“Lesley D. Flanagan has been a true blessing to my business. She helped me fix major issues on my website and provided coaching that brought clarity and direction I didn’t even know I needed. Her knowledge is beyond her years, and her guidance has had a huge impact on my growth. I’m incredibly grateful for her support!”

“Lesley has completely transformed how I see myself, my business, and my value. I’ve gained the confidence to charge prices I thought were out of reach and clients that happily pay because they see my worth, and it feels amazing!” -40 years behind the chair, stylist

"Over the past two years, I have participated in two large-scale hair business-building groups. In addition, I constantly purchased hair guide PDFs from stylists I found on Instagram. While these resources were helpful to some extent, I needed one-on-one accountability.

I jumped at the opportunity when I saw that Lesley was starting her coaching program. I had watched her rapidly build her business and wanted to achieve the same results.

I’m already seeing the payoff and have received multiple extension inquiries! This truly gave me the push I needed.

It was truly the best investment I’ve made in my business. I will sign up with her again within the next six months to continue working toward achieving my goals.

THANK YOU LESLEY!!!"
