Styles By Leah

Leah does a great job on hair. I do however, question her client relations
and business ethics. I purchased Lifebooker loot for $ 50 for a partial foil
and haircut. Understanding what a great deal this was, I prepared to tip
her very well. My appointment was set for noon, however she did not see
me until 12:45 pm! There were issues with downloading my loot certificate
from my phone and when mentioned this to her, she asked me to call and
have her speak to life booker directly. She acted as if she thought I was
trying to cheat her. Then when I went to pay for the sales tax, she charged
me as if I were paying full price ($ 110) for the service (doesn’t seem right).
Her justification? That was the salon policy! To top it off, her receptionist
didn’t have enough change in cash box to break a $ 20 dollar bill for
tip, so I had to go to the bodega downstairs. Meanwhile, this same
receptionist went off on her break. Don’t really understand the point
of promoting services via Lifebooker if you don’t want to give a discount.

I originally purchased a lifebooker voucher for Brazilian blowouts but have continued going to Leah after they ran out. She is top quality! I consistently get amazing blowouts from her which leave my hair super soft and manageable for four months at a time. She knows exactly what she is doing and gives really good advice for after care. I would most definitely recommend. :)

First of all, Leah presents herself as an artistic stylist. Her hair and make up are beautifully done and she has such grace. She takes the present condition of your hair, the shape of your face and your skin tone into account when coloring your hair or offering advice. She is truly a color specialist. She knows what works for everyday and in front of the cameras. Her diverse hair talents make her a one-​stop shop. Very happy to have found her!

I have been going to Leah for over 3 years now and I can tell you: She is the Best! I went to her at a time when I wanted to go all natural and stop perming my hair. Before finding her, I did a lot of research and had consultations with numerous stylists but once I met Leah I know she would be the one to help.
She was very professional and knowledgeable of hair care. Most of all, she introduced me to Brazilian Blowouts. Now, she is the only person who touches my hair, from a keratin/​split end treatment to a simple trim. My hair has improved tremendously and she is always giving me new tips and routines for healthier hair. She will always be my go-​to!

The Brazilian blowout I got from Leah is exactly what I expected. My hair is nice and silky. Frizz is gone. It is true that I had a substantial wait after the appointed time but for me the end result is what counts.

I booked a deal on Lifebooker for Styles by Leah. It was the most unprofessional styling experience I have encountered. Leah didn’t have the color I wanted and then proceeded to dye my hair with Loreal hair dye from a box. There was a sign declaring «$ 45-​$ 60 mandatory gratuity on all coloring and cut services». I only got the Loreal hair dye in a shade I didn’t want and a blow-​dry. When I asked Leah how much tax I owed (Lifebooker loot deals don’t include the tax so you pay after the service) she informed me «it depends on good your tip is». I left her $ 30 which quite frankly, was far more than the service rendered deserved and I was mad at myself afterwards for being unassertive and leaving such an unwarranted tip. She made a huge deal about charging me tax on $ 300 telling me that’s how much my coloring and blow-​dry was ordinarily, without the Lifebooker certificate. She pulled out a calculator and calculated the tax in front of me, quite angrily because she was upset by my tip.
My hair didn’t look any different than before I went to Leah. I wanted a shade of red and I left with the exact same hair color that I went in with. She was unprofessional and rude and I would not recommend this service to anyone. Big bummer.

I have never been spoken to so rudely in my life. I booked a lifebooker hair package and called to make my appointment today. I was advised they dont offer weeknight appointments and have very limited weekend appointments with nothing available for a month. This does not fit my schedule as I work Monday thru friday 9 – 5. I asked Leah what I could do as that doesn’t work for my schedule. She started in with me about having kids and working days just like me. My issue is not her availability, I simply wanted to know her refund policy as it looked like I wouldnt be able to get an appointment with her. She was so incredibly rude, I Just cannot believe she runs a business. I was never in any way rude, I simply asked what could be done. .she told me how would she know and to call lifebooker. No apology. I had to hang up on her while she was still practically yelling about how she has a business to run during business hours. Beware!

Nice job Leah!

I purchased a Lifebooker coupon for Leah and was really excited! When I tried to book an appointment, she responded and said that she was looking for a place for me, then didn’t respond for two weeks! I emailed her again after a week and got no response, then finally called to book an appointment. Otherwise, I would never have heard from her, even though I had already paid for the service. She was curt and rude on the phone, in fact I heard her swear and when I asked what was wrong, she complained about an open window (strange!)
At my appointment, I waited for at least 25 minutes after the start of my appointment before she ever greeted me (by the wrong name). While she shampooed my hair, she got distracted by the phone and other things and left me sitting in the sink with a head of shampoo for more than 10 minutes. While this happened, another stylist came in with a dog that is apparently there all of the time. She reached over my head and I thought she was resuming my shampoo, but she was just getting water for the dog.
Leah did a mediocre job with my hair, but her attitude and the borderline unsanitary conditions made me feel unwelcome. I tried to be friendly and chat with her to pass the time (mine was a 30 minute service that took more than an hour and twenty minutes due to all of her distractions) but Leah made it clear that she did not care whether or not I returned. I tried to address my concerns via her email review system, and she responded without apology, telling me to get another coupon and go somewhere else
I would have considered going back but frankly her attitude and all of her distractions make it clear that this place is not at all worth the $ 250 full price service. I believe that if you are going to look down on customers who make purchases from online services like Lifebooker and treat them like their time is worth less than full-​paying customers, then you have no business offering Lifebooker services.
I’m disappointed in Leah’s lack of professionalism and personality, and frankly, I could have gone anywhere else to have the same service done, and Leah left me wishing I had.

Fantastic! I bought the bayalage highlights deal through Lifebooker. I already had a somewhat faded ombré and was looking for some drama and Leah knew exactly what I was looking for. This is one of the best coloring I’ve ever had. And it helped that Leah was extremely personable and friendly. Well worth the deal and I will be coming back to her for any hair appts!

Highly recommended. Leah knew her business, was very knowledgeable about the brazilian blowout, very friendly and personable and left me very happy with my hair.
