 Tranetta LaSha Summerlin best known as Sha’ (pronounced Shay) is the CEO/Creative Director of the Primp Agency, the premier and innovative boutique-size style agency representing highly skilled and creatively fresh hair designers, make up artists and fashion stylists...otherwise known as our Primp Squad.
The Primp Agency will celebrate its third year anniversary in February 2012. It’s nothing short of amazing how successful the agency has become since Sha’ sat down with a group of her close friends in the beginning of 2009 and shared her vision of the new business she wanted to start.
In less than three years, the Primp Agency boasts of credits from being the Official Glam Squad of Miss Black USA Pageant 2011 to servicing such celebrities as Boris Kodjoe, Vanessa A. Williams, Elder Bernice King and Nicole Ari Parker, as well as providing services for high profile events like Couture Fashion Week, Africa Fashion Week~New York, Project Runway designers and various awards shows.
The Primp Agency’s success is based on the “over the top” talented and experienced staff that make up her Primp Squad, but the Primp Agency would definitely not be what it is today if wasn’t for Sha’ at the helm.
Being from a small town called Enterprise, Alabama and spending her formative years in York, Pennsylvania she considers herself to be a “citified country girl”. She has been a creative mind since she was a small child, always doodling her designs and ideas. She fell in love with performing as a child as well after being asked to perform a solo as a member of her church’s choir. The Primp Agency idea was born after years of trying to figure out how to join both worlds of her two passions, beauty and entertainment. She has been a hair stylist, make-up artist, professional singer, actress, model and the owner of a salon.

 Kimberly Kimble is truly a dream girl! As a third generation hair stylist, Kimberly has learned from the best, her mother, Jasmine Kimble, and two grandmothers, Lynette Murray and Astra Payne.
Whether she is creating a red carpet glam look, sexy sleek, or an era tribute, her seemingly effortless ability to fashion such diverse styles established her reputation as a style-maker with a limitless and multi-faceted talent.
“My grandmother taught me the importance of hair health. She was a nutritionist and knew all of the natural remedies to grow hair and keep it healthy, and my mother was great at styling hair and taught me the world of hairstyling” Kimberly proudly stated.
Pushed into the business as a shampoo girl in her mom’s shop, she was drawn to the art and skill involved in hairstyling and soon realized her need to create with her hands.
Her natural affinity as an artist gave Kimberly a unique edge that sets her apart from other stylists.
Kimberly was formally trained at the Universal College of Beauty of Los Angeles in Leimert Park, Culver City College of Beauty, Vidal Sassoon Academy, and Dudley Cosmetology University in North Carolina.
Kimberly has honed her style and techniques through multiple generations of guidance and love, along with her passion for healthy hair and great style.
This passion lead to the development of Kimble Hair Care, her hair care line, which evolved from the secret recipes of her beloved grandmothers and mother.
Through her experience working on film and television, she realized a need for styling products that would allow her to style hair that had endured the long hours of filming and to keep it looking fresh and healthy. Kimberly’s latest development is a hair product line called “KIMBLE HAIR CARE SYSTEMS,” a full line of shampoos, conditioners, scalp treatments, styling products, pomades & hair/body soaps for both men and women. |
