Coshocton spa has energetic new owner
COSHOCTON − A new business has already changed hands, and today's owner said she's committed to providing the same services and more to the community.
Jade Hasseman opened Jade's Oasis Spa in December. She's leaving Coshocton to pursue other opportunities and the business at 303 S. Fourth St. has been taken over by Ashton Shivers as Ashton's Esthetics and Spa.
Shivers, 19, is a 2021 graduate of Ridgewood High School and graduated from Aveda Institute esthetics school in February. She went to work for Wild Styles Salon in April and was introduced to Hasseman.
"She had a few other people she was talking to, but Jade texted me and said she thought I would be the perfect person for her clients, because we're very similar. She didn't want a huge change from her happy-go-lucky energy to someone more moderate and low energy. She knows her clients like it when they can come in and chat the whole time," Shivers said. "This was an amazing opportunity and I never thought this would happen so soon for me."
Shivers is a licensed esthetician focused on skin care. A few of her services include skin care consultations, facials, dermaplaning, facial waxing and brow henna. Body waxing is something new she's offering Hasseman didn't. In the future, Shivers would like to add HydraFacials and body sculpting. She's bringing in a specialist Oct. 1 to do botox, lip injections and related services. The specialist will come in every couple of months.
Shivers said growing up she and her sister would often have sleepovers where they did face masks and put on nail polish for fun. Initially, Shivers thought about being a dental hygienist, but shifted gears after researching esthetician school.
"It keeps me excited and happy all day, because I get to see new people everyday. Everybody likes different things. Everybody wants different things. So, it's never the same with any person. It keeps me going, because I like to do different things," Shivers said.
Esthetician services have grown in popularity over the last few years, Shivers said.
"I feel like beauty that is something all women, and men, strive for. There's a lot of services that don't alter you personally, but can enhance your natural features and make you feel a little better about the things you don't like about yourself or you think are flawed," Shivers said.
Ashton's Esthetics and Spa is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 1 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 740-761-2949 or go to the spa's website.
