Join us in welcoming Ashley Chennel to Shoeholics as the Beauty Editor!

For the last three years Ashley Chennel has been making a name for herself in the beauty industry. You may recognize her from some of your favorite beauty videos on YouTube. What some of you may not know is, Ashley has accomplished a lot more than what you’ve seen on her YouTube channel.

Born and raised in Voorhees, NJ, Ashley began her career shortly after graduating from The Connecticut School of Broadcasting. After graduating, Ashley landed her first internship at Radio One Philadelphia. During her Internship at Radio One, Ashley interned for all three stations including Philly’s Hot 107.9, 100.3 WRNB, and Praise 103.9.  Shortly after Radio One, Ashley began her second internship at The Rachael Ray Show where she made her first TV debut as one of Rachael’s Yummettes! During her internship at The Rachael Ray Show, Ashley was given the opportunity to design jewelry for Rachael Ray. Designing jewelry sparked a fire in Ashley, which inspired her to start her own jewelry line. Ashley’s next internship was at Vh1 in the on air/ off air promos department.  At Vh1 Ashley was given the opportunity to exercise her skills as a producer by co-producing a promo for the shows on Vh1. The promo never aired but is listed in her video gallery. Her last internship was at BET’s 106 and Park.  Ashley then decided to take her love for television to YouTube. In 2011 Ashley launched her own YouTube channel, where she started making videos about virgin hair. Making YouTube videos later led to product reviews and fashion videos. It wasn’t until one of her hair videos went viral in 2012 that she started to develop an audience on YouTube. People began requesting more hair videos from Ashley. As a result, her YouTube popularity began to grow and companies began to contact her to review their products. Because of Ashley’s background in television and YouTube beauty videos Ashley landed herself a spot as a commentator on the popular Style Network reality show Jerseylicious. Due to the high volume in questions about virgin hair Ashley receives, she decided to start her own virgin hair company. In 2013 Ashley Chennel launched Ashley Chennel Virgin Hair LLC.  Ashley’s YouTube channel now features videos about her own virgin hairline. There is still more to come from Ashley as she begins to Brand herself a media mogul and YouTube Beauty guru! Look out for our beauty columns in Shoeholics magazine starting with the July-Sept 2015 issue.
