Timeless Color. Thoughtful Care.

A Calm Space for Thoughtful, Beautiful Hair

At Refined Roots Studio, every appointment begins with a conversation. I believe great hair starts with truly understanding your lifestyle, your goals, and how you want to feel when you look in the mirror.

With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in natural-looking color, gray coverage, and low-maintenance styles designed for real life. My approach is relaxed, intentional, and focused on long-term hair health—so you leave feeling confident, refreshed, and cared for.

This is more than just a hair appointment. It’s a personal, one-on-one experience in a private studio where you can unwind, feel heard, and enjoy a little time just for you.

Intentional Services, Tailored to You

Whether you’re refreshing your signature look or ready for something new, every service is customized to fit your lifestyle, hair goals, and maintenance preferences.

From seamless gray coverage to dimensional color and precision cuts, I focus on creating natural, polished results that grow out beautifully and feel effortless between appointments.

You’ll never feel rushed, overbooked, or like “just another client.” This is your time.

Meet Ashley

Ashley Cosby is the owner and stylist behind Refined Roots Studio. With over 8 years of experience, she’s known for her calm, welcoming energy and her thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to hair.

Ashley discovered her passion early—styling friends’ hair and makeup throughout high school—and knew by her early teens that becoming a hairstylist was her dream. After graduating from The Salon Professional Academy in Fort Myers, Florida in 2013, she built her career in a prestigious Fort Myers salon before opening her own private studio. Today, she brings that same dedication and heart to every guest she serves.

Clients often say what sets Ashley apart is how deeply she listens. She takes the time to truly understand your goals, your lifestyle, and how you want to feel—so you leave not only loving your hair, but feeling cared for.

Outside the studio, Ashley loves time with her husband, three kids, and her Boston Terrier, Bia. You’ll usually find her with an iced coffee or chai latte in hand, embracing “Jeep life,” and enjoying the simple moments that make life beautiful.

“Can’t wait to meet you in my chair! – Ashley”

“Ashley is the only person I trust with my hair. I've been going to her for a couple of years now and I plan on going to her forever!!! I get balayage, hair treatments, and my haircuts with her. She's the best.”— Haley P
