I was going to be flying out in just two days, and as a last minute splurge, I checked in with this studio to see if they could squeeze me in for an appointment. To my surprise, they did! She was thorough and easy going, and despite taking me on at the very end of the day, I never once felt rushed. What was originally just going to be a quick woman's haircut to get rid of dead and splitting ends soon became a beautifully layered cut, and I cannot stress how grateful I really am. She not only took my inspirations and explained how they would work for my head and face, but gave advice on how to style it as it grows out The studio itself is comfortably sized, with a very relaxed, hospitable vibe. I will definitely be making this THE place I go for all my hair needs! read more

Great place for a cut! Great conversation!! K. Sam is an artist for sure!!! I would and will be going back for my follow up cut

Kim was a delight and a knowledgeable hair stylist. Working with curly hair as it's challenges and she knew the right cut. Very please, her salon is very chic, newer equipment and clean. No disappointments! read more

Well... I didn't know it was possible, but Kim got my hair from brownish, red lots of old color to a beautiful blonde. She was great and super talented I cannot wait to keep coming back! Super easy to find location also easy parking. read more

Kim is the best! In the past year, she has helped me with managing a hair color mess-up from another studio, maintain my hair as I grew it out in time for my wedding, and as of today, chop it all off now that the wedding's all done. With each service, Kim is super personable and fun but super professional and transparent and DEFINITELY knows what she's doing!!! I've got thick Asian hair that's wavy and hard to manage, but with her, I'm growing to enjoy it and its many different styles. I'm so lucky to have found Kim. Highly recommended! read more

AMAZING stylus, professional and such an eye for high quality. I switched from Gene Juarez to Kim 5 years ago and I am SO THANKFUL I found her!! Best hair extensions in Seattle!! read more

I've been going to Kimmy for my hair for about 10 years now. From bleach blonde to black hair and high-maintenance extensions, she's done it all for me! I'm always happy with her services and will be a life-long client! Thanks for always making me look hot Kimmy! You're the best! :D read more

Very friendly and loved Elijahs work he puts in a lot of work to make you look good and also shows great attention to detail goes above and beyond to take good care of you. Highly recommend read more

Kim is literally the nicest & sweetest person you will ever meet! Oh, did I also mention that she does amazing hair transformations? You could really tell that she loves what she does. I came up of an idea of chopping my hair off (shoulder length) and going as light as possible and I immediately texted Kim & told her what I wanted to do and she booked me right away. I had no idea how I would look with short hair but I wanted some change for 2018 plus my long hair was very dry and damaged. Kim did her magic & got my hair as light as possible without damaging it. She also cut my hair just with the perfect length! 4 hours later.. I loved how my hair turned out. Kim really never disappoints!! Obsessed with my hair color & haircut. read more

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

KIM THE HAIR GOD. Hands down! I have followed kim wherever she goes because she is THAT good. Her genuine personality makes two hours sitting in the chair feel like a blink of the eye. LOL. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to come see Kim. Her hands are magical. I'm always leaving happy and satisfied!!! 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

She took me in for consult and service before upcoming photoshoot giving her props for being accommodating and understanding about my situation. The service was quiet fast, I did expect to be in there for about 5+ hours, but we were done in 3. Kudos for fast service! The results are amazing, and she did a fabulous job correcting my mistakes. Thanks Kimmy! 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 understood exactly what I wanted and explained what the results would turn out to be. There are many stylists who says yes we can do this or that but they don't explain what tones will the chemicals would actually pick out. Kim was very thorough and did exactly what I asked. Yes, it's pricey but worth it. read more

Kimmy is literally a magician with hair, I highly recommend going to her for any coloring style, she's done beautiful blonde balayage and blue on me and every time I leave her chair I fall in love with my hair every time! Her personality is also so outgoing and easy to get along with, it feels like you're just hanging out while she's working on your hair! If you're planning on getting your hair done, she's the one to see 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 for a trim a month ago someplace else and was really unhappy because they barely did anything and left it uneven. As soon as I came in Kim knew exactly what I didn't like about it and I'm really happy with how my hair looks now. Will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I've been going to Kim for over two years now. She's done my blonde balayages, my tape in extensions, color, and hair cuts! Shes probably the most reliable and consistent hair stylist I've ever had. I can go to her for anything that I want with my hair. And that's a really good feeling. I leave happy every time. read more

I had my balayage hair done few months back and I believe we've scheduled another sesh this coming June and I caaaaaaan't wait (as you can see on my roots, it needs retouch)! Kim gets fully booked quickly so hughly recommend to book in advance. She is very talented, she listen to her clients, she's honest and will tell you what she thinks is best for you in a way professional way. I'm happy I found her chic salon! Thank you Kim! More power to your business! read more

I'm not really the review type, but I am so happy with my hair. This was the first time I've gotten my hair done in a few years because my last experience at a different salon was horrible. Kim made me feel so comfortable and made my hair look amazing. I will be returning for sure! read more

Was originally really excited about going here. The picture I showed Kim of how I wanted my hair, was not how my hair turned out at all! Waited a few days to see if my hair lightened some, the blonde I had in my hair actually turned a gray color. Ended up getting my hair fixed elsewhere. Definitely think it's over priced for the service you get. Could of caught her on a bad day, but most stylist are more talkative and interactive with clients! read more

Such a sweetie!! Kim was wonderful and did an amazing job with my extensions! She's professional, fast, and overall my experience here was GREAT!!! I'll be back babe! read more

Kim does an amazing job every time! I've gone to her on multiple occasions and followed her to every salon. I never leave her chair disappointed and would highly recommend her to anyone :) read more

Kim ALWAYS does an amazing job! Highly recommend her! Super outgoing, professional and delivers the best results.

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

Kim really took the time to listen to what I wanted and did a great job! She helped me come up with ways to take care of my hair as I ramp up for my wedding. I'll be back! read more

Three words: Go. To. KIM. Kim is AMAZING! THE best blondes colorist in Seattle. Fantastic stylist. Love her! Highly recommend her to anyone. I've been going to Kim for about 3 years. I wouldn't trust my color to anyone but Kim. Amazing experience from start to finish, I have found my forever hair home. read more

I absolutely love my color, great job Kim!! Thank you so much, will definitely be back again

Kimmy is amazing! I've been going to her for almost 3 years and she has never yet disappointed me! She communicates well and runs her business professional! She makes me feel beautiful every single time I leave her chair!! read more

Kim always knows how to make me feel pretty. She does a great job at listening to what I want and transforming it into amazing hair. I highly recommend Kim, if you want the best. She is great at what she does and it shows! 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
