I've been trusting Kim with my hair for years. She does a great cut and is a wizard with color! On top of that, she listens to me when I ask for something different. Her salon is now right on Marion St, which is so convenient and also very close to parking. read more

I was so happy to have found Kim Collins! She does a superb job with a cut every time. She listens to what I am looking for and has made a little adjustments over time to the style. read more

She is amazing! Very talented and experienced hairstylist. Not many people here can cut and style Asian hair well. But Kim did an amazing job! She even gave me a lot of great advice on how to take care of my hair and I learned a lot of things I'd never known! Had a great time having a conversation with her while she's cutting my hair too and I usually don't talk much with hairstylists. After I got out of the studio, a random lady walking by told me my hair looked really nice. Definitely my favorite hairstylist! read more

I have been coming to Kim for my entire life (23 years) and she's been the best. I find it hard to go to a different barber shop/hair salon because they just don't get my hair right. She pays attention to the details and is very good at what she does. When I was in college, I would commute 2.5 hours just to get my hair cut from her. You'll never want to see another hair stylist again. read more

Great News people! Kim will once again be in the Oak park area very soon. Glad to have her back locally because I have yet to find a better stylist and I'm OLD. Kim is very careful to do a precision cut. She is experienced in all types of hair and is flat out talented. Go Kim! Visit her soon at Salon Lofts in Oak Park. She is excellent read more

Best color, best cut! Kim Collins is a true, experienced professional. I love her new space as well! read more

These other reviews are right on. Kim is awesome, cool and "so pretty" like my son says. She made my son feel very comfortable and gave him an awesome cut.. exactly what we were hoping for. Well done read more

This was my first time getting my hair done since Covid and it was in really bad shape. Kim took the time to explain what I was doing wrong and what I needed to do get my hair healthy again. She did an amazing job with my hair. it looks and feels better than it has in a long, long time. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and talented hairdresser. read more

My Mom got her hair done, and Kim did a great job. Kim is very knowledgeable about hair, and my Mom's hair looks better than in has in years. read more

DO NOT go anywhere else!!! Kim knows what she is doing! I have short hair, & I have had my hair cut & colored from leading salons in OP, RF & the Gold Coast $$$$ ones. I can honestly say, Kim gave me The Best Cut & Color I have received ever!! she listened to what I wanted & I showed her a few pics on my phone & BAM! She delivered BETTER then what I thought it would be. If you are looking for a Salon with fruit infused water/beverage, snack, personal robe etc. then go somewhere else. Kim's Salon has ALL the tools & product needed for a kick-ass haircut & color without all the pretenses (& costs) associated with the "fancy salons". Oh, I forgot to add, she is one of the nicest & best customer service stylists I have ever encountered. read more

I discovered Kim on Yelp and had my first cut with her yesterday. She was so fun to talk with while cutting my hair! The best part is it was an awesome haircut! I love it and it is day 2 and had to style it myself and I still love it! A great experience! read more

Kim did an amazing balayage and cut on my hair! A friend recommended me to her and I'm so glad I went. I wanted something subtle but a noticeable change in my hair and she nailed it. She is also a very nice person! read more

Kim Collins Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

See all

Kim is meticulous and does a fantastic job of cutting and styling hair. She listens to what you want and delivers!

She does an amazing job! Very professional and she knows what she's doing.. gave me a beautiful haircut

Nothing but delighted with my haircut! I've always wanted a pixie cut but was often left with too much volume and length. Kim quickly brought my thick hair under control - she really knows her trade and is lovely to talk to. The shop is a airy, open space and I felt good just walking in. I came because of a Deals voucher and will absolutely be back! read more

Kim was a pleasure and she really knows how to cut hair. Loved my cut and finally found a place close to home to get my hair cut.

