Shear Images

All moved out! Thanks for almost 20 years in this location!

Well, Tomorrow is my last day working in the salon. I have to say..I will horribly miss so many of you! I have had so much kindness and love from my friend-customers for almost 25 years!

When I was a little girl …. I was inspired after a salon visit watching my Aunts get their hair done. I went home and was mesmerized by my parents hair tools in the bathroom drawer. How did my parents have so many scissors?? I experimented first on myself, then siblings, dog and friends. I had a skill.

After high school, I went to ICC. Everyone told me I couldn’t support myself doing hair. One semester down taking anatomy and psychology and tons and tons of notes… I heard a commercial on the Radio! I drove to Oehrline School of Cosmetology. I was just realizing I was not going to be able to afford to be a dermatologist! I signed up that day. The rest is history.

I have been very blessed in Morton. Lori Parkin at A New You was my first place. She swept me under her wing and I learned a lot at her salon. Then later I left realizing booth rent could help me support myself since I was in a very bad marriage and getting divorced.

I worked at Studio 117 and made so many friends. Then, hoping to start my own place it finally happened! I opened Shear Images not having a clue at all! My business flourished. I even had a 12 year period where I couldn’t even take new clients.

Everyone was so happy for Josh and I when we married. We have Kenton and I am excited to not miss everything he will be doing. His whole life I have averaged 50+hour weeks. My legs are thankful to be done. I remember thinking the ladies scolding me for wearing high heels were crazy. I guess that’s youth. I wouldn’t make it 30 min in heels today! 😬

I hope you all find your next amazing stylist! They are out there!

Feel free to share pictures if you have them 😀

Let me know! Leslie 😀

I am out of the salon until March 7th! I won’t be able to return any calls until the 6th!

Thanks, Leslie 🌴😎🐬
