At Jask Salon + Day Spa, we love celebrating the talented people who make our clients feel their absolute best. This month, we’re excited to spotlight Leslie (Les) Cardillo, a master of both hairstyling and photography, whose career spans over three decades and several continents.
A World of Training and Experience
Les’s hairstyling journey began at the Peterborough Technical College in England in 1980, and his passion for the craft has only grown since. With training from some of the world’s most renowned names in the industry—Vidal Sassoon, Tony & Guy, David Marshall, San Rizz, Wella, L’Oréal, Martin Parsons, I.C.O.N, Eufora, and Davines—Les brings unmatched depth of knowledge and skill to every appointment. His career has taken him across the globe, working in the UK, Switzerland, Kenya, and Canada, where he has honed a truly international perspective on style and technique.
Expertise in Cutting, Colouring, and Specialty Styles
A Senior Stylist at Jask, Les excels in precision cutting and colouring, tailoring every service to enhance his clients’ natural beauty and personal style. Whether it’s a modern haircut, a dimensional color, or a show-stopping transformation, Les has the technical mastery and artistic eye to deliver stunning results.
Les is also highly skilled in specialty styling, updos, and hair extensions, making him a go-to stylist for clients preparing for weddings, special events, or those simply seeking a polished new look. His advanced training includes Anna Pacitto & Daniel Benoit’s Goldess Cutting Course, Naomi Knights’ Goldess Color Course, and the Barbering Course by Luke Duffy of The Irish Barber.
The Art of Photostyle
Les’s creativity doesn’t stop at hairstyling—he is also Jask’s in-house photographer and the visionary behind Photostyle, a unique concept that perfectly pairs photography with a salon experience. This innovative service allows clients to walk away not only looking their best, but also with professional photographs to capture the moment.
Beyond the Salon
When he’s not behind the chair or the camera, Les enjoys an active and well-rounded life. He loves playing squash, cooking, and reading—though he admits it’s a challenge to sit still long enough to enjoy a good book!
