. There are so many ways to treat the skin, and Ashley wants to work with you to achieve all your goals and then maintain them. Her favorite treatment is microneedling. When not helping clients achieve glowing skin, she’s spending time with her two beautiful boys. Ashley loves to be outdoors, in a Pilates class, following her faith, and studying the full body and skin connection.
Sage Ellison
Client Liaison
Sage has a background in psychology and has always been pulled toward helping people. Because she is not using her degree in a medical capacity, she wanted to find another way to help people. Having always been interested in the beauty industry, it seemed like a great fit. Helping people feel great in their own skin also helps them feel better on the inside. Sage enjoys going to events, meeting new people, and sharing the benefits of skin care with Bella Medspa.
In her free time, Sage enjoys spending time with family, friends, and her sweet dog. She loves going to music festivals, concerts, or anywhere she can dance the night away. She enjoys staying in shape with dance aerobics, yoga, and pilates. Sage still has a student mentality and loves learning about the latest skin care products and treatments to best inform everyone about the benefits.
