MEET THE EDUCATOR
Leandra Roche
Cosmetology Instructor
With a passion for hair that ignited in my teens, I've dedicated the past 30 years to the art of cosmetology. I've honed my skills not only as a stylist but also as a salon
owner and mentor for 22 years. Now, I bring that wealth of experience to the classroom, where I've thrived as a cosmetology instructor for the past 7 years.
My areas of expertise lie in color and working with natural curly hair. I'm particularly passionate about empowering stylists to achieve stunning results for all hair types. In addition to my initial training at the Gary Career Center, I further developed my skills through advanced color courses at Paul Mitchell.
In my classroom, I believe in fostering a hands-on learning environment. My teaching philosophy revolves around the concept of "Beautiful, Healthy Hair is a Feeling." This approach empowers students to develop their confidence and technical abilities. Witnessing my students succeed in this industry is what
truly motivates me.
