Hi, I'm Kim!

I've always had a creative streak, even as a kid. I loved drawing, painting, and styling my Barbie dolls' hair. My passion for creating beautiful things has always been at the heart of everything I do, which is why I’ve only ever worked in the beauty industry. At 15, I started out as a receptionist in full-service salons and nail salons, and in 2007, I graduated with an Associate's Degree in Cosmetology.

​

I'm lucky to have an incredibly supportive husband, Guy. We've been married since 2019, and he’s always cheering me on, whether it's with my business ventures or our home renovation projects. We share a love for our dogs, antiquing, restoring our home, cooking, and baking.

​

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen my “co-workers”—our dogs Lulu, Vance, and Barry. They’re pros at lounging on the couch and love that I have a flexible schedule, which means I get to spend more time with them.

​

I've had the privilege of working on hundreds of weddings, which has given me tons of experience in knowing what looks best on someone and offering personalized recommendations. I specialize in wedding parties of eight or fewer, allowing me to provide more intimate services and really get to know my clients and their preferences.

​

I've been fortunate to train under some of the most talented hairstylists in the world, including:

- Antonia Ilchenko (@tonyastylist)
- Stephanie Brinkerhoff (@hairandmakeupbysteph)
- Renee Marie Lowney (@reneemarieacademy)
- Annette Waligora (@annette_updo_artist)
- Marta Hawro-Kociuba (@niezwykle_czesanie)

​

​

So, what’s great about working with me? I take great pride in my work and always aim to suggest hairstyles that will flatter you, last all night, and make you feel your most beautiful. Whether it’s your wedding day or another special occasion, I want you to have a fun and relaxed experience.

And the best part? I’ve developed techniques for creating waves that not only look stunning but also hold up for hours, so you won’t have to worry about your hair falling flat on those heavily photographed days.
