Leah Loksen

Leah Loksen is a freelance hairstylist and wig stylist based out of Brooklyn, NY since 2009. Leah specializes in bridal hair and special event hair as well as a master wig specialist.

Fusing art and hair, Leah formulates the best look for each bride to have a distinct, individualized, cohesive look with her gown and veil of choice. Leah ensures that each bride's unique beauty and features are maximized for her big day. 

With a curated selection of top quality wigs, Leah cuts, styles and customizes each wig so that every individual indeed feels as though they are wearing their own "hair." Leah cuts dry to see exactly how much weight to remove and texture to add. 

On this episode of Boss Maidel , we talk about the importance of delegating and setting boundaries in our business. Leah shares her experiences in trying to be everything to everyone and how that left her feeling depleted and resentful. She has since implemented a whole different system in her business that allows her to be more productive and creative. We also chat about all things hair related: color, texture, what inspires Leah's creations etc.
