What Clients Are Saying About Lesley
Leslie is the best stylist I've found since moving to the Cary area. She gave me a precision bob that was absolutely flawless, the lines were so clean and the shape was exactly what I had in mind. The consultation was thorough and she really listened. I've already booked my next appointment. Artisan Hair is a hidden gem.
I drove from Morrisville to see Leslie for a balayage after seeing her work on a friend, and I'm so glad I did. The color is gorgeous, soft, natural, and exactly the look I was hoping for. She made the whole experience so comfortable and fun. Highly recommend Leslie to anyone in the Triangle looking for beautiful balayage.
After years of bad color at chain salons in the Raleigh area, I was nervous to try someone new. Leslie completely changed my perspective. She did a full foil that gave me the most beautiful, dimensional blonde I've ever had. The attention to detail and the care she takes with every foil is remarkable. I won't go anywhere else.
I've been seeing Lesley at Artisan Hair for my root color, and she always gets it perfect. The coverage is seamless and the color she mixes matches my natural shade flawlessly. Plus, she's one of the kindest, most genuine people you'll meet. The drive from Garner is well worth it for this kind of quality.
Leslie at Artisan Hair gave me the confidence to go shorter than I've ever gone with my hair. She walked me through the process, showed me reference photos, and the result was a textured, modern cut that I absolutely love. Her skill with shaping is on another level. Best salon experience I've had in the Apex area, or anywhere.
