About

I found a profession early in life that I truly enjoy and find rewarding on a daily basis as it allows me to be creative. I can honestly say I love my job. My over 15 years of experience styling hair has provided me with education, and perspective that I’m able to bring to my chair and share with each of my clients. I love styles with lots of volume, movement and texture whether it’s a woman’s long, sexy, bouncy layered or short and sassy cut to a man’s razored messy style. Color is also another one of my passions. The challenge of corrective color is always worth the reward; I’ve gained many life-long clients after an initial corrective color appointment. Hair Painting is another service in particular that my clients are really enjoying. It’s a great way to totally change the look of a haircut by adding a few highlights or bold multi-dimensional all over color that grows out more natural than a foil.

Reviews

 “I have lived here three years and could not find a stylist that could get my cut just right. I found Kim through a friend and she is the best stylist I have had in years! My hair color is also amazing thanks to her. The products by Mitch are fantastic as well. My hair has never been healthier!!”

“Kim is an incredible stylist and I will not go to anyone else. She knows me, knows what I want and always accommodates my schedule. I have called many times at the last minute and she does whatever it takes to fit me in. She is the consummate professional and the perfect reflection of MJS's status as a premier Boston salon. I have recommended her to anyone who asks for a referral. She's as good as it gets in my mind.”
–Bob, Boston, MA

“I have been getting my haircut by Kimberly for just over 5 years. Kimberly embodies the ideology of the salon. Her professionalism and knowledge are just a few of the reason I refer clients to her, not to mention her disposition is always a pleasure to deal with each and every time I come in.”
–Michael, Somerville, MA

“Kim gives me the best haircut and always goes the extra mile. I have been a client for over 10-years and I always get exceptional service and treatment. I always am asked "who cuts" or "who colors" your hair? And I am always proud to tell people where I go. You all keep me looking fabulous!!”
–Melissa, Waltham, MA
