I was very nervous about trying a new stylist,however Leslie was sweet from the moment i walked in until the moment I left. I got a haircut and I absolutely love it! She knew exactly what to do with my kinky curly hair and I love to wear my hair out so much more because of her. I can't wait to go back again!

The moment I found out about Leslie, I couldn’t stop coming back. Aside from her outstanding professionalism, she does a phenomenal job at recreating whichever hairstyle you show her. Her techniques for cutting are unlike any other I’ve come across. She’s truly a master of her craft and she is well worth every penny! Trust me, you will not regret booking her! Trust me, you will come out of there looking and feeling like a brand new person. Personally speaking, I’ve been to the Deva salon and they don’t even come close to the end result I’ve seen with Leslie! :)

Leslie is an amazing stylist and an outstanding people person. She takes the time to understand your hair, asking for pictures and style examples before your visit. Her technique is flawless, and her service professional, warm, and friendly. She gave me an amazing haircut and helped tone a very brassy/orange highlight job I had gotten a few months ago. I'm happy to have finally found a stylist I can trust, and a partner to help me tame these curls.

A friend of mine recommended Leslie Ellen to me a few years back and I will never go to anyone else ever again. When I first went to her my hair was fried from over doing the Keratin treatment and excessive blow drying. It was straight on top, curly underneath, brassy and short -- basically a total mess. After years of trying every high end salon in NYC and leaving with the same results, I was convinced that I just had bad hair and dreaded going to the hair salon. Leslie Ellen has changed all that. At my first appointment with her she took the time to really listen to what I wanted and what I didn't like about my hair. She was honest and told me that it might take a couple of haircuts to get me there because of all the damage but she was confident we could get there. And she did it. I love every haircut she's ever given me, I love the color and my highlights -- she is an expert colorist -- and she even helped me break my addiction to the keratin treatment! Thank you Leslie Ellen!

I went to Leslie Ellen after trying to work with several other hairstylists to fix a curly hair problem. She took the time with me to talk about what was wrong and right about my current cut and came up with an amazingly easy fix and great results. Leslie Ellen is the woman.

Leslie is the only person I let cut my hair. I have blond curls & I have had negative experiences at numerous places that claim they know how to cut curly hair. I come to the salon on 5th and 19th from Riverdale- she is THAT GOOD!!!!

2nd cut with Leslie and she really understand what she needs to do with my hair. I loved my first cut and my 2nd as well. I am going back to my natural curly hair and I am happy I found her for this process. She is comfortable with alot of different textured hair and that is always a plus. She given pointers on what works with my hair, explains what she is doing and how the process with go. I dont see alot of reviews for her which is a same...she really knows how to work with curly hair.

Leslie really understood my curls and helped restore them to its natural form. I had a wonderful experience and will be going back for a very long time.

Leslie is AMAZING! Not only is she extremely talented with hair but she also loves what she does. From the second I walked in I knew I can trust Leslie with my curls. I highly recommend Leslie for all your hair needs.

I've been to see Leslie twice for a haircut so far and will be going back this Friday for my third appointment. I've had a "curly girl" cut before through a DevaCurl salon, but Leslie definitely takes the cake when it comes to experience and overall outcome. My experiences with her have been exciting and unconventional, and my hair turns out AMAZING!!!! I'm biracial and my hair can be a PAIN, but Leslie knows exactly what to do! You can expect her to have you turn your head every which way, and you'll see her cut here and there, and you don't expect it to come together the way it does, but trust me, it's amazing! She really works hard to make sure you get what you want and she's super personable! The best part about Leslie is you can really tell she loves what she does and she wants you to look your best! She will not let you leave dissatisfied! Definitely go see her!

The only person i let touch my curls!

I love LE! I have gone to so many different curly hair salons and always come out with the same boring haircut. Whenever I would show them pics of other curly styles, they never could make it happen. My first visit with LE I showed her my inspiration pic and she was like "no problem". I left looking great after soo long! Every time I see her she does an amazing job, and when something bugs me about a part or how some hair is laying, she has no problems fixing it. She does wonderful things with my curls.

All staff are professional and amazing knowledge about hairstyle.Highly appreciated.

Carmen Barnes

I've been wanting to get a perm for the summer, and was really happy to find Atelier by Tiffany. Their staff was exceptional and made sure everything was perfect! Nicole who permed my hair made sure that my hair doesn't get damaged too much when perming my hair. I also love the ambiance and interior of the place.

Leslie is a pro with curls! I always had a hard time trusting stylists with my curls, as my curls are a bit unpredictable, but Leslie knew exactly what to do to make my hair look fantastic. She listens to to your needs and transforms your hair to make you look your very best. She has a very welcoming personality and makes you feel at ease. If you have curly hair, definitely go see Leslie!

The best haircut I have gotten in years. I have gone to every top curly hair salon in the city and Leslie was the only one who really new how to cut my hair. She is great!!

Andrea Policastro

I've been coming to Leslie for over 5 years now, that's how happy I am with how she colors and styles my hair! She's a pro who works with what is healthiest for your hair, to give you the look you want to achieve. Thumbs up!

Leslie knows curls and how to bring their bounce back! I've always had great cuts with her and understand why she has a loyal following. Worth the $$s.

Today I went to Leslie because I needed ALOT of help with my curls in which not many people have and who else better to cut curly hair then someone with beautiful curls which she has. I came in with matted hair so I gave Leslie and her assistant some work to do. I still feel bad. She has a warm and down to earth personality in which she talks to you to get to know you which i admire. She was at awe with my curls after the needed detangling session. She's very knowledgeable and always willing to make your healthy curls last with tips. She layered my hair to give it some shape and to fit my narrow face. She also taught me how to rake and shake, after dry shake, second day hair tip and even told me that i had to use a heavier product on a small section since it was a different curl pattern. After all was done, she asked me how I liked my cut. If I remember I calmly said I liked it. She wasn't sold on it because she didn't see much of a reaction and couldn't gauge. Sincerely, I had reassured her. I've been neglecting my curls, now that I have a guideline on how to care for them correctly I will do right by them. I'm very grateful. I already booked my 3 month trim. She does well not only with curly, but straight hair also. Trust me, girl knows her stuff!

My curls look amazing! I keep getting compliments on my curls. My hair was brittle, dry, and falling out... Leslie said, "let's get your healthy," and after just one my curls look great... I have gone to other "curly" hair salons in NYC and I was not happy. I am happy now!! Thank you Leslie... Thank you for taking your time with me and being "present" during our time together. Sylvia

Miracle worker! Leslie's haircut completely revolutionized my curls. My hair was extremely damaged and I could not wear my hair naturally curly. After Leslie's haircut, however, I do not use any hot tools- just wash and go. I couldn't be happier with the shape or texture of my hair after my haircut. Haven't met a more competent stylist of my curly hair. I could not recommend her more strongly!
