Ashley Post
Ashley Post has been perfecting her craft for 18 years!
After graduating from Norwich Tech in 2006, Ashley started working at Cost Cutters in both Norwich and Avon. She later became the manager at Hair Cuttery and grew her leadership skills coaching other stylists while still being behind the chair.
The pandemic caused that salon chain to close so Ashley ventured off on her own and found a home at Paragon Salon & Spa 4 years ago - best move she has made for both herself and her clients.
Ashley specializes in color, men's cuts, formal styles, and fantasy colors. She has the magic touch when cutting children's hair!
When not in the salon, you can find Ashley spending time with her big family, hanging out with friends, and pulling pranks on her loved ones - don't book an appointment with her on April Fool's Day
