In the heart of Bronx, New York, my journey in the beauty industry has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. My name is Ashley Opoku, and I am the CEO and Founder of Akua Ashley, LLC and Beauty & Cosmetics Enterprise. From a young age, I dreamt of becoming an editor-in-chief, but as I grew older, my passion shifted towards makeup artistry. I found joy in helping others feel confident and beautiful, and this passion naturally extended into other parts of the beauty industry. Starting as a makeup artist, I engaged myself in the craft, continually sharpening my skills and staying up-to-date with the latest beauty trends and techniques.

Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, I decided to expand my horizons beyond makeup artistry. I ventured into wholesaling human hair, which marked the beginning of my raid into the more comprehensive beauty supply industry. This move was instrumental in shaping my vision of creating a wide beauty enterprise. With a clear vision in mind, I established my makeup studio in New Rochelle, NY. I aimed to provide top-notch services in a welcoming atmosphere where clients could feel at ease and pampered. This studio became a cornerstone of my business, reflecting my commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

My journey is determined not only by my hands-on experience but also by my dedication to continuous learning. I have earned certifications from esteemed institutions such as Parsons School of Design, and the UK's New Skills Academy. These credentials in hospitality, marketing, business management, salon management, and hairstyling have equipped me with a total understanding of the industry, enabling me to offer excellent services and products. However, my mission extends beyond personal success. I am passionate about empowering others, which is why I adopted the title of a Beauty Ethentist someone who is people-oriented, innovative, refreshing, and stylish. Through my online beauty site, I share insights on the latest trends, offer courses, and provide product recommendations. I also host workshops aimed at inspiring wealth creation and self-discovery among women.

Today, Akua Ashley LLC stands as a powerhouse supplier of hair, cosmetics, and spa supplies. We offer a diverse range of online products and services, catering to the needs of beauty enthusiasts and professionals alike. My journey displays the fusion of passion, skill, and empowerment, and I hope to inspire countless individuals in the beauty and entrepreneurship landscape to pursue their dreams.
