KIMMIE Ks NATURAL HAIR SALON 1715 Boone Avenue, The Bronx, NY 10460

"As soon as I arrived to the hair salon I was met with warm smiles and a greeting. I started on time and was treated like an old friend. I went to the salon for a Silk Press and a Trim. I loved the service and the aura of the salon. I love the mommy and daughter duo!"

"I had a very enjoyable session with Ms Kay as my daughter called her. My daughter is usually very sensitive to heat and tension, but Ms. Kay was very patient with her and always checking if she was ok. The stylist would always explain what she was doing and I really appreciated that. Ms. Kimmie(owner) was there and was very friendly. I will definitely return."

"It's a natural hair salon. They are very conscious of the type of products used for natural hair. They worked a miracle on my hair! They are worth their prices and have a friendly atmosphere. Due to Covid you have to make an appointment and pay a $25 deposit to hold your appointment. *Before and after pics of my hair. 1: Natural 2: Silk Pressed Update: Still love coming here. They care how they treat your hair. I had it colored somewhere else but they took the proper steps in maintaining my color and hydrating my hair. Still 5 stars!"

"I was looking for a stylist in my area to do a wash, deep condition, blow dry, silk press, trim and pin curls for my husband's 40th birthday party. It was definitely a last minute decision. I haven't straightened my 4c hair in 3 years due to heat damage with a previous stylist. HEAT DAMAGE is my biggest concern with my hair but I felt comfortable with giving Kimmie's a chance after seeing the silk press videos on their Instagram page and they fact that they were within walking distance from my house was a plus. I was able to get a 2pm appt on Friday, 1/24. When I got there I was greeted warmly by Kimmie. She had me fill out a questionnaire to find out if I had any allergies, how I usually handle my hair, etc. I was also offered a mimosa that I declined because I knew I'd be drinking later that evening. She explained to me that Ciara would be handling my silk press. Ciara introduced herself to me and talked me through various steps. My silk press started at $85. I was charged $30 for "cut" which really felt and looked more like a trim but I went along with it since I knew it had been 3 years since I had a real trim. What I regret not asking about was the heat protectant being used on my hair because while my husband and kids LOVED my hair and I got a lot of compliments on it when I washed my hair out Saturday 2/8 expecting to go back to my heat damage free curls...I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. Needless to say, my hair is FRIED in various sections. While I enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere at Kimmie's with the state my hair is now in after receiving service there I wouldn't go back without bringing my own heat protectant and I wouldn't even be comfortable with recommending any of my natural hair friends to try them when they want to straighten their hair. Which sucks. I would love to be able to find stylist near me who can actually do a silk press without frying the hell out of my hair! I had to cut the straight parts out, what I could cut out without basically chopping my length off. I can't even go back to my usual two strand twists because my hair is super straight in certain parts. This was such a disappointing experience but it's just hair, right?"
