It was so refreshing to meet and work with Kim. I scheduled a cut and full balayage for a Saturday morning. Finally, someone that works with my schedule. I haven't had my hair done in literally a year because of scheduling issues. I'm so glad she works weekends! Also, the website she uses for booking appointments is very easy to navigate and her confirmation/reminders are so helpful. Kim was very personable and genuine. She knew exactly what I wanted and what my hair needed. She works fast and efficiently. Time flew by when I was in the chair. I will definitely be back. If you're looking for a new hair artist, she's the one. read more

I hate to be negative but I wouldn't go back. My balayage looked horrible (more like a highlight than anything). She's really nice as a person, but I didn't like the fact that she took personal calls and texted while she was working on me. I would understand if it was during down time but she would have a foil in, phone would ring, and she would stop in the middle of the foil just to take a call. This happened at least 5x. I went to someone else to fix my hair afterwards. I didn't even bother to have her correct it. read more

Kim is AMAZING! I came to her at first a long time ago with black box color, and she was honest and realistic with me, and took the time to lighten my hair correctly over several sessions (but still surprising quickly for how dark it was at first!) and still keep it feeling and looking so shiny and healthy, with minimal breakage! She explained the steps and what it would take to lighten it over time without overly compromising the integrity of my hair, and always lets me know when she's having any specials of promotions. She makes sure to do deep conditioning treatments when needed, and always cuts my hair exactly like I want it. I'll never go to another stylist now! Thanks Kim read more

I'm not the kind of girl that usually gets their hair done because I never know what to get nor do I get the outcome I want when I do. So when I first went to K.Sam I know I wanted to go lighter. Which is something I've never done, hesitant at first, I asked her what she would recommend. Reading reviews and seeing some pretty solid outcomes, I was confident she would make me look good. I was not disappointed! Very rare moment for me to get exactly what I wanted and for it to actually look noticeable. Others have done my hair and you'd barely be able to notice anything different, so ya girl was def feeling herself. I will be coming back for another session! read more

For many years, I have attempted going blonde by many hairdressers and decided it's not for me. Then one of my co-workers recommended Kim. I will never go to anyone else ever again. She made me the perfect platinum blonde first try!!! I have been going to her for 3 years now. Just a few weeks before my wedding, my husband's grandmother past away and a lot of our plans changed so I was freaking out that my hair would not be done for my wedding. She was accommodating and super flexible!!! If I ever move out of state, I will gladly fly out to her. There's no way i'd trust anyone else!!! read more

I chose Kim to cut my hair since moving from Florida (so it's been a while since my last hair cut!). I was super nervous about having someone new cut my hair. But I was worried for nothing because she did a great job. She was able to figure out what I wanted after showing her pictures from Pinterest. She was very thorough in explaining what she was going to do and even helped me in deciding how short to go (almost 7 inches shorter!) After the washing, cutting, drying, and curling: I HAD THE GREAT REVEAL. I was definitely very impressed but I felt that I wanted to get some more layers in the back. She was more than happy to give me the extra layers. I am super happy with my haircut and have received tons of compliments. Thanks Kim! read more

Kim is so amazing at what she does! She is the 3rd person I've been to within the last few months after a hair stylist had messed up my platinum journey by putting a dark base over my roots (I had opt for a balayage because I was told it wouldn't have been possible to be an all over blonde in one go). It has been so hard trying to fight the ugly orange band that was smack dab in the middle of my head but Kim was able to make it work. She will always get straight to the point and make sure you understand the reality of whatever services you seek. I highly recommend everyone to come get their hair done by her. I'm super excited to see her again in a few weeks! read more

It's tough finding a good salon in a new area. I took a chance and booked a haircut based on the stellar reviews. My appointment was pushed back 30mins at the last minute, which I was fine with. The salon itself is a one woman show. When I walked in she had two other clients she was working on. While I commend her for doing her best to move from station to station, I think it really took away from the quality of service. I already had shoulder length hair and asked for her to reshape it to a bob. After the first reveal, I found that it was not the shape I wanted and asked for her to cut more. Although she was technically giving me what I wanted, she didn't make any recommendations or shape the bob to suit my face shape, which is what I'm used to. From the pictures posted, I'm sure she's great if you want a change in hair color, but I wouldn't recommend coming here for haircuts. read more

I went in to this salon last minute and it's a cute place but the stylist wasn't very friendly or talkative at all. She was very informative about why my extensions were hurting when they were being removed which was helpful but the hair wash after the removal was very rushed. I get blow outs every week and never once has my scalp ever been burned during the hair dry session and even after I let her know she didn't change the heat until I asked. The initial blow out was very messy and I had to go to another salon after to fix it after. It costs 75.00 for an extension removal and a less than mediocre blow out. I won't give this place a 1 Star because there probably is potential and maybe she will learn to do a better job next time for someone else. read more

After getting sick last year I hadn't gotten my hair cut in over a year and went in worried and just wanting a change. The bottom of my hair was crazy thin and the top was growing in thicker - basically just craziness. Kim was incredible, helpful, understanding and really helpful. She talked to me about my hair, stayed with me and re-did the things that were bothering me until it was just right. It was so great to have someone who could help me figure out what would work best for my hair right now and tell me about what could/will happen as it grows back out. Thanks, Kim! read more

I was new to extensions, new to the area as well, and had been trying to find someone with the right personality, experience and expertise. Needless to say I was so overwhelmed! I also should mention that this was kind of a last minute deal as I needed to fly home for a wedding within 2 weeks and wanted it done for that. Anyway, after talking with several salons I stumbled across K.Sam's info late on a Friday night. Kim replied to me within minutes and met me early Saturday morning for a consultation. I could instantly tell she knew her stuff and I haven't looked back since. Very highly recommended! read more
