Chelsea Kerr is a freelance hairstylist hailing from Edmonton, AB. With a family involved in theatre, television, and movie production, her knack for cosplay and wig styling began early as she designed, built, and showcased wigs and costumes beginning in high school.

After successfully graduating from Marvel College’s school of hair design, she entered the workforce immediately and has spent 6 years honing her craft and found a specialty in unique colours and colour corrections. She also serves as a wig builder and designer for members of Edmonton’s drag community.
