Hair is in Kim Kimble's DNA. As a third-generation hair stylist, at the age of 16, she worked as a shampoo girl at her mother's salon. Soon after, she discovered her natural talent for styling and decided to pursue her cosmetology license at the Vidal Sassoon Academy and Dudley Cosmetology University in North Carolina. 

In 1995, Kimble opened her first salon. She has worked on films, television shows, and done work for magazines. Kimble has worked with the likes of Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Gabrielle Union, Zendaya, Mary J. Blige, Oprah and more. She also has a hair care brand under her own name.
