I can’t say enough good things about Kim! I first came to her after a complete hair extension disaster with tape-ins that needed a serious game plan (and a lot of patience) to fix. She took the time to carefully remove everything and came up with a new plan to get me back on track with my hair goals. Her vision and ability to make extensions look seamless is truly unmatched—my hair has never looked better. On top of that, the salon has the best atmosphere.

Kim and her staff are kind and offer nothing but the best talent for hair extensions in NE. They are skilled, helpful when you need to get in for a quick touch up and listen well.

I have very thin, long hair due to hormonal changes and am thrilled my hair is thicker now Kim is AUTHENTIC and knows her clients needs

Absolutely love The Authentic Collective! Kim is the first stylist I've had that gives me consistent results that I love (and I can be hard to please). I wouldn't trade her for the world. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

I was initially referred to her by my friend who has stunning hair, and from my very first appointment, I understood why. Kim is not just a stylist; she is truly educated and an absolute expert in her field. She takes the time to understand your hair, your needs, and provides insightful advice that goes beyond just a cut or color. You can tell she's passionate about her craft and continuously expanding her knowledge. What truly sets her apart, however, is her incredible vision to support women, including through the retreats... read more
