Good hair starts with an honest plan.

I built Bodega Beauty NY for the client who wants real answers before another expensive appointment. We start with what your hair can handle, what you want to maintain and how you actually live.

Start before you sit

Meet me on video first.

If you are considering extensions, color, smoothing or restoration but need clarity before coming in, start with a private FaceTime or video consultation. We will talk through your current hair, your goal, your budget and the upkeep—without rushing through an appointment.

You’ll leave knowing which in-person service or consultation makes sense—before spending more.

The service menu

Start with what
your hair needs.

The menu is organized by what you want to do: consult, smooth, extend, maintain, color or restore. If you are unsure, book the free 10-minute check-in and I’ll point you in the right direction.

K-Tips + custom extensions

The blend should look effortless. The work isn’t.

K-tips are placed strand by strand, but the real work starts before installation: choosing the right method, matching the texture and color, and protecting the hair you already have.

  • Your method is chosen after a real consultation
  • Color, density and placement are customized
  • Your natural hair sets the limit—not the trend
  • You know the maintenance plan before we install

Selected work

Color, texture and technique.

Real clients. Thoughtful placement. Finishes designed to look as good in real life as they do in the chair.

Kimberly Davidson

“I’m not here to sell you the longest appointment. I’m here to help you make the right decision for your hair.”

I’m Kim: a licensed cosmetologist, educator and the founder of Bodega Beauty NY. After more than two decades in beauty, leadership and training, I know the technical work matters—but so does telling the truth, listening closely and making sure you understand the plan.

I was raised in Queens and built my home in Houston. Bodega Beauty NY brings those two parts of me together: direct, warm, culturally aware and serious about healthy hair.
