The first Kimarie Salon and Academy was established in Singapore in 1979. In 1982, we expanded our operations to Kuala Lumpur to cater to the increasing interests in the ever-expanding hairdressing industry. Throughout the years, we have made a profound impact in the hairdressing world as a renowned and well-respected institution that has made a great contribution towards the modernization and evolution of the hair industry. Today, the company has four academies and ten salons in Malaysia and Singapore and employs more than 200 hairstylists and administrative staff.

Over the years, Kimarie has won numerous awards in hairdressing. In 2011, Kimarie won the ‘Best Hair Salon’ award in The Malaysian Spa & Services Awards while in 2010, New Straits Times voted Kimarie as one of the top 3 hair salons in Central Malaysia. Kimarie also took home the Wella Trend Vision Awards for Regional and Theme categories and was the overall Champion of the MYSKILL Competition organized by the Department of Skill Development of Malaysia. Graduates from Kimarie Hair Academy have gone on to achieve great things in the hairdressing industry, from winning the Wella Freestyle Competition to bagging the prestigious L'Oreal Colour Trophy. They've became some of the most well-known stylists in Malaysia, opened their own equally well-known salons and won numerous hairdressing awards. To date, our Academy has trained and graduated tens of thousands of hairstylists around the country and Singapore.

We are proud to be the first and only salons and schools in Malaysia to be awarded the ISO9001:2000 certification by National Quality Assurance Limited. Kimarie Academy is accredited by JPK (Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran) and IPD-Open University Malaysia.
