Leslie Embry
Leslie Embry opened her first blowout bar in Nashville TN in 2012. Leslie’s goal for the Blowout Co is to make women feel beautiful and confident. She has since opened three more locations in Tennessee. To achieve her goal, she knows that she has to give her stylists the best tools available. In 2013, she was introduced to Karen Percy by her Director of Operations. She instantly fell in love with Karen’s invention, the KangaBelt. She saw the potential for her stylists to work more efficiently and with less wear and tear on their backs and she knew she had to order them. All 65 of her stylists have been wearing the KangaBelt in her salons since.
When Karen approached her in 2018, asking if she would like to partner with her in her company, it was an easy decision. Leslie wants all stylists to reap the benefit of wearing their station around their waist and can’t wait to introduce the industry to the rest of their product line. Together, they hope to make KangaCo a leader of innovation in the salon industry.
