Leo Leong
Leo has taken up many roles in the industry. The former artistic director of ICD Intercoiffure Singapore has spent 35years of his career inspiring locally and internationally. Gaining his hair education in London, Leo returned to Singapore and got his first experience of educating with Wella and Indola, which got him traveling around the globe. His interest towards educating grew stronger and this led him to start his own academy, Headquarters Hairstyling School in 1983. Leo was then invited to London as the first Asian hairstylist to appear in an instructional hair video for CVS and style in a photoshoot for Elite hair magazine. Hair shows and seminars followed in unison as many seek his consultations and skills. He currently owns a hair supply shop.
