“When I moved to New York, you’d joke that I had to come back, saying some girls are just too pretty for six flights of stairs. And no matter where I lived in my 20s or 30s, I always flew back to Kim. Always. You were my sense of home, my constant, my reset button. When life pulled me back to LA, I found my way right back to you and your amazingly talented team… right where I belonged.

“Kim, you changed my life.

“I still remember walking into your beautiful salon at the Montage in Beverly Hills in 2012. I’d had fuzzy black hair for so long, but I was craving change.

“ I wanted something lighter, something more lively that reflected my personality. You saw it before I could say it. You took me lighter, added layers, and somehow… everything changed for me.

“I remember looking into the mirror after the color and cut, and almost crying. I was seeing myself differently, for the first time. That moment changed the trajectory of my life and my career.

“You’ve been family ever since. Thank you for all the love, care, belief, and magic you’ve poured into me over the years.”