I moved here from LA recently and was pretty freaked out about finding a new hairdresser. Thankfully I read the reviews and booked an appointment with Kim. She's amazing!!! Kim gave me the most natural highlights/lowlights I've ever had and a cut that's perfect for my hair type. She's incredibly thoughtful and talented and gave me the personalized cut/color I've always wanted. And then came the bill...half of what I was paying in LA! YES!! Needless to say, I'll be going back. read more

Kim is awesome. I got the best haircut of my life from her yesterday. She is so personable and is only concerned about the health of your hair and making you look your best. She didn't try to sell me any product; in fact, recommended a much less expensive option than most salons sell. I loved my experience. Thanks Kim!!! read more

Kim is the greatest. She does an excellent job of cutting hair. She cuts my 16 and 12 year old boys. They will not go anywhere else. She also colors and cuts my wife hair. When we go to Kim it's a family affair. Prices are very reasonable. Would recommend her to anybody. She takes appointments and walk ins read more

I saw Kim for the first time on Wednesday after reading great reviews. I love this salon. It has unique character and Kim is great stylist. I love my new haircut and I will be returning for sure. read more

Kim gives a fantastic haircut! She immediately understood my hair and what I wanted. Lots of texturizing and the perfect length and feel-I love it!! read more

When it comes to hair salon services, Kim Collins is truly awesome! She is a very experienced and talented professional. Kim's studio is warm and inviting. I am so glad she just opened up her own place. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Only go to Kim if you want a top notch haircut without the high price. I've been going to a stylist in Hyde Park for years but decided that I needed someone closer. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I decided why not? I'm so glad I went. Kim definitely knows how to cut all different types of hair (mine are the straight coarse Asian kind) and you get interesting conversation to boot. read more

Kim is the best. Very personable and professional. I have received many compliments on my cut and color. She is a perfectionist and her prices are more than reasonable. read more

My 11-year old son has beautiful but difficult hair - lots of thick, wavy (cowlicky) hair that he wants to keep longer. He's been to a few local salons and we explained what he wanted but his hair has not turned out well. We tried Kim on the strength of her reviews and she lived up to every one of them. Kim reviewed his hair, looked at a picture of what he wants, explained why it was going to take time to get there, and listened to him and talked to him. He walked out happy with his haircut for the first time in a long time. And I'm happy, too. He doesn't look shaggy, he's moving towards a style, and the cut is so much better than those he's received before. Thank you so much, Kim! We will be back. read more

Ditto all the previous reviews plus let me say - she listened to my concerns. I only have 2 issues that I need addressed when I get my haircut and Kim is the first stylist in 5 years (and 6 different stylists) to hear what I say. Bonus - she is fun to spend time with. It's a win win. read more

I have been getting my hair done with Kim as well as my son and daughter and wouldn't go anywhere else. Decided to go for a new look and cute all my hair off and Kim took my vision and made it a reality. Love my cut and new look and each time I leave I get nothing but compliments. read more

I have curly hair that had not been cut in, well, longer than it should have been. I chose this salon based purely on internet reviews, and Kim lived up to all the great reviews she's gotten. She did a careful job to put shape back into my abused hair, and she told it to me straight what could be salvaged and what needed to go (and what I should do in the future to be nicer to my hair). She actually ended up cutting it in 3 stages, styling a little in between, to ensure the curls were falling right. This was honestly the most attention anyone has ever spent making sure the shape was right. I will definitely be going back. read more

Kim was very nice, and she took great care of my hair. She also gave me tips on how to manage it, which was very helpful. She is a little pricey, however, but if you're in need of a haircut, and a good stylist, I recommend Kim. read more

I've been going to Kim for a few months now, and my hair hasn't been this healthy in a really long time. I go every 4 weeks because of the "gift" of grey hair! She really cares about the health of your hair and gives great advice. She's also always on time which is much appreciated too! read more

Great place! She is really big on hair care too. Love it! It is also conveniently located. I definitely recommend her!

Wonderful experience ....Appointment on time, Kim is fun to chat with, she knows hair and is passionate about what she does. First time and the cut and style were perfect!! Gave me great hair/scalp care tips! My new hair studio! read more

As a guy, I've always felt weird about going to stylist places, but Kim's "studio" felt right. She's a no-nonsense woman who knows what she's doing. I really like my cut and I'll be back. read more

Such a great find, Kim nailed my cut. I have thick, blonde, straight hair and she knew how to cut to flatter my face using the pictures I showed her. It's a nice setting change from regular salons where the stylists are trying to sell you product, waiting long, etc. I would recommend Kim to anyone who wants a no-fuss experience and a great cut for a great price! read more

Kim Collins is THE BEST. She is an expert in understanding her clients specific hair and hair issues and is also a perfectionist. I've had the best cuts of my life with her and same with my kids. read more
