Meet Leilah
Hi, I’m Leilah, a 3rd year apprentice at Ellis Perry Hair Boutique, and I’m hoping to qualify as a fully qualified stylist this Christmas.
Hairdressing is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m loving every part of learning and developing my skills. I’ve really been enjoying building my speed and confidence with balayage and foil work, as well as creating fun colours and keeping up with the latest trending styles.
During my apprenticeship, I’ve completed Redken courses at the Redken Academy in Sydney, and we’re constantly learning through in-salon training to stay up to date with new colour techniques, products and trends.
I feel very lucky to be part of the Ellis Perry team. We have such an amazing team around us, and I love being able to learn and grow in a salon where education and beautiful, healthy hair are such a big focus.
Outside of the salon, I spend lots of my time with my horse, who is definitely my soulmate! I also love going to Pilates and keeping active.
