Kelly Lefcourt is the creative heart behind Coastal by Kelly—a hairstylist, artist, and beach lover who turned art therapy into a full-blown passion. Her salon is a sunny, seaside-inspired space where art and hair come together in all the best ways. 

Kelly’s husband Chris jumps in as the unofficial hype man—sweeping floors, offering snacks, and answering calls with a smile. Together, they’ve created a joyful coastal escape where every visit feels like a little getaway.

I started as assistant for a top hair colorist at Pierre Michel salon at the Trump towers. I also worked for many other salons throughout the city to expand my knowledge from  wall street to the west village and upper manhattan. In 2003 we decided to open a salon in Brick. Best thing we ever did. After 21 years we decided to sell and now work for Coastal by Kelly.

Hi, I’m Aracely! My passion for hair and beauty has been with me for as long as I can remember. For me, hair is a creative outlet that allows me to bring ideas to life, try new things, and help people feel confident and beautiful. I love getting to know each client and creating looks that fit their individual style and personality. When I’m not behind the chair, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, making memories, and enjoying the little things in life. I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and turning my creativity into something that makes others feel their best.
