Kelsie Briggs
Hey Guys! Kelsie here, owner and stylist at Salon 105. I specialize in all things extensions and blondes. I have been doing hair since 2013. Seeking out higher education to bring into the salon for myself and my team is something I take immense pride in. I enjoy following some of my favorite stylists and many other instagram influencers for inspiration. Staying up to date in the latest trends is something I consider really important in my career and the beauty industry. After being certified in several extension methods I was given the opportunity to become a territory educator for Bello Haven Hair Extensions. I travel to educate people in this amazing product and method. Teaching is quickly becoming one of my biggest passions. My husband Cody, who is also my high school sweetheart <3, and I have two kiddos Ellie and Leo. In my spare time I enjoy having friends over for card night, spending the entire day by the pool & cooking out, taking walks with my family, and going to MSHS sporting events. I have big dreams for myself and the salon and I can’t wait to continue to make my dreams a reality with all of your continued support! Xoxo

I appreciate the fact that, with this time, I have been allowed to grow and evolve with the beauty industry in such amazing ways. I specialize in blondes and in 2018 I had the privilege of traveling to San Diego to take a Masters of Balayage course with Ryan Weeden. I am also certified in hand-tied. I have a special place in my heart for the curly girls, too. I love working with my guests to come up with a plan to best manage all textures of hair.
