About Leslie Bailey
Twenty-four years behind the chair, a certified Pravana Color Pro, and an extension specialist certified in both DreamCatchers and Aqua Hair Extensions — Leslie built Loxx Hair Design around a simple idea: your stylist should actually know your hair.
Why Leslie is a top-rated colorist in greater Nashville
Leslie Bailey has spent 24 years behind the chair as an expert color specialist, building a specialty in the two services most likely to go wrong in inexperienced hands: hand-painted hair lightening and hand-tied hair extensions. Rather than working the floor of a large commission salon, she owns and operates a private suite at Loxx Hair Design inside Image Studios, Cool Springs — a model that lets every appointment run at her pace, with her full attention, rather than split across multiple clients at once.
Credentials & specialties
| Credential | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| 24 years behind the chair | Two decades-plus of hands-on color, cutting, and extension work across a range of hair types and histories. |
| Pravana Color Pro certified | Advanced training in Pravana's professional color line, used for precise, level-matched formulation on corrective and hair lightening work. |
| DreamCatchers certified | Certified in the DreamCatchers hand-tied extension method — a specific beaded-row technique with its own training and application standards. |
| Aqua Hair Extensions certified | Certified in the Aqua Hair Extensions method, giving Leslie a second extension technique to fit different hair types, densities, and goals. |
| Owner-operator of a private suite | Leslie built and stocks her own suite inside Image Studios, Cool Springs — every appointment is with her, one-on-one. |
Treatments & professional product lines
Beyond hair lightening and extensions, Leslie cuts and styles for men, women, and children, and offers keratin smoothing treatments, Brazilian Blowout, and Olaplex Bond Building treatments to repair and strengthen hair during and after color services. She colors with Pravana, Redken Shades EQ, and Schwarzkopf, and sells professional haircare from Pureology, Kenra, and Redken to maintain color and extensions between visits.
Two decades of correcting other stylists’ color and extension work teaches you to slow down, ask more questions, and never guess at a formula.
What clients can expect
- A consultation-first approach. Every color and extension service starts with an assessment of your hair’s actual history and health, not a generic package.
- One stylist, start to finish. Leslie personally handles every appointment in her suite — no hand-offs to assistants for color application.
- A private, unhurried suite. No adjacent chairs, no salon-floor noise — just your appointment, on your schedule.
- Honest timelines. Complex color correction or extension work is planned in realistic stages rather than promised in a single visit.
Clients across Brentwood, Cool Springs, Franklin, and greater Nashville book with Leslie specifically for hair lightening and hand-tied extension work — the two services she’s built her 24-year career around.
