Kim Tuyen Nguyen has been specializing in color, haircuts, updos, perms and hair straightening for the past seven years.

“The creative and artistic aspect of doing hair is my passion,” says Kim. “Making clients happy gives me great satisfaction.”

Kim’s favorite products are Redken Headplay 12 Pliable Working Spray and Hardwear 16 Maximum Control Gel.

“These work best on normal to coarse hair, especially when hair is worn curly,” Kim advises. “Use about a dime-size amount of Hardwear gel from root to ends, flip hair over, spray Headplay and diffuse with medium heat. You will have beautiful curly hair with lots of volume!”
