Shine was established in the third dimension in the midst of the global pandemic. Founding hairstylist Lizzie Leigh and her life and design partner James Bolenbaugh saw an opportunity and went for it. James, a production designer in the tv and film industry, brought Shine to life from concept to build. Together, Lizzie and James have created a super cool tiny salon on the edge of Eagle Rock and Glassell Park neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

Master Stylist
Lizzie
Lizzie's first love was photography. She received a BFA in photography from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. After working in many avenues within the industry and left feeling disillusioned and unsatisfied, she was let go from a soul crushing job in the economic collapse of 2008. Like many things in life, what felt bad in the moment turned out to be a blessing. Life threw a curveball, and a quick pivot lead Lizzie to learn the craft of haircutting and coloring. After graduating from the Aveda Academy Soho, NYC in 2009, Lizzie went on to apprentice under a diversely trained team at Whistle Salon in the East Village, NYC. Dedicating herself to the craft, she quickly advanced from assistant, to junior stylist, then senior stylist. After styling at Whistle for 7 years, and living in NYC for nearly 16, she decided to check out life on the west coast with her partner, James. They have been in Silver Lake, LA since January of 2017.

"I offer cut and color services on all textures. I like to take my time with the consultation and really suss out what it is you are looking for, what will work with your lifestyle and your commitment to maintenance. There are many reasons a person may come for a service, this can be an important piece of the puzzle. What are you hoping for? How do you want to feel? Do you just need a little maintenance or do you want to feel like a different person? I love doing natural highlights, and I also love doing wild, expressive color. I love doing feminine short hair, and masculine long hair. The truth is, I love having a variety of services on my book and making people feel good.
In my free time I read tarot, meditate, do processing and shadow work, go camping, drink celery juice, and read about hypnosis, past life regressions and other-dimensional experiences."

Peanut
Peanut is a four year old Chihuahua Dachshund mix rescue who came into our lives in December of 2020. We don't know much about her former life, but we are really happy she is in our current life! Peanut loves to cuddle in your lap, at least until the blow dry starts! She is a very calm and sweet little friend and makes the Shine experience even better.
