I truly cannot say enough good things about Kim and her expertise in hair extensions! I have wanted extensions for years and when I finally did it, I promised myself that in 10 weeks, when I was set to have them maintained, I would do a review so that newbies to extensions like me, could have the cold hard facts. So here there are! Also, I took pics from beginning to end but you have to click on the pics to read the captions (week 2, week 6, etc, etc.) My hair type: Thin and fine, shoulder length, platinum blonde 1. INITIAL APPOINTMENT TO GET THEM DONE: Kim was quick and wonderful and really educated me on the proper care and maintenance. She is an expert in her field and it shows. I was given a goody bag of shampoo and conditioner (which I LOVE) as well as a Wet brush and polishing oil to keep the extensions looking their best. The finished product was fantastic! They looked gorgeous and natural! From the color matching to my own hair to the length, I was so pleased. (see pic) 2. GETTING USED TO THEM: I do everything in my extensions that I did without them; swim, drive with the windows down, put my hair up, curl it, straighten it, crimp it, wear it wet, blow it dry; whatever. Personally I found them very easy. I did the 16' extensions with tape. I don't find them hotter or heavier than my normal hair would be at this length and they are really comfortable. I can brush my hair and run my fingers through it very naturally. The only time I noticed tangling was at the very base of my neck and even that wasn't a big deal. 3. HOW LONG DO THEY STAY NICE? They definitely look their best the first month. Today I'm at two and a half months and I'm still really happy with them. (see pics) I definitely notice the tape a little bit more and it's a little trickier to blend if I'm wearing my hair up but mostly, they look just as beautiful as the day I had them done. I continue to receive compliments from everyone and all of my friends want them now, lol. 4. DO THEY FALL OUT ALL THE TIME? No. The first one I lost was at about 8 weeks. The few that I did lose (mostly when I was just out of the shower and was blowdrying my hair thereafter) made basically no difference. I really couldn't tell. With that said, Kim let me know that she's happy to put them in if they do fall out. Over the course of 10 weeks I've only lost 4. I personally just put them aside and will take them to my next appointment when we do maintenance simply because as I said, I can't even tell that any are missing. 5. WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OUT, DO YOU LOSE ALL OF YOUR OWN HAIR? Nope. This was my biggest fear because I have such fine, thin hair to begin with. As you can see from the pictures, my own hair looks great after taking them out. I wanted to show you the proof of limited hair loss I did have, again, just because I think it's nice to know as a newbie. All in all I just have absolutely loved having extensions by Kim and only wish I'd done them sooner! Jessecca S. of Bend, OR

Overall Excellent I have been a client of Kim Wardle's for nearly a year now. In my 20's my hair began thinning and became very fine. I was upset, too young to accept what was happening to my hair and wanted it back! I began looking for salons that offered extensions but I didn't know where to go or who to trust with what little hair I had left. I found Kim's website and loved her work. Her website displays a lot of her work, unlike other salon websites that just show one or two pictures of a hair model, these were real people, her clients, and I liked that. So I made the consult appointment, which is free, I figure no risk but my time : ) Within minutes of meeting Kim I knew she was what I had been looking for. She looked at my hair and knew right away which method would be best and explained to me not only the initial cost of placement but the maintaince cost and how often. I loved that she was upfront about that, other places I had talked to were not very honest about the maintaince aspect of having hair extensions, both cost and products to make sure your hair stays in great condition. In just a few hours Kim transformed my hair into something of wonder, it was almost like a fairy tale. I felt like a princess that had just been transformed by a magical spell. And that is closer to the truth than not, Kim's work is magical, I was thrilled beyond belief with my hair, and one year later I am still just as estatic! Kim knows what she is doing, she cares about what you want, and she wants you to be happy with your hair. She is very educated in her trade and stays up to date on new products and techniques within the industry. One of the best parts is that no one can tell I have hair extensions. Obviously people who see me every day knew something was very different but they didn't know what I had done! My mother in law who used to be a hair dresser now routinely askes me if I am still wearing the entensions, she can't even tell they are there. Kim will color match perfectly and her application technique is absolutly flawless. If you are considering hair extensions, please go see Kim, you will be so happy you did! Her salon is clean and stylish and Kim is a sweetheart! So much to say, I know long review, but I really can't say enough about Kim or her services. Just go see her!

