In Fall 2006, Khamit Kinks
moved from Manhattan
to return to its Brooklyn roots, completing a circular journey begun in
1989,
when it first opened in a Brooklyn
brownstone.
By 1996 the business had outgrown that shop and moved to TriBeCa, where
it
thrived for a decade. The salon has as a roster of loyal clients and
high-profile devotees. Celebrity clients have included Stevie Wonder,
Oprah
Winfrey, Terry McMillan, Angela Bassett, Lenny Kravitz, Queen Latifah
and many others.
New
clients also routinely book appointments from Japan,
England,
the Caribbean and
other places across the globe.
The salon also introduced
several popular styles, including
Casamas Braids, Senegalese Twists, Goddess Braids, Cherokee, Trini
Braids, Baby
Curl Twist and the list goes on. Khamit Kinks’ styles have graced the
front
page of The New York Times and the covers and pages of Essence Magazine
and
many industry publications. The salon has provided stylist services for
films
and fashion shows and has been featured on The View, Queer Eye for the
Straight
Guy and other TV shows, including network and other news programs on
NY-1, CNN,
FOX-5 and TV Japan.
In the beginning of her
career Anu created a line of
all-natural hair oils and which later included body products to rave
reviews.
Interested not only in healthy hair, Anu has been committed to a
healthy
lifestyle for over twenty years. As a Certified Hatha Yoga Instructor,
Anu
makes a concerted effort to encourage both staff and clients to
practice
healthy eating and living habits for a healthy life and healthy hair.
