“Since getting my hair done at Leading Edge salon my hair has been the healthiest and most beautiful blonde I've ever had in comparison to every salon I've previously been to. Alexa is my stylist. I love her calm and cool energy, always putting me first.”
“I walked in after a double mastectomy as I was unable to do my own hair. Alexa was absolutely amazing and understanding of my situation. She made me feel so comfortable and most importantly beautiful, which has been hard for me to feel lately. I left feeling confident again!”
“Michele did the cut better than anyone did in my 60 years of going to stylists. My thin straight hair has always been a problem for me, till now. Thanks so much Michele. Very pleasant atmosphere at Leading Edge.”
“Jensen is a fairly new stylist at Leading Edge and I'll never choose anyone else now. I went in with hay-like dry hair and came out with soft amazing hair.”
