Leah Ortiz is a very talented stylist and she has a cozy, inviting salon.
I was not exactly sure whether I wanted bangs or not and she discussed curtain bangs with me. I ended up going with curtain bangs and LOVE them!
She did a beautiful job on my highlights and low lights!
She is by far the best hair stylist who has done my hair in Ocala!
Not only do I love the look she created for me, but I also appreciate the price!
A different salon I went to, before discovering Leah, charged ALOT more for ALOT LESS!
I will never go anywhere else now!
April 2026
Just moved to Florida from New Jersey, so obviously my biggest fear wasn’t hurricanes—it was finding someone to touch my curly hair.
Enter Chelsey, who immediately clocked my anxiety and handled it like a pro. She actually listened, didn’t go rogue with the scissors, and checked before cutting like a sane, trustworthy human (rare, honestly).
She colored my hair first then trimmed it—which already felt like a win—and somehow convinced me to try a hair mask even though conditioner usually betrays me and leaves my straightened hair looking like sad spaghetti.
So I walked in to ponytails and met Leah Ortiz for the first time a frumpy 69-year-old lady and came out with a very chic haircut and style making me feel like a young woman again Leah is fabulous! Hair salon is comfortable, relaxing fabulously put together. I highly recommend Pony Tail Salon.