I had long black hair for years, went to a really expensive salon and the women damaged my hair so bad! It was falling out and it's so short. I went to Kim Wardle and she gave me back my hair and self esteem. My hair looks so wonderful that my husband tells me It looks like MY hair. I didn't know anything about hair extensions and Kim is amazing. She also colors and cuts my hair. She has such an awesome personality and is so funny! She has a private shop, it's so nice to be able to have your hair done without 50 people next to you! Customer forever!!

Five Stars: AMAZING. I was a little scared to get it done but Kim was so amazing. She is a perfectionist and I felt totally comfortable. I LOVE my hair. My husband can't keep his hands out of it ;-) He said he would have paid double he likes it so much. I had choppy layered look and was worried about the blending but it looks just like my natural hair. Styling it is even easier then with my shorter hair. I can wear it curly or straight within minutes. I cannot say enough how much I love my hair and love Kim's work. I would recommend her to anybody. - Anne Roberts Posted on 05/24/11

Five Stars: Posted on 03/29/11 I had been looking into hair extensions for a while now and doing my homework on cost, damage, etc... Then one day I came upon Kim Wardle's website and set up a free consultation, Which went great she made me feel comfortable about the process, so I made an appointment that day. I have now had them in for six months and love them I have already tryed out three different lengths. If anyone is interested or wanting hair extensions Kim is a must go to. Oh yeah I forgot to say after three months I had a move up (is where they take them out and move up) and my natural hair was long thicker and healthier so needless to say there was no new damage which is a definate plus!

I have wanted hair extensions for over a year and did quite a bit of research prior to choosing Kim for a consultation. She was very accommodating in getting me in for a free consultation and I appreciated her candidness when talking about price and expectations of extensions. I have had mine now for 1.5 months and I couldn't be happier with them! Everyone that knows me compliments me on how good they look and how natural they blend into my normal hair. I am hooked! Even some of my co-workers comment on my fabulous 'Kardashian' hair. I have gone swimming with them, paddle boarding, etc and even my 2 year old has pulled on them and they haven't even dared to come loose. I do not think I could ever go back now that I have them. Kim is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone who wants high quality extensions. I plan on having them raised up again at the 10-12 week mark and maybe adding in some ombre highlights. - Jamie Z.

Five Stars! Posted on 6/3/13. I have had thin, fine hair my entire life. I was always looking for ways to make my hair appear thicker and nothing seemed to work. Then I found Hair Extensions By Kim and everything changed! For the first time in my ever, I have thick full hair and it looks totally natural. The hair is also really easy to take care of and blends in easily with my own hair. Kim also does a fantastic job at color! I am a client for life! -Jackie C., Portland, OR

Hand Tied Weft Application/Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) and Tape In Extensions: I have been a client of Kim's for three years now and she is honestly THE BEST your time and money can buy! She is highly skilled, integrity driven and really aims to please! She always uses high quality products and seamless applications and her prices are competitive. Her goal is to provide an upscale, quality experience without the outrageous prices and low quality we see from others in the hair industry. I've searched high and low and even drive from Bend, OR to Kim simply because I love and trust her work so much! I've been wearing tape in extensions for the past three years from her (see review 'Jessecca S. from 6/30/2017) and I just love them so much! I've taken up swimming/steam room and haven't been as good about blow drying my hair so I thought it would be good to give the hand tied weft application with the natural beaded rows a try this time. And wow!! I am loving them! Kim did an amazing job to make sure they were well positioned so that they blend in really lovely with my natural (short) hair. She colored my hair accordingly to the extensions (I went to a warmer blonde). And she made sure that even with my thin hair, she didn't apply them too tight to where they hurt. As with any new extensions or a 'move up' it takes a few days getting used to the feeling. I was very worried with the beads that they would be uncomfortable, especially when I was sleeping. But that's not the case at all! I am so happy with them! Like the tape ins there is an ease to them and they look so natural. I receive so many compliments! What I like about the NBR compared to the tape ins is that they feel a bit more secure (especially with me swimming so much). This is yet another home run! Thank you Kim!! JS, Oregon

