Kimberly Kimble Stars in New Reality Show "L.A. Hair"


Kim Kimble is the go-to stylist for A-List celebrities when they need a red carpet coif or an emergency "do."

In her new series L.A. HAIR, premiering Thursday, May 31 at a special time 10 PM ET/PT with eight, one-hour episodes, viewers follow Kim as she manages her team of talented, yet high-strung stylists - including her mother Jasmine - as they make over Hollywood's elite, one strand at a time.

Working in close quarters proves intense for her staff as they often bicker and joke like family yet struggle to meet Kim's standards of professionalism.

Divas Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Laila Ali, Garcelle Beavais, Omarosa, Mary Mary, Kym Whitley, Mikki Taylor, Shari Headley and Kim's other bold-face named clients are featured in the series.


Kim's salon "family" are her stylists Angela, Dontay, Terry, China, mom Jasmine, as well as Kim's assistant Anthony and receptionist Charity.

Throughout the season, Kim finds herself questioning the commitment of some of her stylists, including an overly-eager Angela who goes behind Kim's back in attempt to steal her clients; the sassy China who is so dramatic it drives Kim nuts; and her assistant Anthony, who doesn't seem to know where his loyalties should be. Add to the mix Kim's headstrong mom Jasmine who has her own ideas on how the salon should be operated and you've got the perfect recipe for drama.

If that isn't enough to make her head spin, Kim's lease expires before her new salon is finished, forcing her to find another space before she and her stylists are evicted. As the heart and soul of the operation, Kim spends her days juggling her vast celebrity clientele and growing a business in addition to carving out time for her personal life. But her biggest challenge may be dealing with the sometimes inflated egos of her staff - that's when the competition behind the chair becomes fierce and the scissors come out.


After the premiere, new episodes of L.A. HAIR will air in its regular timeslot Thursdays at 9 PM ET/PT (beginning June 7).

Beauty and the Beat Product Review - Black Up! Summer Lip Collection


Black Up! Cosmetics, a French line for women of color, has expanded recently into the U.S. online, and has some amazing new lip colors just in time for summer.

RAL 29, RAL 30 and RAL 31 are a bright, fun: pink, red and orange-y/red that have a nice sheer finish. I liked that I could apply more for a brighter look, or create a just sheer bright wash with just one layer.

These lipsticks are creamy, smooth and best of all very hydrating all day long. They feel a bit like a balm, but give the benefits of a lipstick with added shine. I suggest you stock up on all three! - RLB
