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.

What Our Customers Are Saying...
Zach Schmidt
Haircut was good but that’s not why i’m leaving this review. There was a really old lady who was having a lot of difficulty moving around getting her haircut and the staff treated her SO well. They told her next time she comes in to let them know before hand and they’ll meet her at the car with a wheel chair. They were very attentive to all her needs. 10/10 service from the staff for this sweet old lady.
Jill Kuhlman
I had a wonderful experience at this salon and will definitely be making a return. My stylist Payton was very kind and made my hair look absolutely stunning. She keeps conversation flowing and is interested in your day.
Mary Ferris
I had a wonderful experience.

I didn’t have a great experience with Kenneth’s in the past, so was nervous to try it again but am so glad I did. Gracie did such a great job with my hair! She’s just getting started, but you can tell she really cares and takes the time to understand what you’re looking for. I was honestly impressed by how thoughtful and excited she was throughout the whole process. You can tell she’s super passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work. Funny enough, my sister went to someone who’s been doing hair for years to get the same color balayage—and she was super jealous of how mine turned out compared to hers. Definitely glad I gave Gracie a shot—already looking forward to next time!
