ABOUT Me

I’m Kim, and I’m the human behind May the Hair Be with You!

I’m originally from a beach town off the Treasure Coast of Florida, but I’ve made Orlando my heart and home since 2009. It’s pretty obvious that I’m a major geek, based off my business name alone… so I’m all for conversations about spooky stuff, history, theatre, and many types of fandoms (like Harry Potter). I have an amazing daughter, who is only giving me a taste of my own medicine, but I love her for it. When I’m not slinging color, I enjoy going to concerts/shows, starting and abandoning crafty hobbies, trying new places to eat, working out (sometimes), and doing anything that brings my mind peace.

After being a theatre major, then a psych major, then studying ASL, I finally stopped going to college, and did something with my life! I went to hair school. Theatre has always been the driving force behind my motivation towards the beauty industry, however I fell head over heels in love with hair, and I never looked back. I’ve been in the industry since 2013, and graduated from the Aveda Institute in Winter Park, FL. From there, I worked in a couple salons before settling down in that cute little home turned salon near Downtown Orlando; where my skills and career blossomed for close to 8 years.

Now, I have taken the next leap as a seasoned hairdresser, and will work independently, so I can create the best work/life balance for myself and my family. I am inspired to grow even more, invest in my education, and provide an experience that is genuine.

Mission

The mission within MTHBWY is to create and collaborate on a customized hair experience that will also give you a safe space to respectfully, be your authentic self. I strive for integrity, authenticity, and consistency.

Core Values

Just like the force in Star Wars, I am very attuned to the energy that moves through and surrounds every living thing. I state this because it is my core belief that through your hair, and collaborating together, we can guide you closer to feeling at one with yourself and your hair.

MTHBWY will be a safe space for your feelings, thoughts, and to respectfully be yourself.

Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous people have HEALTHY hair, therefore maintaining the integrity of your biggest accessory is priority number one when it comes to any chemicals coming near your beautiful head.

I believe that humans are always growing and learning and choose to apply that concept into my career and in the work I create.

Expressing yourself through your appearance aids in feeling like your true self. This could mean a natural lived-in color, your usual haircut, or through vivid colors and bold cuts; you feeling comfortable in your own hair brings the soul, and myself joy.
