• Kelsey Crawford

    Owner

    Master Stylist

    Kelsey always grew up knowing she wanted to teach and do hair. She has also always loved business, marketing and had dreams of being an entrepreneur. Here is where it all came together. After doing hair in the Treasure Valley for over 13+ years, with the help of her husband Jerry, they opened A Beautiful Reaction in March of 2019. Kelsey wanted to open a non toxic, green concept salon that was safe for not only clients but stylists as well. She wanted to bring a new salon “experience” to the Treasure Valley for our guests that make them feel educated. Involving the chemistry of hair, as well as up front and transparent pricing, always keeping the clients needs in mind.

    Hi, I’m Ashley! I was born in Birmingham Alabama, but have lived in Meridian most of my life! I am lucky enough to get to carry out both my passions of working on the business side of things for A Beautiful Reaction, while also caring for little humans in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (I am also a NICU nurse)!

    Guest Relations

    Hi everyone, I’m Trinity! I was born and raised in Puyallup Washington. About a year after I graduated high school, I moved down to Destin Florida with my boyfriend for about a year and a half. After living down south I realized that I really missed living up in the northwest, and I’m super happy I can make Idaho my new home! Outside of the salon I enjoy going snowboarding with friends/family or playing video games with my dad and boyfriend! At the moment I’m working the front desk while I attend school at Oliver Finley to get my cosmetology license. I am truly passionate with helping others while making them feel their best! Hopefully one day I will be able to have you in my chair!
