Experience a transformative beauty experience where hair color creativity meets artistic expertise.
I am committed to delivering the finest hair color enhancements that will take your beauty to the next level. I’m an artist and your hair is my canvas! I focus on hair coloring and I am very passionate about it. I love doing creative color, such as rainbow color metls, as well as beautiful blonds! I also work a lot with dark asian hair.
Before becoming a hair colorist, I studied arts at Dawson. After graduating, I decided to dive into hairdressing as I was very intrigued by hair coloring. What intrigued me even more, was the balayage technique. I watched a couple of videos about it and immediately fell in love with it. It really reminded me of my painting classes which I also loved! I graduated from beauty school in 2015 and after working in salons for 3 years, I was ready to work on my own. I have now been a self employed hair colorist for 5 years. I kept practicing, attended workshops, such as Guy Tang’s and continued to better myself. I also offered education services at Spa Minévia. While I still offer hair cutting and styling services, my passion lies with hair coloring so that I can continue to master my signature service: the balayage.
Balayage is the technique of free-hand painting highlights onto the hair, creating a soft and natural gradation of lightness towards the ends. The result is the look of summers spent at the beach, or the fresh, unintentionally perfect highlights on a child.
Foilyage technique is similar to the balayage, but done with foils to incubate the hair which helps the bleach process better. This technique is used to achieve a more dramatic look than the classic balayage.
Highlights are done by foiling some hair and leaving some out in between. Compared to a foilyage, there is a lot more dimension.
I chose Leila for my first ever balayage and she made my long awaited hair dream come true! And she is well versed in asian hair which is always causes more headache to other hairdressers .

She is very experienced and really listens to what you really want. She is a perfectionist and loves what she does. She is absolutely brilliant with colouring so if you want to add colour in your hair! She’s your girl! She is flexible and very reasonable with pricing.

She's truly attentive to your request and also offers expert advice/recommendations to help find the best color fit for you. This is especially helpful if you're not completely sure on what color you'd like to dye it, like myself. This is my second year going back because her knowledge on colors is exceptional and she's up to date with current hair dyeing techniques/styles. My experience both times have been amazing, wouldn't go anywhere else.
