Leon's Beauty School was founded in 1963 by the late Leon Oldham. The school was origionally opened on Tate Street in Greensboro under the name of Maison de Paris Beauty School. In 1974, it moved to expanded quarters on Walker Avenue, adjacent to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Greensboro College. In 1977, it was renamed Leon's Beauty School in honor of its founder.
In 1981 Leon's moved to West Lee Street and in 2007 into its current location on Coliseum Boulevard. Mrs. Leon Oldham served as President and Director of the school until her death in August 1994. Leon's Beauty School is presently operated by Mrs. Leon's daughter, Parker Washburn. It is a private co-educational institution which provides course work in cosmetology designed to prepare the graduate for opportunities such as : hairstylist, beauty salon manager, skin care specialist , make-up artist or manicurist. In addition to the basic cosmetology course, the school also offers a course in esthetics and a training course for cosmetology and esthetic teachers.
