I've been getting my haircut here since high school. I usually get my haircut by Olivia who is fantastic and always understands exactly what I want. This time, I had my haircut by Michael and I am very happy with the result! He is very easy to talk to and made sure to understand what I wanted before the haircut. Highly recommend coming here if you want a fresh new look! Olivia and Michael are the best :) read more

I'm from out of town visiting family and was a little nervous going to a different hair salon but Olivia was great! I called and was taken in right away. Olivia was sweet and a great conversationalist. She listened to what I wanted - a trim with a little layering and thinned out my hair as well. Prices are also very reasonable. I recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. Support your local businesses during this tough time :) read more

Dyed my hair here. Turned out pretty awesome! Also, the hair dresser was really nice.

Olivia cut my hair perfectly and I loved it! She's very friendly and makes suggestions for your haircut but also listens to your preferences. I wasn't sure what I wanted exactly and she made sure to pause during the cutting and ask if I liked the changes! Thank you!! Also she accepts venmo which is great if you don't carry cash! before vs after, a simple trim and thinning read more

My family has been going to this salon for more than 20 years. Olivia did the makeup and hair for my mom's wedding! Olivia is very kind and she listens to what her clients want. She also gives good recommendations depending on what type of style you want. My dad always sees Micheal to get his haircut - and the one time he didn't get his hair cut by Michael, it looked terrible LOL I can't recommend Kim's Hair Salon enough! Excellent service and reasonable prices. read more

Olivia has been my hairdresser for many years. She keeps me updated about new styles. I get complemented multiple times for my hairdo and highlight. Olivia is very knowledgeable about hair products and uses the best for your care. I highly recommend her. All my family goes to her. read more

I've been coming to Kim's since 2009. Olivia has done everything from haircuts, hair color to straightening for my family. Every visit is an exceptional visit. Olivia listens to what you want and what you don't want. She offers suggestions that are based on your style. In the end we've always left with the perfect style even when we've come to her without a clear idea of what we want. LOL TIP: Bring a picture of styles you like it makes it easier for Olivia to get started. Otherwise you'll find yourself trying to rip through magazines and doing internet searches on the spot. Our last visit was for my daughter's hair and makeup for her senior portrait. This was a tough visit because my daughter is pretty low key and doesn't wear makeup or style her hair beyond the everyday low ponytail. Olivia had recommended we email her some pictures of hair styles my daughter liked, but we didn't do our homework and showed up with a vague idea of what to do for a hairstyle. Not to worry! Olivia quickly gave us some suggestions. My daughter loved the style. Thanks Olivia!!!! The makeup was a no brainer ... a natural look. I have to admit I was nervous about this...since my daughter doesn't wear makeup any makeup is too much for her, even for a natural look. When the false eyelashes went on the look really came together. When Olivia was done and my daughter was smiling, and I was smiling too. We all hugged. I know, I know...corny. I now know I can trust Olivia with hair and makeup. Thanks Olivia for always providing excellent customer service and keeping track of the treatments you do to my hair. See you soon!!!! read more

This is a simple salon, not the high end looking salon but service is exceptional! Unlike those high end looking salon where you basically pay for the place not the service; you pay for the service they provided. i recommend Olivia; She listens to what you want, suggest what is best and I left her place looking forward to comeback. She speak good english too so it wasn't hard to explain or talk to her and feel comfortable. Tip: bring cash. read more

After reading some Yelp reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Olivia was super friendly and listened to all the concerns I had about my over-color treated, dry hair. She tailored to my every request on how I want my hair to look and gave suggestions to best suit my needs. I was really happy with my new cut and I would definitely recommend her! read more

After searching through countless salons, my cousin referred me here. I got my hair done for Prom by Olivia and saying that I was happy about the service and the outcome is an understatement! I showed her a picture of what I wanted done, and that's exactly what she did. She was very friendly and was helpful with tips to keep my hair from falling throughout the night. If you're looking for someone to do your hair for a special event, I suggest you ask for Olivia! read more

Never come back again. Im totally disappointed after going here. They do not know how to cut hair. I just wanna cry when I look myself in the mirror. Bad experience ever!!! read more

Olivia is the best. She listened to what I wanted and left my hair soft and lighter. Made an appointment and was seen later that same day. Price is fair. Olivia knows what she is doing. read more

Went in as a walk in, super nice people and great work! The barber has worked there for 20 plus years so he is very experienced. Would go again. read more

