I was inspired to get into the beauty industry because, being queer, I always had a hard time finding a stylist that understood what I was looking for. I had very short hair at the time, and tried both salons and barbershops. Neither of them quite knew what to do with me. I started doing hair because I wanted to become the stylist that I had always needed for myself. I wanted someone kind, patient, bold, and with a deep understanding of the struggle that we all face surrounding our appearance and its connection to our identity.

My approach to hair care and styling is rooted in science and geometry. I try to stay away from marketing hype to help you curate the most streamlined and effective routine.

You can find Leah in the salon Wednesday through Saturdays.
