Hi, I’m Leila.

I wanted someone who knew how to do grey blending in town. I found Leila and my first experience with her was absolutely phenomenal. She understood the assignment and delivered the most beautiful blended colour I’ve ever had. Attention to detail, focused, and hardworking is how she runs her craft and it is so refreshing to feel so well taken care of. She is a gem and exceeded all of my expectations. I am not used to the no-tipping culture at this establishment, but I think it is a really nice feature. Thank you Leila, looking forward to the next visit!

Always great service and style. My husband and I go to Leila. We really appreciate the hourly service and gratuity free model. Admin is always friendly and responsive. Easy to get to location.

As always, Leila did an amazing job with my hair cut and color. She was very attentive and always a joy to be around

—Cassi Coelho

Leila was great! I haven’t been to a salon multiple times in almost 20 years. I’ve now been back to see Leila almost every few months for a year now. She’s wonderful and everyone at Jet Black makes you feel really welcome.

Would highly recommend this salon, a luxurious and clean experience at a very reasonable price AND you can be comfortable knowing your stylist is getting paid a fair wage. I found this salon after finding out the place I've been going for haircuts had closed down around the end of the pandemic, and had some not so great experiences with other salons downtown. I was specifically looking for someone who would have experience with Asian hair, and booked an appointment with Leila. The salon was clean, well lit and modern, I was offered a drink, and didn't have to wait. Leila gave me the best haircut I've ever gotten in Ottawa and was super knowledgeable and friendly, giving me tips with my day to day hair care. I've already returned for a second trim and will continue to come back as long as Leila is around.

Leila is a talented and thoughtful stylist who I trust with all my hair needs! Jet Black is an adorable space in a great location. 10/10

Leila is an amazing stylist! She gave me the exact cut I was describing to her, while personalizing it to suit my face shape! I would recommend seeing Leila for a hair cut if you have really flat, fine hair. She brought so much volume back into my hair without thinning out the length of it. Thank you for the amazing cut!

—Row

My stylist was Leila and she was patient, helped me select the best style and explained every step to me. She is truly an artist and I am returning soon.

Thank you Laila. Love the cut, styling tips were much appreciated.

—Guylene Lepage

My first visit. Very nice receptionist and Leila was great, she listened to my concerns and offered suggestions. Love the cut!

After dragging my feet on getting a haircut following a busy period in my life, I decided to book in with Leila at Jet Black; I was desperate for a haircut and the studio was just down the street from me, so I figured, why not? Well, I was not disappointed as it was truly a five-star experience. I asked Leila for a shaggy style that would work with my natural wave pattern/overall texture and she delivered one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I have been to her twice now and would continue if not for an out-of-province move. Like I said, Leila offers a truly brilliant service in terms of both skill and personality - I cannot recommend her and Jet Black Hair & Studio enough!

Got my hair done by Leila - she was FANTASTIC. Incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled professional. The cut she gave me is STUNNING. She brought my hair back to life!! She asked me great questions to understand what my hair situation was currently. Turns out I have hard water and that was seriously affecting my hair! She took the time to teach me about my hair (like what products would be best for me) and show me styling techniques for my new cut. The personalized experience was remarkable. She’s gained a lifelong client!!

—Andi Sharma

I tried this place out with Leila for the first time and had an amazing experience! She nailed the haircut and style that I was going for and I love the final results - I 100% recommend this salon and Leila as a stylist!

—Tatiana Lapina

Leila gave me a fabulous up-do for an extravagant ball I attended. It was more than I hoped for! Loved it! Thank you

—Alicia Scanlon

Beautiful studio, incredibly friendly staff, and an overall great salon! I was looking for a new hair salon as a newcomer to Ottawa, and I was so lucky to find Jet Black on my first try. Leila is incredibly talented, and gave me the exact hair I’ve been looking for. Will definitely be coming back, and highly recommend both Leila and Jet Black Ottawa :)

—Ava Russell

Leila’s amazing, she was able to removed the box dye from my hair and get me to a lighter and even colour!

—Mikayla Dagenais

The best!!! I’m a new client of Leila’s (two cuts so far!) and I’m thrilled with her attention to detail with my cut and toner. My super fine hair needs that extra level of detail. I now have an amazing short style and I am in love with it! And the best styling tips!!

—Sarah Christie

Leila does MAGICAL haircuts and you leave feeling absolutely incredible. Thank you Leila for your care and attentiveness! ❤️❤️

—Lisa Tran

Had such a lovely experience with Leila. The washing/treatment felt terrific. I changed my mind mid-cut about the style I wanted to go for and Leila was totally down to pivot. Very very happy with my new dew.

—Olive Lazarus

Leila cut my hair and she did a really great job! My experience was awesome, Leila was friendly and thoughtful and gave me an excellent cut for my wavy hair :)

—Molly McGovern

I got one of the best hair colours and style of my life with LEILA today. Not only was the staff at jet black extremely professional and covid conscious but the atmosphere of the salon is super positive. Thanks Leila! See you next time ☺️
