Anonymous by design
KIM never identifies an individual salon, stylist or client. Partner data is aggregated before it is reported, and only performance metrics are ever shared.
KIM universe
Every salon business connected through our partners. It supports views that need a larger sample, like KIM Regional.
KIM Panel
More than 10,700 salons with complete, consistent transaction data, weighted to match the U.S. salon population by size.
