Soft Gel Extensions (Gel X)

Soft Gel Extensions

If you have a big event coming up—think Spring Break getaways, prom nights, or graduation celebrations—look no further than Soft Gel Extensions (Gel X). These aren’t your average nail extensions! Gel X is a new-generation service that offers a lightweight, natural feel without compromising on durability.

  • Natural Appearance: Unlike traditional acrylics, Gel X has a sleek, more flexible design that mimics the look of natural nails.
  • Gentle on Nails: They’re less damaging than other enhancement methods because they’re designed to reduce excessive filing and use of harsh chemicals.
  • Quick Application & Removal: The unique bonding process makes for a faster service compared to older techniques, meaning less time in the chair and a smoother, more comfortable experience.

Our skilled nail technicians customize your Soft Gel Extensions to your desired length and shape, then finish them off with a polish or design that complements your personal style—perfect for all your spring photo ops!

Ultimate Hydrating Mani & Pedi

Who doesn’t want soft, smooth hands and feet as we finally shake off those winter blues? The Ultimate Hydrating Mani & Pedi at Kenneth’s is your ticket to relief from dryness and dull skin.

  • Hydrating Sugar Scrub: We start by gently exfoliating to remove dead skin cells, leaving your hands and feet feeling baby-soft and polished.
  • Moisturizing Paraffin Treatment: Our warm paraffin wax application seals in moisture, helping to replenish your skin and improve elasticity.
  • Professional Grooming & Finishing: Our technicians shape your nails, care for cuticles, and finish with the polish or buffing of your choice.

This service feels as indulgent as it sounds, making it the ideal way to rejuvenate tired winter skin just in time for open-toed shoes and sunny days.

Chrome for a Pop of Sparkle

For the trendsetters who love to shine, Chrome nails are here to captivate. Chrome manicures are an ongoing favorite and continue to steal the show this spring. They offer a mirror-like, metallic finish that can range from subtle shimmer to a more dramatic, high-impact gleam.

  • Versatile Accent: Add a chrome accent nail for a pop of sparkle or go for a full set for maximum glam.
  • Color Combinations: Chrome powder can be applied over virtually any polish shade—think delicate pastels or bold brights—to create a mesmerizing, iridescent effect.
  • Mix & Match: Pair chrome nails with nail art techniques like French tips or geometric accents for a look that’s all yours.

At Kenneth’s, our nail professionals know exactly how to apply chrome finishes to get that flawless, reflective shine. If you’re looking for a trend that effortlessly elevates any outfit, chrome is the answer.

Nail Art & Fun, Personalized Designs

  • Custom Embellishments: Make a statement with crystals, charms, or even 3D elements that truly stand out.
  • Mix & Match: Combine your favorite designs or opt for a playful accent nail to personalize your overall look.

Jessica M
I come from Indiana to get my hair done with Anna. She’s amazing! I always love her work. Highly recommended 12/10 ??
Jo Ward Collins
Friendly staff and great hair cuts.
Catherine Yerich
Recently began going to Pam at the Avery Road Kenneth’s. Right from the beginning she was invested in my cut and color and working with me to get the look I was after. The cut was just what I wanted. I wear my hair short and the precision of how she cut my hair was excellent. I didn’t have to go back and point out that my bangs were uneven or my hair was heavier on one side than the other which I have had to do in the past with other stylists. And we are working on my color as I came to her unhappy with my color. Liking what she has done so far with my color too. Great stylist and enjoy talking with her too.

I first received hair services with Ally at Kenneth’s Academy, then followed her to Dublin. I have been very satisfied with her hair expertise. Ally and the Kenneth’s staff are very personable and professional. Highly recommended!
