Located in West Seneca, NY, Ashley Lynn Esthetics is redefining the skincare industry with a focus on education, personalized treatments, and community support. Founded by Ashley Velardo, a licensed esthetician and passionate educator, the business specializes in outcome-driven facials tailored for acne-prone, hyperpigmented, and health compromised skin types. Beyond skincare treatments, Ashley is committed to mentoring new estheticians, offering guidance in an industry that often lacks support for newcomers.
Ashley’s journey into esthetics was not conventional. Initially pursuing a career in criminal justice, she realized her true calling was in skincare—something she had personally struggled with since childhood. After trying numerous treatments and medications for her own skin concerns, she understood the frustration many people face when dealing with difficult skin. This firsthand experience fuels her commitment to offering effective, results-driven solutions for her clients. “I’ve always been passionate about skincare,” says Ashley. “I know what it’s like to feel insecure about your skin, and I want to help people regain their confidence.”
What sets Ashley Lynn Esthetics apart is its education-first approach. Clients receive not just treatments, but also in-depth knowledge about their skin. Ashley believes that skincare should be empowering, not overwhelming, which is why she takes the time to explain every product and technique used. Her goal is to help clients understand the “why” behind their treatments, ensuring they feel confident in their skincare routines.
In addition to her work with clients, Ashley has expanded her impact by mentoring esthetician students and recent graduates across the country. Recognizing the lack of accessible guidance for new professionals in the beauty industry, she established a mentorship program designed to provide clarity and confidence to those entering the field. “This industry can be cutthroat,” Ashley explains. “I had no one guiding me when I started, and I don’t want others to feel lost like I did. That’s why I created my mentorship program—to offer real support without gatekeeping.”
Through virtual consultations and learning opportunities, Ashley has built a nationwide network of clients and students. Her ability to connect with individuals beyond her local community has been instrumental in expanding the reach of Ashley Lynn Esthetics. Whether offering customized facials in her West Seneca studio or guiding new estheticians via virtual mentorship, Ashley remains dedicated to fostering confidence and education in all aspects of skincare.
As an Indigenous and woman-owned business, Ashley Lynn Esthetics also represents resilience and empowerment. Built from the ground up without external guidance or industry connections, Ashley’s success story is one of determination and self-made achievement. Her commitment to lifting others up—whether clients seeking skin confidence or estheticians looking for direction—makes Ashley Lynn Esthetics more than just a skincare studio; it is a place of transformation and support.
