Our journey began when the salon was first opened by our founder Denise. After starting as an apprentice in the mid 1960’s she followed in her own Mothers footsteps and branched out opening her first premises in 1985 . The focus of the business has always been client care and to provide the best possible experience for all by providing excellent, skilled services and the best products available to the industry. High quality service and customer satisfaction in a friendly inclusive environment is our primary ethos.
Denise first made the move towards a more eco-conscious way of working in 2005 when she introduced her first exclusive line of organic products to the salon. When her daughter Stephanie took over in 2012 she discovered Oway Organics and we are now very proud affiliates of the brand. Using Oway has helped us to work towards a more sustainable future by combining our long history and success in the industry with a product company whose Green Chemistry organic credentials are second to none.
Stephanie is the Owner Director of Denise Lesley. She has 30 years of experience in the industry as a third-generation hairdresser. In 2012, she took over the family business from her mother, Denise, and works hard to maintain the reputation of the salon that has been established since 1985. Her holistic approach to her hairdressing and technical knowledge are her assets.
Chloe is the Senior Hair Designer and Hairdressing Manageress at Denise Lesley. She has over 15 years of experience in the industry and has acquired a vast knowledge in her trade. The salon is proud to have her working alongside us as such a loyal and dedicated partner.
