INDEPENDENT STYLIST. PERSONAL BY DESIGN.
Hi, I’m Kim.
Let’s talk hair.
More than two decades behind the chair. A thoughtful approach to color and cuts. And an appointment that feels like a conversation, not a production line.
“A great result starts with understanding the person in the chair.”
THE APPROACH AT HAIR BY KIMExperience, with a personal touch.
My career has taken me from Boston to Los Angeles to San Diego. I worked at Carlton Hair Fashion Valley and Carlton Hair UTC before establishing my independent business near UTC Mall.
Vidal Sassoon Academy training.
My training includes the Vidal Sassoon Academy, Goldwell, Bumble & Bumble, Redken, and Brazilian Blowout. That experience informs my work—but your hair, your starting point, and your goals guide the appointment.
Your hair. Your routine. Your plan.
Whether you’re maintaining your favorite color, refreshing your cut, or exploring a new direction, we’ll talk about the result you want and the upkeep that fits your life. A clear conversation makes it easier to select the right service and reserve enough time.
A familiar stylist in a convenient place.
You’ll find me inside Joel C Ma Hair Studio at 4150 Regents Park Row, Suite 140, near UTC Mall and UCSD. Appointments are required. If you’re not sure what to book, text me first with photos of your current hair and your inspiration.

Good hair.
Client reviews.
I have been a client of Kim’s for many years. She is the best. She is excellent at color, I often get compliments on my “natural red hair” it is all Kim’s magic. My mom liked my hair so much she switched to Kim. The best!
I’ve been going to Kim for years. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She is so careful with my thin, brittle hair and gives me such natural highlights. I get the perfect cut for my face shape.
Kim is the best. Not only is my gray covered, she also does a beautiful job with the cut and blowout. Plus she is smart and fun to chat with. Highly Recommend !!
