Our Team
Leslie Kogut
Owning Leslie K LLC is an accomplishment that I am very proud of. I graduated from H.C. Wilcox Tech in 1984 in the Hairdressing and Cosmetology field and have loved my trade every day!
I feel so blessed to have a job that I truly love and to get to meet so many inspiring people. I enjoy being behind the chair doing Blowouts, Hair Color, Updo Styling, and Haircuts. The creativity of it all feels natural to me!
Claudia Licursi
My career has been a wonderful part of my life. Give me a challenge, and I will conquer it with a beautiful outcome! I love to cut and perm, but hair color is what I do best. I am skilled with fine hair and will make your style unique to you.
Abby Chichester
Born and raised in Meriden, I graduated from Academy Di Capelli in 2020 and immediately fell in love with being a Hairstylist and Makeup Artist! I love coloring and highlighting, especially for long, blonde hair.
I am a blonde specialist and love creating fun, new styles to fit each of my customers. Makeup is another specialty of mine. I enjoy doing complete looks for proms, weddings, and special occasions!
I’d love to help make your day go as smoothly as possible. I have been with Leslie K since 2020, and I love coming to work every day. I cannot wait to welcome you as a new customer and friend!
Lorrie Goering
Originally from the Meriden area, I now live in Thomaston, raising my two children. I still come to Meriden to see my customers three times a week because I love my clients and my career.
I have a passion for hair, especially pop colors and beautiful highlights! I like to change hairstyles and colors to keep my clients looking fresh. I also enjoy doing formal makeup to complete my formal updos. Let’s update your style and make you POP!
Mary Gewily
I have been painting beautiful nails for over 30 years. I love the atmosphere of our nail room—quiet and relaxing.
I am one of the few nail techs in our salon so that you won’t feel crowded or overwhelmed during your appointment with me.
Come in and relax! Manicures or pedicures, I will treat you like family.
Jeanne Ingham
I have owned and managed hair salons in the Meriden area for over 40 years. I love my career and the opportunity to create with my clients. Living in Meriden, I get to really know who my clients are and what they need. I believe hairdressing is one of the most rewarding careers out there.
I love to shop, and you might see me out and about! I’d love to help you update your style, but come to the salon so we can complete your total look.

I really enjoy doing color services such as balayage and highlighting. I can’t wait to meet all my new customers here at Leslie K!
Amanda Gagne
Growing up in Meriden, I wanted to go to Wilcox so I could pursue my dream of Cosmetology. I have been doing hair since 2019, and I recently and unexpectedly moved to Leslie K Salon. I’m so happy I did.
I strive to provide a comfortable and safe space for my clients to express themselves. Some of my favorites include fashion colors, men’s haircuts, blonding, and extensions.
In my free time, I love to travel and spend time with my dog. I can’t wait to hear your story!

Barbara McKenney
I have lived in Meriden all my life raising three boys and nannying seven grandchildren. Over the years, I have worked at Meriden Markham Airport as an office manager and at old Meriden Hospital in the radiology dept. I am very happy to be working here at Leslie K as a front end administrator for this new chapter in my life!
