Winter Nail Trends and Care for a Busy December

Hands do more in December than any other month. They wrap gifts, prepare meals, decorate homes, carry shopping bags, and welcome family. It is no surprise that many guests look forward to a winter manicure because it feels like a reward for all the work their hands do behind the scenes.

Color That Complements the Season

Winter brings its own understated palette. Deep wines, modern neutrals, soft shimmer, and classic reds all feel right at home during holiday gatherings. Some clients prefer festive elegance while others want simplicity for a clean, polished look. Our nail professionals can help you choose shades and finishes that match your style and your plans for the month.

Hydration Matters More Than Ever

Footlogix Product

Cold air dries both nails and cuticles, making hands look tired quickly. A structured manicure with targeted hydration helps nails stay smooth and resilient. At home, a nourishing cuticle oil or rich hand cream keeps the results lasting longer and prevents winter roughness.

Why Busy Clients Love Dazzle Dry

Dazzle Dry has become a favorite for this time of year because it dries quickly and performs beautifully. Many December schedules do not allow time for long services or extended drying periods. Dazzle Dry gives you durable color with a fast finish, which makes it ideal for the holiday shopper, the parent juggling events, or anyone moving through the season at full speed.

A Moment That Feels Good and Looks Good

Manicures

A manicure is more than a cosmetic choice. It is a small ritual that helps you feel polished and put together before photos, gatherings, or special events. When your hands look refreshed, you feel more confident in the moments when everyone is capturing memories.

A Simple Gift That Always Fits

Kenneth's Gift Card

A Kenneth’s gift card or a curated bundle of hand care essentials is a thoughtful way to show appreciation for someone who works hard all year. It is personal, practical, and always well received.

Give your hands the care they deserve this season. You use them for so much. Let us help them look and feel their best.

What Our Customers Are Saying...
Andy - Linda Schengeli
I see Dawn at the Grove City Kenneth's. If I could give 10 stars I would. Dawn listens and she is so cheerful. Dawn is definitely an expert in her field. She is more than a stylist, she is an artist. I am always unsure about what I want to do with my bangs (full bangs, side bangs, grow them out - we laugh about that) I always ask Dawn's opinion and advice, which I follow, and I always love the outcome. My experience with Dawn is above what I ever expected. Dawn always makes me feel relaxed and I enjoy my salon days with Dawn tremendously. Dawn also gives the best shampoo experience, it is a treat to get my hair washed by Dawn. I highly recommend Dawn.

Dawn is the best! I’m in between states and made an appointment to get my hair done before I left Ohio again. I explained to her what I wanted, I didn’t use any technical terms, she figured out what I was asking for, and she delivered. The appointment was quick and she did such a great job. I will be going back to see her when I’m in Ohio again!
Mary Miller
Dawn is amazing! She always listens to what I want do with my hair and does it perfect every time. I struggled for years to find someone who can cut my curly hair and she does amazing. Dawn makes every experience great with her friendly and professional demeanor.
Cheyla Hernandez
Rae was amazing! She dyed my hair and I was beyond impressed with her work, I absolutely loved how my hair turned out. Ever since getting my hair done by her, I’ve been getting so many compliments, and it honestly made me feel so much more confident. From the beginning, she asked about my beauty budget and was very transparent and respectful of it. Throughout the entire appointment, she constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable and if I needed anything, which made the experience even better. She’s incredibly talented, professional, and truly cares about her clients. Overall, my experience with Rae was incredible, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist!
