Who is..
Lesia Mescudi Davis
She is a visionary... who is able to see Beauty before it is visible to the naked eye. That vision is a gift that has served her well throughout her decades-long career as a master stylist, cutter, colorist, and educator. It was her vision to open U Salon in Historic Buckhead in the early 2000s. Davis’ regular clientele visited weekly to get pampered, coiffed, and feel a sense of community with like-minded people who were also drawn to U Salon.
Lesia M. Davis is the author of Taking The Beast Out Of Beauty, a collection of hair care secrets available at Amazon, Target, and Barnes & Noble.
How It All Began...
Davis’ life's work began as child's play. Her first clients started in Cleveland, Ohio, and that play turned into a passionate pursuit of excellence in finding the best techniques to grow and maintain healthy, beautiful hair. Early in her career, she was tapped to open salons on the East Coast for Glemby International. Davis later worked at the salon at Saks 5th Avenue, which proved an invaluable experience. Davis also worked at Azar Salon, a last stop, before buying her building and becoming the only black commercial salon owner in Buckhead.
Throughout her career, Davis has cultivated hair and relationships with the goal to improve every woman’s crown and confidence. Lesia's work has been lauded on numerous occasions over the years. Davis has been seen on CBS and ABC talking healthy hair and about entrepreneurship during a pandemic.
As Seen In...
Lesia has also been published in trade magazines, including “Black Hair”, “Atlanta Hair,” "Cleveland Plain Dealer", "Ladies Home Journal," and most recently in "The Atlantan Magazine." Lesia has won several awards for her work and has been named "Best of Atlanta," to name a few.

"There is no one in Atlanta like Lesia. She is a hair genius and known for growing long, healthy hair. She took me from my #bigchop to hair down my back in less than a year! She has created an intimate, loving hair EXPERIENCE that women have been enjoying for years. She has not only been a blessing to my #transtioninghair now #allnaturalhair but a blessing in my life. Love shout out to @Usalonatlanta."

"Lesia & Usalon gave me something that I didn't even realize I needed in a stylist. From the energy in her fingertips to her attention to detail and trends, to her uncanny ability to grow and cultivate the healthiest version of my hair, all of those reasons I am indebted to U. In the 20-plus years, I've known Lesia, whether I want my hair straight, curled, cut thickened up, or natural, she was there, working with me to achieve my hair goals, and for that, I am forever grateful. A visit to U has always been a treat. It's like meeting girlfriends (her regular clients) for coffee every Saturday morning and leaving refreshed and looking fabulous! "
