With 48 years behind the chair, Leslie Rogers is a true legend in the industry. She launched her career in Charlotte, NC, going into business for herself shortly after graduation before making her way to Winston-Salem — where she joined the HairPlus/Sheer Pleasure salon chain and earned the title of #1 stylist out of 64 locations. That kind of track record doesn’t happen by accident. Leslie’s favorite brands include Guy Tang and Wella for color, and she swears by Kenra for styling. But what has kept her in this industry for nearly five decades isn’t just the craft — it’s the people. The relationships she has built over the years and the way doing hair has kept her completely in tune with style, color, and the world around her are what she treasures most.

These days Leslie sees a select few clients, and those who get a seat in her chair are lucky to have her. Outside the salon, she and her husband Robert have five grown children between them and 13 grandchildren keeping life full and wonderful.
