Some of the nation’s best stylists have planted roots in Bellevue. Walk through the doors of the Leigh Edwards & Co. salon in One Bellevue Place, just past the stunning floral wallpaper and beyond the movie star-quality chairs, and you’ll find Kelly Clarkson’s brow gal, Blake Shelton’s hair stylist, and even a hair wizard from rural Tennessee who gave me the best blowout I’ve had to date. Leigh, Edwards & Co.

Owner Amanda Craig Borski has formed a team of experts specialized in a variety of beauty services.

“In 2021, I rebranded to ‘Build a Team So Strong No One Knows Who The Boss Is,’” she shares. “I believe that if you build your team’s confidence along with empowering them, clients will feel the leadership and positive energy in the salon.”

When I arrived at the salon, I was greeted with a string of smiles and a crisp ice water in a trendy little goblet (it’s the little things). It was like being immersed inside a Pinterest board – both for the stunning decor, where no detail was left unnoticed, and for the impeccable, effortless fashion each stylist donned. It can only be described as cool.

I was holding my tangled head a little higher before my service even began.

McKaya Bright spent some time walking me through the blowout process, chatting about my hair type, and explaining which products she planned to use to target my specific needs. We decided on a full-blown Victoria’s Secret treatment because… why not?

If your style of bookkeeping looks more like a box of crumpled receipts than intentional organization, your business’s finances may be in need of a makeover.

For Joy Baker of Baker Bookkeeps, there’s nothing she loves more than helping transform someone’s stressful financial records into an organized dream, all while educating clients so that they feel in control of their money.

“Just that clarity side, of them really understanding what's going on in their business and having a good plan, where they can be as involved and as detailed as they want,” she says of the peace and understanding she provides clients. “It's really looking at ‘where are they right now? What are they in need of?’ It’s that peace of mind that their numbers are correct. There is a clarity there and that is a continually evolving element. I just love guiding people from where they are, even if they begin with zero clarity…to really having a good handle on it and sleeping better at night. It really does make a difference.”

A Bellevue resident and mother of three, Baker specializes in working exclusively with businesses. Her passion for bookkeeping began while working for her family’s business, where she found that bookkeeping duties—which can be intimidating to many—were her favorite responsibilities to oversee. That passion eventually led her to branch out on her own and establish Baker Bookkeeps in 2021.

When he was in his 20s, Taylor Zarzour attended a camp in Los Angeles where aspiring sportscasters would learn tricks of the trade from industry professionals.

One of the more revealing activities was a session where ‘campers’ would call the action of old football or basketball games that were played on video screens in their makeshift press box. It was there that Zarzour's engaging and energetic delivery caught the attention of veteran broadcasters.

“My style leans into enthusiasm,” Zarzour says. “I try to be as descriptive as I can be, and I bring a ton of passion. That’s who I am as a person. And the [instructors] were sort of laughing at my enthusiasm. I asked, ‘is that bad?’ and they said, ‘no, don’t ever lose that. There was refining to do but they leaned into what makes me [who I am] and started coaching me up.”

Since then, Zarzour has embarked on a career path that has taken him from ESPN to SiriusXM with stints in local markets from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas, including a brief stop in Nashville some 20 years ago.

Earlier this year, that path led him back to Middle Tennessee when he became the new play-by-play announcer for the Tennessee Titans. Zarzour has been on the job since April, but he steps up to the mic for his first regular season game when the Titans kick off the 2025 campaign on September 7 on the road against the Denver Broncos.

Ensworth School may be synonymous with impressive academics and championship-caliber athletics, but the excellence doesn’t stop there. Woven into the fabric of the curriculum is an emphasis on the arts – a powerful inclusion that’s directly shaped the lives of many students. We’re not just talking decorated songwriters and professional actors; even alumni who have made it to the NFL credit Ensworth arts with their success.

Every Ensworth student takes four semesters of visual or performing arts before graduation. This isn’t meant to be a checkbox, but rather a tool to shape well-rounded students.

“I think Ensworth offers a healthy balance of academics, arts, and athletics, allowing kids to invest in all three different dimensions,” says Jim Aveni, Ensworth's Director of Arts. .aveni.9

Ensworth’s dedicated arts building features a ceramics studio with a working kiln, a black box theater, a dance studio, a theater lobby that doubles as a visual arts gallery, and its crown jewel, a 680-seat theater equipped with a hydraulic orchestra lift that makes it tough to remember you aren’t on Broadway, but rather a high school in Bellevue.

The program spans both visual and performing arts. Visual arts students choose from disciplines like drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and darkroom photography, while performing arts offerings include music, dance, acting, and guitar.

For many Bellevue residents, back-to-school also means back to a routine. Saying goodbye to the carefree, unscheduled days of summer and returning to the balancing act of school pickups, work, after-school activities, homework, dinner, and everything in between can be overwhelming. Amid the chaos, one thing you don’t have to worry about is your dog because GoDog West Nashville has you covered.

GoDog West Nashville provides peace of mind and makes sure your pup is not only taken care of but is having the time of their life. A family franchise started by father-son team Jess and Ben Eberdt, GoDog is a labor of love where all the dogs are treated like family.

Located on Highway 70 less than a mile east of OHB , GoDog offers everything from daytime doggie daycare and grooming, to extended stay boarding. Campus Director Angie Frye and her team greet every pet parent and dog at the door during drop offs at their 14,000 square foot facility.

“Everybody has just welcomed us and are very appreciative of what we are able to do with their dogs and make sure that they have a good time,” says Frye. “They’re very comfortable knowing that their dog is well loved and taken care of while they’re gone, whether it be for a day or a week or two weeks or whatever. They have their trust in us…that just means the world to me.”

These days the term “back-to-school” means more than just returning to the classroom. It’s a reminder that a healthy back is important for students of all ages.

That can be tricky. You don’t have to be the parent of a student to know that kids are hauling enormous backpacks, stuffed to the brim, all day long. Add-on musical instruments, athletic gear and, eventually, bulky winter jackets and, if you look closely, you might just see your child under there somewhere. In some cases, you might say they resemble astronauts walking on the moon.

“Going back to school is a hectic time of year that comes with a lot of excitement,” says Dr. Jocelyn Redlinski. “But the busy schedules can cause a lot of stress, too. Waking up and going to bed earlier, eating lunch at school, sports and activities can lead to new aches and pains, fatigue and emotions. These can be small signs that the body is struggling to adjust to the new routine. If we can address these conditions early, they can be treated effectively. So my advice to parents is to be intentional and be aware.”
