Services
Brazilian Blowout
This professional keratin smoothing treatment transforms frizzy, damaged hair into sleek, manageable locks. Using breakthrough bonding technology, it creates a protective protein layer that eliminates frizz and enhances shine while improving hair health. The 90-minute in-salon service provides semi-permanent results lasting 2-4 months, allowing immediate washing and styling post-treatment. Ideal for all hair types, it offers a safer alternative to traditional straightening methods while maintaining hair integrity.
Electrolysis
FDA-approved permanent hair removal solution that targets individual hair follicles with precision. Utilizing advanced technology in a sterile environment, this method guarantees lasting results through a series of sessions tailored to client needs. Licensed specialist Barbara Harmison delivers treatments ranging from 15-60 minutes, addressing excess hair growth caused by heredity, hormones, or medical conditions. The process works on all skin and hair types with minimal discomfort and adjustable intensity settings.
Hair Coloring
Custom color transformations designed to enhance natural features and complement personal style. Expert colorists assess face shape, skin tone, and lifestyle to create dimensional looks ranging from subtle highlights to bold fashion colors. The service includes professional-grade products and aftercare advice to maintain vibrancy, with seasonal color recommendations for fresh updates. Specializing in corrective color and foil highlighting techniques for precision results.
Eyebrow Microblading
Precision cosmetic tattooing technique that creates natural-looking, hair-like strokes in eyebrows. Certified artist Barbara Harmison uses a handheld tool to deposit pigment beneath the skin, achieving defined arches that last 1-2 years. The two-hour procedure includes numbing cream for comfort and produces waterproof, smudge-proof results that eliminate daily makeup application. Ideal for sparse brows or those seeking permanent enhancement.
Body Waxing
Expert waxing services for men and women using high-quality products in a private setting. Specializing in Brazilian, bikini, and full-body waxing with aftercare lotion to soothe skin and prevent irritation. The process removes hair from the root for longer-lasting smoothness compared to shaving, with treatments available for all skin types. Clients receive personalized advice for maintaining results between sessions.

Yesterday I had an appointment with a hair stylist to color my hair. She couldn't make the appointment and wanted to reschedule. I declined and called Kim's Hair Studio to see if I could get in. Kim was able to get me in the same day and this was with the help of her mom you took my initial call. Thanks, MOM! : This was meant to be. I not only found my fairy godmother hair stylist but a new friend! I highly recommend Kim and I referred a few of friends.

Kim has been my mom's hair stylist for decades, and was mine as well for a number of years until I moved out of state. Long story short, I had no choice but to go to a new hairstylist where I live to touch up my highlights the day before I was heading back to Chicago for my wedding. Due to a few different factors, the color got totally messed up. I didn't feel like myself which is the worst thing to feel 4 days before your wedding!
I was out of time to go back to that salon to get it fixed, so that same evening I texted Kim to explain my situation hoping that she had an opening to help. She was able to get me in the day after I got to Chicago and was so reassuring that it would be an easy fix. I sent her pictures of what I currently looked like and what I was hoping I would look like once all was said and done, and she knew exactly what she was going to do.
When I saw the final product of her fix I almost cried in relief. She did such an amazing job! I will always be so grateful to Kim for helping me feel like myself again before one of the most important days of my life. I wish I lived in Chicago so she could still be my hairstylist!

So I just moved to the area and decided to try a new salon. I walked in looking for a touch up and cut. I spoke with the owner Kim and she seemed nice, but when things got started I could tell things weren't going well. Halfway through my hair looked two toned with super bright roots and dull ends. Then I got put under the dryer with my foils on which made it worse. I have sandy blond hair and wanted a touch up and highlights.
How hard is it to manage that? I've never had an issue anywhere else before. When I confronted her about this she became agitated and defensive. I'm the customer and I wasn't happy with my hair but she was only concerned with me paying and getting me out the door so she could service another client. Needless to say I had to have it fixed at another salon in the area and I will never be back here. I don't recommend it unless you are ok with attitude and sub par hair skills.
