Kim Downing, Owner

I started my career in the beauty industry 1975 and I have dedicated most of my life to this amazing business. I have always had a great passion for all aspects of the industry, from working with hair design and color to working with the texture of the hair. I did not limit myself to just hair; my passion expanded into body work as well. Training in skin care, waxing and nail care were part of my growth as a professional cosmetologist and esthetician. Opening Design One Salon & Spa in 1991 became a dream come true for me. I have built the company with hard work and dedication. Retiring from styling hair in 2007 I was able to focus on mentoring and promoting this amazing team of stylists, estheticians, massage therapists, nail artists, and salon coordinators. I couldn’t be more proud of the team I have. I want to ensures that every guest that visits Design One will love our professional, well trained team, as our goal is not to meet their expectations but to exceed them.
