Leila’s love for travel and world cultures has profoundly shaped her journey as a hair stylist and creative. Born in Guatemala and raised in New Jersey, Leila honed her craft at the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Academy in London, where she built a solid foundation in precision cutting—now the cornerstone of her successful career.

After spending a decade perfecting her skills in Chicago (working with Vidal Sassoon and Aveda), Leila now resides in Los Angeles, where she continues to make her mark in the industry.

Leila’s motto is simple: wash-and-wear hair. She believes in creating cuts that are easy and effortless for her clients. As she explains, “The haircut should do the work, not the client. Precision cutting makes this possible.”

With 20 years of experience, Leila is a firm believer in lifelong learning. She attends multiple classes each year to stay ahead of trends and master new techniques, crediting continued education with keeping her work fresh and exciting. While she excels in timeless, classic cuts, she also thrives on crafting creative, edgy looks. Whether it’s a sleek bob or a bold mullet, Leila’s goal is to bring her client’s personal essence to life with every cut.
