Conversations with Kimberly Gurrea

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimberly Gurrea

Hi Kimberly, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My dad died when I was 15 and my mom had to work very hard as a teacher and in many other side jobs in order to provide me food and clothing. I don’t have brothers or sisters so I’m the only child and I worked for over 10 years in the food industry as a hostess then server and finally manager to help my mom financially. I always had a dream to have my own business and I turned this passion of doing her into a career.
I decided to go quit as a manager and come back as a server in order to have time to go to cosmetology school (Tony&guy) since we didn’t have money to pay school i was working during the evenings as a server and going from 8 to 5 school.
It was a lot of effort but I loved doing hair more and more .
I got the achievement as the most clients request during the school period and I graduated with honors.
When I graduated I quit as a server and started to work as an assistant at Umberto salon in Beverly Hills and I leaned a lot and in some others salon but I always wanted to have my own studio so I decided to take the risk and do it .
I love seeing my clients happy after every haircut or color that i do on them.
My passion is to make them feel their best after every appointment.
I want to change lives one haircut at a time .
