Our Mission: Transforming Beauty and Wellness Through Expert Care and Self-Care
At Scissors & Ink, located in the heart of the St. Louis Metro East area, our mission goes far beyond hairstyling and scalp treatments. Founded by Ashley Rodgers, our salon is rooted in the belief that beauty and wellness are interconnected. Every service we offer, from scalp facials to permanent makeup, is designed with one purpose: to help our clients embrace self-care, rediscover confidence, and leave feeling refreshed and empowered.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the mission of Ashley and Scissors & Ink, exploring what sets us apart and how we’re redefining beauty and self-care in the region.
The Mission: Elevating Beauty, Embracing Self-Care
Ashley’s mission is simple yet powerful:
"To deliver an elevated salon and head spa experience where clients can escape the stresses of daily life and embrace self-care."
This mission stems from her years of experience in the beauty industry and her passion for helping people feel their best, inside and out. Whether you’re here for a precision haircut, a rejuvenating scalp facial, or a customized permanent makeup session, our goal is to create a space where you can relax, recharge, and feel truly cared for.
Rooted in Clean Beauty and Wellness
Ashley’s commitment to clean beauty is at the core of everything we do. Using premium, eco-friendly products like Kevin Murphy, Davines, and Monat, we ensure every treatment not only delivers exceptional results but also supports your overall well-being. Clean beauty isn’t just a trend—it’s a philosophy that aligns with our mission to offer services that are as safe and nourishing as they are effective.
The Importance of Personalized Care
No two clients are the same, which is why personalization is central to our approach. Ashley takes the time to understand each client’s unique needs and goals, whether it’s achieving healthier hair, addressing scalp concerns, or enhancing natural beauty through permanent makeup. This individualized care ensures that every client receives a tailored experience that reflects their personality, style, and preferences.
A Focus on Scalp Health and Hair Wellness
One of the most distinctive aspects of Ashley’s mission is her focus on scalp health—a critical yet often overlooked aspect of beauty. By offering innovative scalp facial and head spa treatments, Ashley helps clients achieve healthier hair from the root up. These treatments are not only transformative for hair health but also provide a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience, allowing clients to prioritize self-care in a meaningful way.
Why Self-Care Matters in the St. Louis Metro East
Life can be hectic, and finding time for yourself often feels impossible. Ashley understands that beauty services are more than just a way to look good—they’re an opportunity to feel good, to pause and focus on yourself. Our mission is to provide a sanctuary where clients from Maryville, Glen Carbon, Edwardsville, and beyond can escape the daily grind and invest in their well-being.
Empowering Confidence Through Expertise
Ashley’s mission isn’t just about providing services—it’s about empowering clients to feel confident in their own skin. Whether it’s through a perfectly executed haircut, a vibrant new hair color, or a custom scalp treatment, every service is designed to uplift and inspire confidence.
Here’s what Ashley believes:
Beauty is about embracing your individuality.
Wellness is about taking time for yourself.
Confidence comes from feeling your best.

Ashley’s vision for Scissors & Ink extends beyond offering exceptional services. She aims to make the salon a hub for innovation, education, and community.
