STYLISTS
OWNER | EDUCATOR | MENTOR
Level 4 Stylist
After landing in the RGV from Austin just a few years ago, Kim Litavec discovered she was bringing some really needed specialty training to the area for years working, managing, and teaching at many salons in the big city. Since living here, she frequently travels to continue to study, learn the latest techniques, and bring them back home. She holds many different hair coloring and hair cutting certifications, and is always working to be better each day. She has held herself to the highest standards and has been driven to be the best for the last 20 years.
Kim enjoys living in Edinburg with her husband, Eddie, and their Akita, Sumo. They try to do as many dog friendly activities and often frequent South Padre Island. They enjoy grilling food on the sand while soaking up the ocean air. Kim’s passions include jogging, yoga, travel, wine, and eating healthy (well sometimes). Her biggest passion is teaching her team and sharing everything she knows with them, because the art of hair is her biggest joy.

MEET KIM
I appreciated the attention to detail at my first cut at this salon, from the observation of tilt of my head, where I parted my hair, how my hair dried naturally, where my hair was more wavy at the bottom versus the top, etc. Wow! Appreciated the care and attention that Kim showed, and love my new haircut!
