The Glossary Salon Overland Park

Welcome! Owner Leah Leeds is a licensed hair professional that will care for all your beauty needs. Leah is always researching the latest on beauty trends and products. Continuous training of new products, styles, haircuts, and color brings passion and fun into her studio.

Leah is in love with how life has turned out so far! At the age of 20 she decided the typical college route was not for her. However, being a smart girl she knew she could not succeed in life without a college degree, so she went for the next best (the best!) thing--a trade. Enter cosmetology school. Leah Leeds quickly learned that having a trade makes you indispensable in the American economy. Not only does Leah have the ultimate job security but she gets to enjoy her days talking with and making men and women feel like a million bucks.

In 2007, three years into her beauty career, Leah decided to attend and finish traditional college. In December 2012 she graduated from University Missouri Kansas City (UMKC) with a Business Management emphasis in Entrepreneurship. The last two years of her business degree were spent starting businesses from scratch and writing extensive businesses plans. She learned the art of brainstorming ideas, positive pivoting, and working in teams. Truly invaluable.

In retrospect, she says the experience of attending college at the same time as owning her small business has opened her eyes to the vast possibilities the billion dollars beauty business has to offer. Ultimately... the universe has worked well in her favor.

"Cheers to you, Cheers to the next stages"-Leah Leeds
