Leslie Shores graduated from Maxine’s two-year color training program and has worked in salons in some capacity for about 10 years. Through her experience Leslie has developed core beliefs about the proper choice of hair color. “Color is like makeup for your hair,” she says. “Your color should make the lines in your face softer, not increase them. A color that’s too dark can make you lose your glow; too light and skin and eyes appear washed out.” Besides training at Maxine, Leslie has studied at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica, CA.  and has trained with celebrity colorist Nancy Braun for Balayage. She organized, styled and colored the hair for “Les Rues” a French-themed hair and fashion show that raised money for About Face Youth Theatre. Leslie is also a Fashion Stylist for Mint Male Magazine. Her favorite activities outside the salon include creating hair accessories and jewelry, cooking and collecting recipes, working out and playing golf, reading fashion magazines and fashion blogs, and vintage shopping.
