Celebrity hairstylist Ashley Streicher masters the art of straightening hair.

Welcome to Beauty Around the Clock, Marie Claire's weekly peek into the daily lives of the most influential women in their industries. How do these women manage to get through the day's work?

Ashley Striker (opens in new tab), celebrity hairstylist for Mandy Moore and Anne Hathaway and master of the fingertip styling heat-free wave, is the creator of sisters Jen (makeup artist), Christy (feather brow ( If you like easy, tousled waves like the California cool girls, the youngest of the Streicher trio, Ashley Streicher (opens in new tab), is the one-third of Striiike (opens in new tab), a Beverly Hills beauty studio she co-founded with sisters Jen (makeup artist) and Christy (creator of Feather Brow (opens in new tab)). Ashley fits the bill. Here, she talks skin care, hair rituals, and her love of vampire facials.

I've always been the type to get up with the sun, so now I'm up around 6:45 a.m.

It takes me very little time to get ready in the morning, maybe 10 minutes at most. I rinse my face with warm water and wipe it with the Croon Microfiber Cleansing Pad (open in new tab). Then use Honor MD Genetically Blessed Serum (open in new tab). Once that is dry, apply Facile Essence Hydration (open in new tab). Finally, apply Iris & Romeo 5-1 (opens in new tab) [skincare with SPF].

After washing and conditioning, wrap wet hair in towel turban and apply 2-4 pumps of R+Co Suncatcher Power C Boosting Leave-In Conditioner (opens in new tab) to untouched, unbrushed wet hair. Squeeze the product into the ends and slowly work it through the rest of the hair without disturbing the natural waves created by the towel turban too much. Then dry with a hair dryer without touching the hair. This will prevent frizz. I also add one to two pumps of leave-in to dry hair when I want to fix my hair style or when I want to tousle my hair (or simply want it to smell good).

Tower 28 Beauty SuperDew Shimmer-Free Highlight Balm, (opens in new tab) Gucci Westman mascara (opens in new tab), Beautycounter Overnight Resurfacing Peel (opens in new tab), and Beautycounter lipstick red [similar to this shade (opens in new tab)].

I don't eat much breakfast. I like black coffee and sometimes drink smoothies.

I actually have a real signature scent called "Stars Align," a fragrance I designed for R+CO (opens in new tab) and my collection, it's a woody scent with notes of palo santo, but fresh and light. It is a unisex, California-inspired fragrance.

Microneedling and multi-platelet plasma [PRP] injections [better known as vampire facials (opens in new tab)]. This is where they take a small vial of your own blood, spin it, separate the red blood cells from the plasma, and then microneedle it back into your face. This regenerates collagen and improves the texture of your skin. It sounds like a crazy procedure, but it really isn't. It's natural and you're not putting something into your face that isn't in your body.

Say yes to all the work. It's really hard in the beginning, so you have to be able to say yes whenever possible.

I usually rinse my face with a Kroon microfiber cleansing pad (opens in new tab) and apply a light moisturizer from Facil Essence (opens in new tab). Finally, retinol eye serum by Colleen Rothschild (opens in new tab).

The Now in Tobacco's Room Elixir Spray (opens in new tab).

I'm usually asleep by 10 p.m.

and I'm always ready for a good night's sleep.
