Stylist & Colorist

Kimberly Cruz

Kim’s passion for hair began at an early age, leading her to complete her cosmetology program while still in high school. She went on to apprentice with master stylists on Newbury Street, where she spent several years refining her expertise in advanced color techniques such as balayage, hand-painting, and foiling.

Over the past 7 years at Salon 10, Kim has continued to grow her craft, expanding beyond traditional hair services into specialized wig styling. Starting as a blank slate early in her career, she developed a strong skill set in cutting and coloring wigs, and finds genuine joy in helping clients look and feel like themselves. She especially values the personal connections she builds with each person who sits in her chair.

In addition to her work behind the chair, Kim has a passion for scalp care and is dedicated to staying current with the latest trends and techniques to provide healthy, personalized results for every client.

Outside of the salon, Kim is a proud mom and also holds an associate degree in accounting—a fun fact that reflects her drive and dedication both inside and outside her career.
