Bio
Abi Ayres is known for her presence on Instagram, but as with everyone, there’s much more to the person behind the photos and videos. She grew up in Park City, Utah, served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and traveled the world. She’s now married with kids, works a job in event planning, which she loves, and turned to Instagram as her form of journaling. Her infamous “Carol haircut” happened in the summer of 2019, and because of her Instagram documentation, her reaction video went viral and she found herself as a new “Insta-star.” As she states, “People come for Carol, and stay for Abi.”