I absolutely love my new hair. Its been almost 3 mos now. I don t think I will ever go back to my very fine, thin natural hair. My real hair refused to grow past a certain point. I had been trying for over 8 yrs to grow it past my bra line. It just stopped there. I get so many compliments now, no one knows it s not all my own hair, it looks so real and natural. I absolutely love it! Kim was a pro at installing the extensions, and very knowledgeable too. I will continue to go back for my hair extensions. - Tina

5 stars - Posted on 4/6/15: Our family moved here from AZ two years ago. I needed to find a new Salon. My husband who is a eye doctor found Kim Wardle's hair salon, and we set up a consultation to meet her. My husband and I thought she was just amazing with her knowledge of hair. I was really impressed of what she could do, and how long she had been doing hair. I have been going to her now for two years and just love her and the salon. She works wonders on my thin, fine, hair! I am 52 years young and look like I am in my 30's with my hair. I can't say enough about her. My hair is beautiful, and people can't believe I am wearing extensions. She also does my color, and I feel she is the best colorist I have ever had. I like a red/Auburn color, and she matches my hair with the extensions, and it looks so natural. I get complements all the time, and at 52, that feels real nice! If your looking for extensions, Kim Wardle knows her stuff. I am so happy my husband found her. Terry T., Vancouver, WA

I have always suffered with thin, short non growing hair and always wanted hair extensions for the longest time. Finally after some research and looking around I scheduled my free consult with Kim. She is the easiest to talk to. We discussed all my options and I decided on getting them. End results were spectacular I LOVE my new hair!! She is definitely best at what she does! Everyone thinks that my extension's are my natural hair. I always get compliments even from my dad Inlaw that is a hair dresser. Now over a year later i will never go without them. I Highly recommend her! Can never wait for my next hair day with kim Thank u Kim! Mariah H. Gresham, OR

Five Stars I impulsively cut my hair off and went to Kim because I missed my long hair. Kim did an awesome job it was worth every cent. My hair looks way better than it did before I cut it. Nobody even knows I have extensions and I get frequent compliments on my hair. - Heat Posted on 10/02/12

Quality Excellent I wanted to try a new hair extension system, so I made a few phone calls and booked a consultation with Kim. She said that she has the same kind hair as mine and she knew what would look good on me. Well, she was right! After the color, strengthening treatment, and installation of hair, I looked and felt fabulous! If you're thinking of trying extensions, give her a call. She can tell you realistically what it will cost to buy and maintain your long hair - and, best of all, she is easy to talk to, which is priceless. - Jill Headen, Portland, OR.

Five Stars: I love my extensions from Kim. She did an amazing job! they look completely natural and blend so well with my own hair. I was nervous about getting them, but she put me at ease and was very informative. I would totally recommend her. - Michelle Snyder Posted on 07/12/11

If you are unhappy with your hair, you need to see Kim! My natural hair is fine, curly hair and I don't have much of it. It is impossible to wear down. I was skeptical that extensions would work for me but Kim promised she could make me look fabulous and no one would know I had them. She delivered on that promise. I now have long, thick, beautiful hair. I get compliments all the time. Melanie A. Beaverton, OR

I have been looking for a place to get extensions for a while. I was set on getting the beaded ones and when I went in for my consultation, she showed me what the beaded ones vs the tape in ones would like. Tape ins were much more comfortable and surprisingly didn't show at all. She steered me in the right direction. She color matched my hair perfectly with two tones and then I came in a week later and she put them in! She is amazing and did a beautiful job! She is very passionate about what she does and it shows! She is very fun to talk to as well while you are getting your hair done! I would recommend her 10 times over, she is amazing! Monique C.

I did quite a bit of research into getting extensions before making my decision. I'm very happy with my decision to go with Kim Wardle. I had fairly short hair so I knew it would be a challenge but she did an awesome job! I absolutely LOVE them!!! I highly recommend her to anyone interested in getting extensions. I've seen people I haven't seen in years and they had no idea I had extensions. Thank you Kim for giving me such gorgeous hair again! - Danielle D.
