Her Story

A calling rooted in community

Leticia Andrade's journey into cosmetology began right here in Salinas, California — the city she has called home her entire life. She pursued her cosmetology education at Wayne's College of Beauty in Salinas, back when the ROP (Regional Occupational Program) still covered tuition for students who showed the passion and drive to make something of themselves. Leticia had both in abundance.

She earned her California Cosmetology License and never looked back. What started as a calling became a career, and what became a career became a legacy. Over more than twenty years behind the chair, Leticia has built the kind of reputation that only comes from genuinely caring about the person sitting in front of you — not just the hair, but the human.

"Beauty is personal. When someone trusts you with how they look and feel, that's something you carry with pride. Every client who walks through my door deserves my very best — and that's what I give them, every single time."

Leticia opened Estetica Unisex Lety's as a solo operation — a Latina small business owner and sole proprietor who built everything from the ground up with her own hands, her own savings, and her own vision. No shortcuts. No investors. Just work ethic, talent, and an unshakeable commitment to her community.

Today, Estetica Unisex Lety's serves men, women, and children from across the Salinas Valley and Central Coast — including the hardworking farm worker families who are the backbone of this region. Leticia has always believed that professional, high-quality salon services should be accessible to everyone in her community, regardless of background or budget. That belief is baked into everything she does.

A Family Legacy

Beauty runs in the family

What makes Estetica Unisex Lety's truly special isn't just the skill behind the chair — it's the love that built this place and the family that keeps it going. Leticia didn't just build a business. She built something to be proud of, something to pass on.

Her son, Diego Caballero, was born and raised right here in Salinas. He is currently studying cosmetology and serves as a licensed apprentice at Estetica Unisex Lety's under Leticia's direct supervision, carrying forward the same standards of excellence and care that have defined the salon since day one — while bringing new, modern techniques into the mix. Watching the next generation learn the craft — the right way, with patience and precision — is something Leticia takes enormous pride in.

When you visit Estetica Unisex Lety's, you're not walking into a chain or a franchise. You're walking into a family — one that has dedicated itself to making every person who comes through the door look and feel their absolute best.
