I’ve been behind the chair for 20 years, and since 2012 Scottsdale has been where I create custom color and extensions that feel polished, current, and effortless to wear. My goal is simple: hair that fits your lifestyle and always feels worth the investment.

I started at the Aveda Institute of Beauty and Wellness, where I built both technical skill and a love for client care. After 10 years with Aveda, I transitioned to Kevin.Murphy and became a Gold.Key Educator, training stylists across the Valley. In 2018, I traveled to Augusta, GA, to earn my Hand-Tied Extension Certification with Bombshell Extensions. Education is everything to me — I’m always chasing new techniques so my clients get the most seamless, modern results.

I made Tempe home in 2010, trading Midwest winters for desert sun. Outside the salon, you’ll usually find me camping under the stars, cooking something new, moving my body, or with my family and German Shepherd, Luna.

Through Lovely by Kimberly, I bring my vision and expertise to life while working inside Viola Rosa Salon in Old Town Scottsdale. For me, it’s more than just great hair — it’s about creating a space where you can slow down, be cared for, and leave feeling like your most confident self.
