Start Back to School with Confidence - Your Head-to-Toe Refresh Starts Here

Let’s be honest—no matter how old you are, “back to school” hits differently. For students, it’s equal parts excitement, reunion with friends, and the oh no, summer’s over moment. For parents, it’s relief, pride, and a silent prayer that their Wi-Fi bill survives the year. But whether you’re heading back to a high school hallway, a college lecture hall, or just want to look like you could, the start of the school year is prime time to refresh your look—and your confidence.

Kenneth’s has you covered for every style, vibe, and confidence boost you need to walk in feeling like you already own the place.

Your End-of-Summer Hair Reset

Your End-of-Summer Hair Reset

Sun, chlorine, and outdoor adventures are great for the memories—not so much for your hair. Our stylists can revive summer-stressed strands with custom cuts, dimensional color, deep conditioning, or glossing services. Whether you’re going for something soft and polished, bold, or just a healthier version of what you already love, our team will make sure you’re photo-day ready.

Tip: Ask about our Malibu treatment if your summer swim sessions left you with chlorine green tones—we’ll have you looking vibrant in no time.

Skin & Style Confidence for the First Bell

Skin and Style Confidence for the First Bell

Our Spa Bar at Polaris is the ultimate back-to-school glow-up station. Recline, de-stress, and go for one of the curated 45-minute facials—from hydration and brightening to deep pore cleansing. And guys—don’t sit this one out. The Spa Bar is for everyone, so you can freshen up your skin, nails, and hair before stepping into a new semester.

But we're not just Polaris-exclusive: skin and nail services are offered at many Kenneth’s locations, making it easy to get glowing wherever you study or live. And remember—just because school’s started doesn’t mean the sun takes the semester off. Keep your SPF game tight.

Tip: Ask your technician to recommend the perfect sunscreen from our quality professional product selections to keep your skin protected all semester.

Nails That Pass Every Test

Nails That Pass Every Test

Healthy nails are always in fashion, but for that extra dose of school pride, go for nail art featuring your mascot or team colors. Subtle designs or bold spirit—both keep your look on point.

Tip: Book your manicure ahead of homecoming or game days to lock in your perfect design slot.

Why Wait Until Midterms?

First impressions count, and the early weeks of school are prime. Book now and get your look set while your semester schedule is still—and before cramming and exams take over.

Let Kenneth’s help you start the year with confidence—whether you're carrying a backpack, laptop, or just fresh energy.

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!
