Leslie Shores is a color and balayage specialist known for her gentle, health-focused approach to hair color. With nearly twenty years of experience, she has built a reputation for creating natural, sun-kissed results that enhance a client’s features while maintaining the integrity of the hair.
Her work is rooted in the belief that healthy hair is the foundation of beautiful color. Specializing in balayage and lived-in blonding, Leslie customizes every service based on skin tone, eye color, lifestyle, and long-term maintenance goals — allowing her clients’ color to grow out softly and organically.
Leslie has completed extensive advanced education, including training with L’Oréal Academies in New York, Los Angeles, and Rome, as well as the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica. She has studied under respected industry educators and continues to refine her craft through ongoing education.
Inspired by effortless “French-girl” hair and naturally lightened textures, Leslie views balayage as a timeless technique rather than a trend. Her clients appreciate her thoughtful process, artistic eye, and commitment to creating hair that feels natural, wearable, and uniquely theirs.
