I was a first-time customer of Kimberly’s and she did exactly what I asked for. She’s absolutely perfect !!!!!

Kimberly has been cutting my hair for a while and always does a fantastic job. She is an absolute pleasure and an excellent stylist. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat. In fact, my wife and kids now all get their hair done by her and are super happy!

This was my most enjoyable hair experience in years! Kimberly did a color correction on me and was able to get the exact color I was hoping for. Prior to my appointment she consulted with me about what I was looking for and walked me through her thoughts. She is personable, professional, and efficient. Aside from the amazing color, the haircut was also great! I have already booked my next appointment:)

Always manages to match my desired maintenance level with the perfect cut! 10 out of 10 every time!

I cannot recommend Kim enough. She is amazing and I've never left her chair disappointed at Live Free Hair Studio. I've been going to her for cut and bayalage or highlights for years. I am also very prone to doing big chops and love leaving with a huge transformation. I honestly just give her an idea of what I would like and let her go for it; I truly trust her skills and judgement that much! On top of her skills, she is absolutely such a genuine human and I'm so glad I have found her. Long appointments fly by with her. Thank you Kim for everything!

I love getting my hair done by Kimberly! I am so very happy to have found her! She is such an amazing hair stylist and is so consistent in her work! She makes you feel so welcomed and it’s always a great experience visiting her salon. She has done haircuts, root color, and a beautiful balayage on me that I always get compliments on! Completely love her work and especially her as a person! Visit Kimberly! You won’t regret it!

Kimberly is the best! she turned my at home black hair dye fail to a beautiful blonde in just two sessions!


Feb 06, 2024

Kimberly is the best! I wish I were daring enough to get some more artistic hair color but I love my blonde. I'm always so happy!


Feb 06, 2024

I absolutely love Kimberly and her work. She is very consistent and I always leave feeling so great about my hair and myself. I've been a loyal client since 2021 and am so happy I found her!


Feb 06, 2024

I came in to get my hair colored pink and left with a hair style and color even better than expected! My hair looks and feels great and I've received so many compliments already. I felt very comfortable in the studio and had a lot of fun with Kimberly. Thank you so much! I don't want to go anywhere else now I've been spoiled by you!


Feb 06, 2024

I love getting my hair done by Kim! You can tell she really cares about her clients and their needs & wants when it comes to their hair. She is also very professional and I always enjoy our conversations. Best hairstylist in Austin!


Feb 06, 2024

Kim is a talented and skilled hair stylist! As soon as I made an appointment she reached out to me via text to get 5 years of hair history and that immediately told me how thorough she was going to be and she was. Very friendly and easy to talk to. She explained her process which made me feel secure in my choice. I highly recommend going to her! If you're reading this, Kim, thank you for making me feel beautiful!


Feb 06, 2024

Kimberly always does an amazing job on my hair. I have very thick and long hair, she goes above and beyond to make it stunning every time. She is super nice and will make you feel right at home. Go and see her, you won't regret it.


Feb 06, 2024

My third time seeing Kimberly and she is wonderful! Takes the time to understand what the customer (me) wants and even if my requirements are vague or have questions, it doesn't matter - she's been doing this for so long and provides suggestions and her advice. She's intentional with what products she uses and why and has earned my complete trust! High quality work. She's very relatable and quite the conversationalist which is fun.


Feb 06, 2023

I went here to hopefully to have my hair donated seeing as it was fairly long, had it for years and with a bald spot appearing, decided it was time to cut off the dream and face reality. She was incredibly kind, amazing personality and comforting during the experience. Although a simple buzz on my end, her client beforehand looked phenomenal as well. Genuinely, give this place a shot and you will not regret it.


Feb 06, 2023

Kim is awesome at what she does! Kind, super easy to talk to, and always answers any questions I have. I leave her chair feeling beautiful and she cuts my hair in a way to where it looks GOOD when I do it myself aka wash-and-go.


Feb 06, 2023

Kimberly is amazing and is passionate in what she does!!! She did the best balayage highlights for my wedding day which looked perfect. I recommend her 110% !!!!!!


