Aleisha Green, professionally known as Laced By Leisha, is the epitome of passion meeting perseverance. Born and raised in the quaint town of Eutawville, South Carolina, Aleisha always had a clear vision of her future.

Fast forward to age 19, Aleisha turned that dream into action, opening her very first hair salon in her hometown. A remarkable achievement for anyone, let alone someone so young.

Her products can now be found in select hair stores, adding commercial success to her growing list of achievements.
However, life wasn't always a seamless braid. Amid personal setbacks, including the challenges of a divorce, Aleisha faced tough decisions. After seven successful years of running her salon, she made the difficult choice to close its doors. With her unshakable faith in God, she moved to Atlanta for a fresh start at age 27. This new chapter in her life didn't mean the end of her hairstyling career—it meant transformation.
