Meet Our Team

Hello! I’m Ashley Williams, co-owner of Williams & Roy Salon, and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to bring a new type of hair experience to the neighborhood. As a Decatur native and small business owner, I know that people in this community are actively engaged, hard-working professionals with a keen awareness of value. I personally understand how important (and difficult) it can be to relax and let yourself be taken care of, which is why I’ve made it our mission to provide a luxurious atmosphere where you can recharge and indulge in some much needed self-care.

I’ve been in the salon industry for more than twenty years, not only as a stylist but also as an educator and mentor. I love creating custom haircuts and colors that use modern looks and techniques and that will fit your personality and lifestyle. I guess you could say my specialty is balancing form and function. Natural curls are my passion, and as a curly girl myself, rest assured that I understand the quirks and magic that come with textured hair. I also proudly offer gender-neutral pricing, which means that the price of your haircut is determined by the length, density, and complexity of your desired style and not by your gender identity.

When I’m not in the salon, I’m busy being a super extra dog mom and paying WAY too much attention to politics and current events. I am passionate about my beliefs and I thrive when I am actively involved in making my community, and the world, a better place. When you’re in my chair, I won’t just “do your hair;” I’ll work to get to know you and your hair. I can’t wait to meet you and start the journey.

Hi I’m Rachel and I love making people look and feel their very best.

I am an Atlanta-based professional hairstylist and makeup artist who has been in the business since 2003, where I started as an assistant, received my license for Master of Cosmetology in 2005, and also received training by MAC cosmetics for makeup artistry. My love of makeup and hair artistry started early. Whether it was playing in my mom’s makeup drawer or cutting my Barbie’s hair. I always knew I belonged in the beauty industry! I have been inspired by all things beauty ever since I was a little girl.

In order to stay current and keep up with the latest trends, I attend yearly shows all over the country and have taken classes taught by some of the most prominent celebrity stylists like Justin Anderson, who is known for Jennifer Anniston’s hair color; and Tracey Cunningham who is the colorist for Emma Stone, Drew Barrymore and J.Lo. As a licensed Master Cosmetologist, I specialize in custom hair color and makeup artistry. My work spans from weddings to black tie events to headshots. My passion for enhancing natural beauty shows in my hair and makeup applications and client interactions.

As a stylist, there’s something magical about seeing someone’s confidence grow when they feel their best. It’s empowering. My goal as an artist is to have every person who sits in my chair feel confident, empowered and beautiful (or handsome), all while being in a comfortable environment!

Hope to see you in my chair soon!

Hello! My name is Lexi and I’ve been a stylist since 2020. I have a love for all things hair and find joy in getting to know the person in my chair and help create a style that helps them feel confident. I have a special love for color, ranging from gray coverage to blonding to modern fashion color. Whether you want to maintain a simple and classic style or go for a big transformation, I’m here for it! 

When I’m not behind the chair, I love to go out and explore what’s new in Atlanta. I’m also just as content to stay home with takeout, put on an episode of Impractical Jokers and snuggle up with my fur babies. 

Feel free to check out some of my work on my IG below I’ll see you soon!

Kalysa joined the Williams & Roy team last year, and as a student working towards her degree in Environmental Science, she shares our passion for sustainability. She is hoping to pursue a career in guiding environmental policies for local government, but until then, we are so lucky to have her coordinating our schedules and running our Social Media.

Kerry began his career in hair almost 35 years ago, truly learning the business from the ground up. It was the ‘80’s and he worked as a shampoo assistant after school. He loved everything about it, big hair, wild clothes and a truly creative work environment. Kerry went on to be a top colorist at VanMicheal and eventually opened his own salon in Grayton Beach, FL. Realizing he missed the energy of a big city, he moved to New York (it doesn’t get any bigger than that!) where he worked at several top salons. But getting back to his roots is what brought him back to his hometown of Atlanta where he has been for the last decade, cultivating a clientele and building quality relationships with his clients. Kerry has defined his approach to hair as classic foundations with a modern edge.

Ever since I was a little girl practicing on my dolls, I have loved doing hair. My parents thought it was just a cute little phase, but that passion has persisted even through today. I believe that this industry is the best in the world and it never feels like work to me. Even after completing cosmetology school, I continued to expand my knowledge. I completed certifications with Bumble and Bumble’s Network Education program in New York as well as several continuing education classes in color correction and innovative cutting. I like to think that I will always be a student because this industry is always changing.
I grew up just outside of Decatur, so I am familiar with the Avondale community and it will always be close to my heart. Whether you need a color correction, a new cut, texture added or a vivid pop of color, I am up for the challenge! My ultimate goal is to return you to yourself while bringing out more of your best you. Consultations are always complimentary. I love helping my clients decide what color, style, and maintenance plan will work best with their individual lifestyle, and I will suggest the products to best bring your hair goals to life. I hope to see you soon!
