About Kim Kimble

Kimberly Kimble, who is most commonly known as Kim Kimble was born in Chicago, Illinois on 24th December 1971. She is a celebrity hairstylist, beauty expert, and entrepreneur. Kimble is basically the hands behind famous manes like Beyonce, Halle Berry, Kelly Rowland, Mary J Blige, Shakira and Rihanna. Her self-made Hairmpire consists of hair-care products, hair extensions, salons, and a TV show. So where did it all begin?

As a child, Kimble was a huge fan of fashion and had dreams of becoming a designer.  At the tender age two, she was cutting out magazine pictures and paper dolls to create her very own fashion world.  She enrolled at a beauty school and with no money to pay her tuition, she did hair on the side.  When Kimble realized how creative hair-styling could be, she ditched her fashion designer dreams and pursued the business of hair. After finishing beauty school, Kimble worked at her mother’s salon as a shampoo girl. Here she received simple teachings which became the building blocks of her career.

Both Kimble’s mother and grandmother were stylists, however, her gran was more into healthy hair and conditioning treatments, so  Kimble took what she could from both mother and gran, and created her very own techniques which she showcased at her 1st salon, Phaze II, in Los Angeles in 1995.

Kimble’s celebrity hairstyling career took off when she was hired by the film producer Robert Townsend as Key Hairstylist on the movie B*A*P*S starring Halle Berry. The elaborate hairpieces that she designed for the film caught the attention of other Hollywood executives and talent, which led to her working on gigs like the TV movie Cinderella and Moesha starring Brandy. Later Kimble worked on The Jamie Foxx Show, Two Can Play That Game and Austin Powers: Goldmember. During the filming of Austin Powers, Kimble worked with Beyonce, which made her a household name in the hair world.  Since then Kimble has worked on  productions like Think Like A Man, Sparkle, Dreamgirls, Obsessed, Deliver Us From Eva, to name a few.

A few years later, Kimble was asked if she ever doubted the magnitude of her career, to which she replied, “When preparation meets opportunity. You always have to be ready for something. When you get your mind set in preparing for something, you don’t have time to doubt.”

Kimble’s career has gone into overdrive and she holds a Net Worth of $1.5 Million. Her Hair Studio,  Extension Bar and educational classes are always fully booked but she still makes time to film her popular reality TV show, LA Hair. Kimble opened her second salon, Kimble Hair Studio in West Hollywood, California and launched Kimble Beauty™, a full range hair care line designed to address the needs of women of colour with various hair textures.  Since then she has developed K2 Beauty™, a line of professional hair care products designed to augment the Kimble Beauty™ brand.

It is her philosophy that healthy hair and great style should coexist – thus, her products and tools are designed to work with a wide range of ethnic hair textures to create chic, yet manageable styles. If this hair-guru is not running her latest project, Hairdrobe™ by Kim Kimble, a line of wigs and extensions, she can be found hair-styling the likes of Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Williams, the Williams sisters, Kerry Washington, Sanaa Lathan, Garcelle Beauvais, Tarji P. Henson and Zendaya.
