WELCOME TO THE LIGHT ELEGANCE FAMILY
We’re all about family and chemistry here. It was just about 20 years ago that these values combined to form the bond we share today—with one another, and our customers.
Lezlie was running her own luxury salon, while Jim was working with polyurethane systems in wood products and transportation. Beyond their affinity for each other, they shared a passion for formulating safer, better-performing products. They established LE and haven’t looked back since. The tradition of innovation continues with the next generation, Lexy and Joseph.
LE WAS BORN FROM CHEMISTRY, QUALITY AND COMMUNITY
These core pillars translate to cutting-edge products that allow you to express your creativity and wow your clients. Our success is tied to yours, and collaboration is what makes the LE family so strong.
Years of research and development inspired our vast selection of hypoallergenic, easy-to-apply gels and acrylics for all skin tones, nail types and styles—from natural nails to elaborate extensions. We’re meticulous about quality control, so you can be confident our products will look, feel and perform beautifully every time.
We can’t wait for you to experience all we have to offer, and we’re even more excited to discover new ways to delight your clients together. That’s the thing about chemistry—you never know where an idea might lead…and the possibilities begin with you.
