Meet Our Team
Meaghan Marie Patno
Owner & Founder of Beauty Unfiltered
Board Certified Cosmetologist & Esthetician
One of five sisters who are all interested in the skin and beauty industry, Meaghan has spent the past 12 years working in full-service salons from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago, before moving to Tampa.
After decades of personally using and testing hair and skin products across the spectrum, she created Beauty Unfiltered to share her research and product knowledge to ensure women meet or exceed their beauty goals. Meaghan is dedicated to clean, organic, non-toxic products and services, and to living a “crunchy” lifestyle.
“I’m all about results-driven, non-invasive treatments with amazing, lasting results. I want “the surgery without the surgery” and the “injection results without the injections”! I also help educate clients on simple home care maintenance to maximize results for longer,” she says.
Meaghan has been married to her husband and chief cheerleader, Tim, for one decade. While they originally met in Chicago, they lived in multiple states and cities before making Tampa their home. In 2021, they welcomed son Clark Kent Patno, affectionately known as Superman. Meaghan loves to host an annual Halloween party for him and all their friends; it is an event everyone looks forward to each year. When she is not watching Korean skincare videos, Meaghan enjoys trying all the local foodie spots Tampa Bay has to offer!
Abby Brownell
Medical Esthetician
Born and raised in New England, Abby and her husband, Zach, originally a Tampa native, moved to Tampa in 2022 with their 9-year-old son to get out of the cold. Her love of skincare originated from watching her mother perform a detailed regimen as a child. Abby turned her love of skincare into a career out of an innate desire to enjoy what she did for a living.
“I absolutely adore making other people feel good. I think self-love is very important and self-actualization is something I practice in my own daily life,” she says. Abby is passionate about clean beauty and self-care. She dislikes our screen-focused, toxic-product norm. “I believe being a part of Beauty Unfiltered is a blessing. Focusing on clean products that nourish our skin while taking the time to focus on self-care and looking and feeling amazing aligns with my own values and beliefs,” she says.
Abby just welcomed a baby boy on May 1st. She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and getting outdoors.
Ashley Wallach
Client Experience & Brand Manager
After working for 15 years as a public-school English teacher, Ashley began working as a copywriter and social media consultant two years ago starting as a copywriter for Tampa Magazine. Her finesse with words and talent for bringing brand visions to life has helped Beauty Unfiltered relaunch into a full salon with a multitude of new services and providers.
She brings her experience as a long-time English Department Chair and FOH restaurant manager to the table as she helps ensure that each client has a fantastic, healthful, and transformative experience that is true to the health, safety, and beauty standards that represent Beauty Unfiltered LLC.
Ashley is passionate about holistic health and fitness. An avid exerciser and cook, she spends a lot of her time keeping her family healthy.
“I believe what we put on and in our bodies is the foundation of health and wellness. Many people care about what they eat but forget that our skin is our largest organ that literally absorbs everything we put on it,” she says.
Ashley has always been obsessed with self-care, getting monthly massages and facials for the past decade. She is always looking for the coolest new beauty treatment but values an effective result. A clean shopper, Ashley reads the ingredients on all food and beauty products for herself and her two children, Ava, 8, and Jason, 4.
“There is so much disease and sickness because we poison ourselves daily with our food and products. I am beyond excited to work for a business that prides itself on helping its clients look and feel absolutely amazing,” she says.
When she isn’t trying new recipes or attending fitness classes, Ashley enjoys reading, paddleboarding, and spending time at the beach with her family.
Rachel Zarazee
Medical Esthetician
An Indianapolis native, Rachel moved to Florida in 2021 to embark on a new chapter in her life. With a background in home health care – a role she found both rewarding and foundational for building a career centered around helping others- Rachel discovered her true passion in beauty and skincare.
“Combining my love for beauty with my desire to assist others has been incredibly fulfilling. My goal is to help women feel beautiful and confident, and it’s empowering for me to facilitate their journey toward becoming the best version of themselves,” Rachel says.
Rachel is enthusiastic about offering customized Beauty Unfiltered facials to clients seeking both relaxation and exceptional results. She graduated from Cortiva Institute as a medical esthetician and is also certified in lash extensions and spray tanning.
In her leisure time, Rachel enjoys trying new restaurants with friends, going on spontaneous adventures, and snuggling with her three rabbits and her pit bull, Winnie.
