At Kenneth’s Hair Salons and Day Spas, we believe that excellence doesn’t just happen—it’s carefully taught, supported, and nurtured. Since our earliest days, education has been at the heart of everything we do. From the very beginning, Kenneth Anders, our founder, made it clear: “If we’re going to be the best, we need to teach the best.” That vision still guides us today.
Enter the Kenneth’s Academy
Our Academy is more than a training center; it’s where confidence is built, talent is shaped, and future stars in the beauty industry find their footing. Every new stylist, esthetician, nail technician, and guest service team member starts their journey here. It’s a place of discovery, growth, and refinement—and it’s one of the many reasons Kenneth’s has earned national recognition for our education systems and staff development.
Personalized, Hands-On Experience
For our hairstylists, the Academy experience is intensive, hands-on, and deeply personalized. New graduates from cosmetology school come to us with raw talent, and through our Academy they receive the advanced technical and customer care training needed to truly excel. They work closely with our seasoned educators on everything from haircutting and color formulation to guest consultations, product knowledge, and service etiquette. The result? Technicians who don’t just “do hair,” but who understand how to connect with their guests, offer thoughtful recommendations, and deliver stunning results with professionalism and creativity.
Excellence Beyond Hair
And it’s not just about hair. Our estheticians, nail techs, and customer service team members all go through rigorous initial and ongoing training designed to support their confidence, skill development, and ability to deliver the five-star experience Kenneth’s is known for. Whether it's a perfectly polished manicure, a restorative facial, or a seamless guest check-in, our training ensures every member of our team shares the same commitment to excellence and care.
We’re proud to say that our training program is one of the most respected in the country—and it shows in the service you receive when you walk through our doors.
