If you have ever left a stylist disappointed, please go see Leah. Leah literally has excelled at everything I have asked of her. I used to have stylists who were great at color but not so much with cutting or vice versa. There was always something I did not care for. After finding Leah 7 years ago or so, I have…
Leah is a wizard. I never really thought I could get my hair the color blonde I coveted (my hair usually turns pretty orangey when I lighten it). But she got me to blonde and is such a pro at that natural painted look. Her salon is clean and inviting and she always has snacks and refreshments. She’s also just a…
It was my first time getting my hair colored with Leah and she was great! Her salon is super cute with a clean/beachy-boho aesthetic. Leah was kind and accommodating. She was also a perfectionist-making sure I was happy with the results before leaving-which I really appreciated. I'd highly recommend her!
Leah always does an amazing job on my hair. My hair color has never been more on point and my extensions are so comfortable. Leah always makes me feel comfortable and gives me everything I need for my hair !
Amazing. F***ing beautiful a** hair.
I cannot say enough great words about freaking Leah!! She is AMAZING!! She literally transformed me into looking and feeling like a GODDESS!!! Leah is your girl if you are looking for cut, color or extensions. Loveeeeeeeeee her!
There are no words to describe how incredible Leah is. I love that she doesn't ask "what do you want to do with your hair," but she starts with "how do you want to FEEL?" She's a different breed of stylist- she goes above and beyond to understand you as a PERSON before cutting your hair, because she knows it is an…
Had a hair appointment with Leah today, and she was amazing. She is always amazing, but especially today, my cut and color turned out awesome!!! And as always, the Kevin Murphy products she used DO EXACTLY what they said they would do! I have volume, hold or beautiful beach waves, and smell lovely. Go see Leah for…
Leah is the best! Whenever moving to a new city there’s that dreaded time to find your person! I was relieved when I met her and she worked her magic on my color! She’s a PRO and does excellent work! I’ve recommended her to everyone I know, it’s an easy recco when I’m constantly getting compliments on my color and…
Leah is such an Amazing!Talented! Hair Dresser! She always sees your vision for your dream hair and gives the best advice! 100/10 would recommend 💕

Leah is a true professional and always seeking to be up to date with all the new trends and methods. She invests into her business to make sure that her clients are getting the absolute best and that she is knowledgeable in all things hair. Her booking system is very convenient and easy to use. Book with her and you won’t be disappointed.
Leah is so good at what she does!! She does amazing color and even more amazing extensions. Don't think twice about scheduling with her!!
Let me start by saying I’ve have a lot of insecurities with my hair in the past. I’ve always dreamed of having long healthy hair that I was proud of, but my naturally very thin and fine hair wasn’t in agreement. When I first went to Leah, I had an insane about of bleach and Covid breakage and my ends were snapped…
What isn’t there to say about Leah?! She is truly an artist, and always makes me feel like my best self. She makes her clients feel like she’s known them for years at their first visit, and building that rapport really makes for the cherry on top of her services. I’ve done just about everything under the sun with my…
Leah took me from long red locks to short & sassy blonde, seamlessly!! I had been thinking about it for years, but was scared to take the plunge. She talked me through the steps, (realistically)and helped me understand the process. Now, I wonder why I waited so long! Change is fun!!! And although I've not had…
Leah is the best. Not only is she amazing at coloring but extensions as well. Thin hair has been my biggest insecurity and getting hair extensions with Leah has changed my life! I’m so much more confident now and she makes them look SO natural, people ask me if it’s my real hair! I had almost shoulder length hair…
Leah is the best hairdresser I have ever been to! I have been going to her for 3 years now and she has completely transformed my hair. I have always struggled with thin/fine hair that would always break off and stop growing at a certain length. Since going to Leah my hair is the longest and healthiest it has ever…
Leah is one of the sweetest humans I know! She is so attentive not only to the needs of your hair but just your needs as a human sitting in her chair. She really listens to you and checks in with you throughout your whole appointment to see how you’re doing and how your experience is. She has snacks and yummy drinks…
This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had getting my hair done and I’m definitely going to continue going to this kind gal for all my hair needs, she’s so knowledgeable and really takes the time to make her clients comfortable.
Leah is the real deal. I once told another stylist what I wanted and they said “this is a comb, not a wand” lol, but l beg to differ when it comes to Leah - her comb is a wand. She gives people what they want EVERY TIME. I’m always at ease when I come to her adorable studio, she takes amazing care of me from the…
Leah is hands-down the best hairstylist I’ve ever known! I originally went to her for a consultation about extensions because I saw what magic she worked on her clients. While I decided on that, she cut and colored my hair and it made me realize that I didn’t need extensions at all. She makes my natural hair look…
I've been going to Leah for my hair cuts and color for well over a decade. She always checks in to make sure I loved my color from last time, and checks to see how well it held up since my last visit. I'm 80%+ gray, and she has found the perfect way to cover all of my gray, and started to use highlights to make the…
I have been coming to Leah for years! The space is always calming, and easy to relax in. My hair is the healthiest it’s ever been, and it’s the best it’s ever looked. She is knowledgeable about her craft and I can ask her any question. 10/10 recommend!
Leah is amazing. My hair is tough to color and I always leave super happy with how it looks. Great consultation and execution, and I know she's always working to learn new skills and add to her already impressive knowledge base. So glad I found her!
I started visiting Leah about six months before my wedding for color. She completely changed my approach to hair color (low maintenance!) and outlook on hair care. I decided to do extensions for my wedding day and the process was seamless. I loved them so much that I kept them in for months afterward. Leah is so…
Leah is a skilled hairstylist. She always gives me the best lived-in blonde. Highly recommend.
I love my hair extensions!!! Best hair decision I’ve ever made. Leah sent me home with full size products after my first visit and she makes booking my maintenance appointments super easy. Leah is super flexible and her salon feels so homey from the decor to the delicious coffee. Thank you for making my hair beautiful!!
I love coming to Leah and her comfortable salon space to get my hair done. She has set up the appointments and reminders to make it easy and helpful, the quality of products and hair color she uses makes my hair feel so healthy and soft. She offers a delicious coffee drink when I arrive and healthy snacks for when…
I am so happy I found Leah Nakata Hair when I did! From booking to the end of the process, Leah is very thorough and detailed and caters the experience to you. Her knowledge, passion, and understanding of one’s hair is truly amazing and comforting to know that she really does care about hair health. This was my…
Leah has turned me into the blonde I have always wanted to be! I started seeing her with highlights and after consultation and guidance we took me to a full bleach. I have been loving it! On top of being talented, she is kind, sweet and funny. I have recommended Leah to family and friends.
If you’re looking for someone who can give you natural, lived-in color while keeping your hair healthy and happy—Leah is your girl! There’s a reason she’s the only person who has touched my hair color over the past 8 years. She is pure gold, and 100% worth the investment. You’ll love your results!
Leah has been working with my hair for the past 6 years and it’s been one of the best decision I’ve made in my life! I am Japanese/German and I used to struggle daily and just ended up straightening it or put it in a bun. After going to Leah, all I have to do it air dry and let my hair do their thing and it looks…
Leah is amazing! Super talented and knowledgeable. She always makes your feel welcome and provides a incredibly professional and fun experience. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a hair stylist or extension expert.
Leah is an absolute sweetheart, she is very professional and she is by far so amazing at her trade! I’ve been wanting to be blonde for YEARS and she finally got me there on the first try! She is extremely talented!