Feb 06, 2023

Kimberly is the best! I am always nervous trying a new place and she put all my nerves at ease. She gave me beautiful highlights and root smudge so it can grow out naturally. She also gave me a killer money piece with layered curtain bangs. Definitely recommend Live Free Hair Studio!


Feb 06, 2022

Every time I leave Kim’s salon my hair looks and feels AMAZING! She is such a sweet and professional stylist that always makes you feel so comfortable in her salon. Highly, highly, highly recommend!


Feb 06, 2022

I have been coming to Kimberly for the entire 3 years that I have lived here. I took a chance one day and have not once regretted it! I don’t trust anybody else with my hair. She has saved my hair from various self box dyes and never pushed my hair farther than it can handle. She is also incredibly sweet, professional and a joy to spend 3 hours with! I highly recommend her to everyone I meet.


Feb 06, 2022

I have been going to Kim for over 3 years and would trust no one else in the Austin area! Kim has years of experience and is now running her business with class and professionalism. I recommend Kim to everyone, and have gotten lots of compliments on my hair over the years!!


Feb 06, 2022

I have been searching for the perfect hair stylist in Austin for over a year now and I finally found her! Kim is so kind and worked magic on my hair. She listened to me and gave me exactly what I asked for! She truly went above and beyond to work with some seriously outgrown roots and turned it into a perfectly blended blonde look! She has fair pricing for quality work that left me feeling beautiful, confident and blonde!


Feb 06, 2022

I love going to see Kim, she is super friendly and easy to talk to. She always gets my hair exactly how I want it! She turned my very dark hair into beautiful blonde. I can not recommend her enough!


Feb 06, 2022

If you are a blonde, you know how hard it is to find a good colorist. Kim is not only a professional in every sense of the word, but her color is SPOT ON. She understands how to layer the color and highlight for the most natural tones, even if your hair is predominantly gray or dark. The products she uses are so good for your hair and she never going to talk you into an unflattering cut or a product you don't need. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Run, don't walk, to this little salon with the big personality.


Feb 06, 2022

Kim is fabulous! Not only was she was incredibly fun to hang out with during my 5 hour balayage and haircut session, I am in LOVE my hair 😍 Definitley found my go to stylist!


Feb 06, 2022

Kimberly did an amazing job! I highly recommend her.


Feb 06, 2022

Kimberly is amazing. I had my hair kind of destroyed by another stylist who made my hair brassy, unevenly cut and unblended. I went to Kimberly and through all the damage that had been done to my hair, Kimberly gave me EXACTLY what i originally wanted. Ive never been with a stylist so talented, professional or compassionate. You won't regret seeing her. Before and after pics posted below!!


Feb 06, 2022

Super friendly and so genuine! I always get so anxious for haircuts but she did such a good job, and was so fun to talk to! Highly highly recommend ❤️‍🔥


Feb 06, 2021

HAIR GODDESS! A true artist you can trust to trim and freshen or go BOLD. Super knowledgeable about hair color, skin pigmentation, facial structure ((she won't let you do your idea you saw on IG if it's not meant for your face/hair)) Works with your budget while building your confidence to unlimited heights wicked cool vibes. 10/10


Feb 06, 2021

I am SO glad that I found Kimberly when I moved back to the Austin area. I have been going to Kimberly for over 3 years and could not say enough positive things about her. She is a GENIUS at hair color and by far the best stylist I’ve ever been too. I have really long hair that takes forever to color and cut and she has always been amazing at getting me scheduled even when it is really short notice. She is also so personable and easy to talk to which makes my long appointments fun! Kimberly takes the time to do an incredible job and really cares about her work. I would highly recommend Live Free Hair Studio to anyone looking for a new stylist. You will not be disappointed!


Feb 06, 2021

Kimberly is an absolute gem! She is reasonable and does a phenomenal job everytime on my hair! She is my go to for baylage and cut and always leaves me feeling beautiful. I highly recommend!

Kimberly is an amazing stylist/colorist. I'm new to the Austin area, and I'm very fortunate to find such a great hair professional.
