Born and raised in the central coast of California, Leila had an early passion for hair. Leila moved to New York City to begin her professional training at the Aveda Institute of NY. After completing Aveda's intensive program she was hired to work as an apprentice at the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Salon in NYC. Recognizing Leila's ability to quickly learn new techniques and styles, she was hired as a stylist where she climbed the ranks as a Top Stylist and helped to educate apprentices. Leila has done work for NY fashion week, in editorials and look books working with up and coming designers such as Thuy, Christine Alcalay and Marc Witmer.
Leila not only specializes in precision hair cutting - strong lines, geometric shapes, modern and classic styles - such as the perfect bob that encapsulates all of the above, she also has a strong eye for long, flowing, effortlessly sexy hair.
