About Us
Style Me PDX
Hello lovelies! My name is Ashley Berglund, Owner and Stylist of Style Me PDX.
Before I got my licenses and became a beautician in 2015, I originally went to school at Western Oregon University and received my bachelors in Criminal justice with a minor in human biology. Even though I first wanted to become a police officer and eventually a detective in homicide one day, it just was not in the stars for me after all. After a few years of thinking, and a supportive push from my husband Jared, I found a greater passion in the artistry that was the beauty industry. I studied hair design and esthetics at Beau Monde Academy of Cosmetology in Portland, OR. I am officially now living a dream I never knew was possible for me.
I basically do it all! – Haircuts and colors for women, lash extensions, full body waxing, and special event hair and makeup for weddings and photoshoots.
I’ve been able to grow a thriving Bridal company with now 7 to 8 amazing and successful stylists working with me, and my goal as a boss babe is to continue to educate, uplift, empower, and create strong women in front of me who know they are truly gifted with their talents and skills <3Â
Our goal as a team is to make our brides feel and look their very best, but it’s also our goal to leave a positive experience for every one on their wedding day! I take great pride in my team and myself for becoming one of the most preferred vendors in the great northwest in Hair and Makeup artistry

Phoebe Horttor
Lead Makeup Artist
“I’ve loved makeup since I bought my first kit and spent hours turning myself into fantasy creatures or heroines! At the start of my career I participated on multiple fashion shows and showcases before settling into bridal with Ashley. I love knowing my work goes towards someone’s perfect day and being part of such a wonderful event is an honor I cherish every time!!
Ashley and I met early on in cosmetology school and I’m proud to have had the opportunity to watch this company go from a dream to making dreams come true every season!”
Jessica Paige Griffin
Makeup Artist
Hi beautiful! My names is Jessica Griffin, and I have 10 years of experience specializing in natural to full glam makeup, As a little girl I always was fascinated by makeup I would spend hours in my room putting on makeup and taking it off and starting all over again perfecting my makeup applications. I always knew I wanted to be in the makeup industry. I knew if I felt beautiful others would too. I wanted to use my makeup skill to make others feel just like I did beautiful and unstoppable.
I got into makeup officially when I turned 18 years old, and over the years in the makeup industry I’ve had the opportunity to work with makeup brands as their makeup artist working around Oregon this allowed me to work with all skin types and ages to level up my makeup skills even more. I love the engagement I had with others while doing their makeup and getting to know what their style of beauty was.
When I met Ashley the owner of stylemePDX I knew I wanted to work with her and be a part of her amazing team. She encourages everyone’s unique style and is empowering to work with. I love that our main goal as a team is striving to make you feel beautiful for a special moment in your life.
