Founder & Owner

Kelsey Erin Womack

Specialties
Balayage Specialist, Natural Looking Color, Blondes, French Hair Cutting, Blowouts Styling

Bio
With over two decades of industry experience, Kelsey is founder and owner of Kelsey Erin Salon + Shop, which she debuted 2018 in the heart of Kirkwood, Atlanta. Since opening, Kelsey has nurtured a team of experienced stylists who are equally as passionate about their craft as they are attuned to high-quality service and comfort. 

Kelsey began her career at Jamison Shaw Hairdressers in Buckhead, where she worked alongside Candy Shaw and developed her skills as an educator in balayage and training. She went on to expand her craft internationally at the prestigious Dessange International School of Paris, and in New York City working with renowned French stylist Alessandro Mangerini. Her training includes certification in Masters of Balayage, razor cutting, Bumble and Bumble styling, and Halo Hair extensions.

As a natural leader with a big taste for adventure, she decided to build her own business in Atlanta where creativity, authenticity, and beauty could be experienced for clients and stylists alike. Kelsey Erin Salon + Shop has grown into a highly recognizable salon that prioritizes a timeless approach to style while being the present pulse of neighborhood. 

Today, Kelsey’s leadership blends artistry with heart. Outside the salon, she loves to travel, spend time in nature, and get lost in her passion for gardening. Through her GrowLove Missions project, she sells rooted plants from her collection to support community initiatives both locally and abroad.
