About Leslie Espinosa

Leslie is a New York based hairstylist, wig designer & makeup artist. She is a member of IATSE Local 798 Makeup Artist, Hairstylist Union & a New York State Licensed Cosmetologist.

 

With a background in dance & theater, she earned a degree in Theatrical Design and Technology from San Diego State University in California, & started her career freelancing in San Diego and Los Angeles. In 2009, she moved to New York City to further her career & follow her dreams. ​Leslie has been doing hair for over 25 years now in theatre, opera, television, film, theme parks, weddings, all the while, taking care of clients in the salon. Her skill set includes hairstyling, cutting, coloring, wigs & makeup.

 

Her most recent production on Broadway was The Who’s Tommy as the Assistant Hair Supervisor. The year prior, she was the Hair Supervisor for Here Lies Love. Around her performance schedule, she maintains clientele and the education programs at Kennaland Brooklyn & at Arte Salon in Soho.

 

Leslie has worked internationally as a Hair & Makeup Designer for a production of Sweeney Todd which was staged in Manila & toured to Singapore. Shortly after the tour, she was awarded Best Hair & Makeup Design 2019 for Beautiful: The Carole King Musical by Broadway World Philippines, which was staged in June and July of 2019 in Manila.

 

As a creative with many interests, one of her favorite things to do is work on collaborations. In 2018, she was one of Pineapple Lab's Artists in Residence in the Philippines. She was doing studies of beauty, self realisation & empowerment with her favorite medium, hair! This led to more connections through Fringe Festival Manila designing & creating characters for performers.

Leslie did my first hair chop during my CGM journey. It was an unforgettable experience. It was my first haircut & styling that truly gave me self-confidence.
