Backpacks, Pencils, and Possibility: Join Kenneth’s in Supporting Local Students

At Kenneth’s, we believe beauty is more than skin deep; it’s found in the way we lift up others and give back to the communities we love.

BOOK APPOINTMENT NOW

As a new school year approaches, many local families face the rising costs of essential school supplies. While schools do everything they can to support their students, many are still left without the basics that make a difference, like notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and markers. These aren't luxuries. They’re the building blocks of confidence, learning, and opportunity.

That’s why we’re proud to launch our 2026 Back-to-School Supply Drive, continuing a tradition of compassion and community. Last year, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our clients and team members, we collected over 2,000+ school supply items to distribute to Central Ohio schools. This year, we’re aiming even higher.

How You Can Help Image

We’ve made it easy for you to participate in whatever way feels best:

Every pencil, folder, and backpack you donate helps ease the burden on local families and makes sure students can return to school prepared and proud.

Let’s make this school year brighter for every child. Thank you for helping us give back, because when we support education, we support the future.

And as always, if you’d like to schedule a service while you’re in the giving spirit, you can book online at kenneths.com or give us a call at 614-538-5800. We’d love to see you.

What Our Customers Are Saying...
Karen Geist
I recently had my hair cut with Molly and I am very happy with the result. She took the time to advise me on how to make changes now to best grow into a new style that I want. The final result was very close to the picture that I brought in to show to my stylist. I loved the fact that Molly didn't talk while she was at work cutting my hair. She only asked pertinent questions regarding my desires and answered all questions that I had for her. The one question that I did ask her was how much longer did she have at the Academy, and she replied that she would continue through the end of October. So quick, book an appointment now at the Academy, or visit her when she becomes part of the team at the Kingsdale location Nov 1. I know that's where I will be going for my next haircut. Thanks Molly!

I had the pleasure of scheduling a keratin treatment with Jane at the Academy. She was so professional and my hair turned out exactly as I hoped. Jane gave the best shampoo and rinse prior to the treatment. The entire appointment was so relaxing! Highly recommend, and if you think that a keratin treatment is cost prohibitive then even more reason to go to the Academy. I was able to schedule the experience for a fraction of the price! I will definitely return!
