Kelly Chapin - Co-owner

Kelly grew up in the Frederick area and graduated from Hood College. For the next six years, she ventured across the United States working in wildlife biology. After working in various habitats and with many plant and animal species, she completed a Masters in Marine Resource Management at Oregon State University. Fortuitous circumstances took her to Monterey, California where she worked and volunteered with various non-profit organizations who strive to protect the marine environment. She also worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as a Spatial Projects Coordinator, primarily working on the digital mapping of Marine Protected Areas and their protection status. Ready for a change, but still very interested in protecting the environment, Kelly (along with Earl) decided to combine their expertise to open an environmentally-friendly hair salon in an effort to increase environmental awareness and do what we can to improve in an industry that is not known for sustainability. She hopes that Natural Fusion Hair Studio will contribute towards a re-thinking of harmful salon practices.
