GROUNDWORK
Years ago Salon 1150 founder Leah Webb gave in to her life's passion and went back to school to earn a Cosmetology degree from The Toni & Guy Institute. Upon graduation, she trained for 2 years at the renown Richard Hayler Colour Salon in Highland Park, Dallas, TX. She also worked in editorial, commercial, and television. Her work has appeared in the pages of Austin Monthly, Elle Magazine, Glamour, La Grazia, Men's Health, Men's Journal, More, O magazine, People, Reader's Digest, Real Simple, Rolling Stone, Texas Monthly, Wall Street Journal, and Wired.
2009
In 2009 Leah decided to expand her business. "My focus was to create a salon where customers would want to return again and again –– not out of convenience, but out of desire". In 2010 she opened the doors to Spruce Salon, Inc. located in the Lakeway area. Leah built the salon, starting from a concrete slab, into a successful and thriving business. Leah had one simple credo for her employees to follow; Strive to deliver top-notch service with quality products and make customer satisfaction the main focus.
And for the following 9 years this credo and the salon itself became one and the same. Entrepreneurial skills, top professional talent, and her unending passion for what she does were instantly recognized by ELLE Magazine who voted Spruce Salon, Inc. among "The Top 100 Best Salons in America."
"Then as luck would have it, a perfect opportunity arose and I decided it was time to move on. And in the fall of 2018, I sold my business with the knowledge that I would start the next chapter of my professional life".

"I consider myself lucky to be able to do what I love and to have my passion shine through and be reflected in my work". And this enthusiasm translates easily to the promise Leah makes to all of her guests –– to always be at her best and to do her best work every day.