First person to reviewed this,yeayy!!! Come to this salon on saturday afternoon,I didn't making appoinment yet,coz I just wanna stop by to look the atmosphere first..small venue with nice and clean decorations. I said I want some hair cut, so they wash my hair,give conditioner,and serum first then the cut started. Michael,the one who cut my hair. I told him that I want my bangs below my eyebrows so with my wet hair being cut I'm afraid after it gets dry the bangs shrinking..he's so careful and listen to every words that I said (I traumatized get silly hair look). He always ask me after he cut an inch,"ok?" Yup,I'm satisfied with my new look..thx michael. For the price is still affrodable for careful hair designer (my bill $30) read more

I've been going to Kim's Hair Design for about 3 years now. It is a small, family owned hair salon. Olivia always cuts my hair and does the straight perm for me. She is very friendly and accommodating. She really takes her time with her client and never rushes to get the job done. She also gives ideas/suggestions about your hair style. I believe she keeps a log about her clients as well so she knows exactly what I got done last time. Very professional. Price is reasonable. There is parking in the back. I always call ahead to make an appointment just to be safe. read more

Getting my hair cut gives me anxiety, but this was the best experience I've had yet at a salon. Olivia is so friendly (speaks English well if thats what you're worried about) and asks many necessary questions so you get exactly what you want. Plus the price is very reasonable ($33). Ample parking in the back. I will be coming here now on for my future hair cuts :) read more

Never write a review before and decided to write one because of a nice hair cut. Had a hair cut two weeks ago at this salon after reading few reviews from yelp and gave it a try. It isn't a fancy salon but very comfortable place with reasonable price to have a satisfied hair cut. Olivia listens to my idea and gives her opinion to have a make its better. I like this place. Definitely going back next time! read more

I feel like this place should have more reviews, so I'm here to add to the reviews it already has. I just got my haircut done by Michael. He did a great job, took his time, was very polite and made sure he cut it in the way I wanted it and also in a way that he knew would benefit me. My hair was thick and very knotted since I don't brush my hair, but he dealt with it well. He made it lighter by layering - good for summer and also easier for brushing. Also, he told me how to look after it, especially because having long hair means making sure it doesn't get too dry. I was only there for a cut and wash, but he also offered to help me curl it with the curler afterwards - basically my hair was ready for a party! $30 + tip well spent. I was happy with my haircut :) read more

I like my haircut a lot, but I would give this place a total 5 just based off of working with Olivia alone. She's fluent in English which really helps this ole ABC communicate what she wants done with her hair. Olivia is trained in Hong Kong and keeps up by training out here in the States as well. As another yelper mentioned, she really takes her time to listen to what you want but will tweak according to what she thinks makes the most sense for your hair. She has a gentle, intentional demeanor which I really liked a lot and asked me how for feedback before we finished the cut so we could work on the hair some more. I have had my hair cut by several different stylists, and by far she has been a favorite for the reasons mentioned. My wash, cut and dry was $30. read more

A week ago I went to a hair salon in Santa Monica but I did not like how it came out. She didn't listen to how I wanted it at all. About 4 years ago I went to Olivia for a bob hair cut and I remembered I really liked it so I decided to go back to get my haircut fixed. I showed her how I wanted it and at the end it came out exactly how I wanted. She actually listened to me and even gave some great suggestions. I learned my lesson going somewhere else. And to top it off she charged a good price. It cost me only $30 when it cost me $60 in Santa Monica. I paid less here and actually really liked it! Definitely coming back! (: read more

My wedding makeup artist referred me to Olivia for my cut, color, and highlight right before my wedding. Since I was pleased with my makeup girl, I trusted her referrals. Olivia cut my hair, did a base color, and then put in highlights at her tiny salon. I was absolutely mortified with the end result. My highlights came out super streaky and chunky. It didn't even blend nicely with the rest of my hair. I felt like I was back in high school with cheap looking highlights. What infuriated me even more was she charged me about $85 EACH for the color and highlight. And then the cut was about $55. Then she asked for cash only. I've gone to nicer salons that didn't even charge me that much and usually offer complimentary cuts with your color. After reading some of the other reviews, I really feel ripped off. She should not be charging that much for the type of service she provides at her salon. She is not a grand 5 Star salon!!! read more

My wife and I enjoyed the hair cut and coloring @Kim. From simple man hair cut to trendy woman hair style and highlight with different colors, we are happy @Kim. Don't take my words, go see for yourself. read more

Great service. She cared about my needs importantly and I would definitely come back. Price of $30 is ok because my hair after all was long past my waist. read more
