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…

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…

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.

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 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.

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…

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…
