Danielle is awesome! Best style and hair cut that I have ever had! Danielle took time to talk with me (I’m in my mid 70’s) about what style worked best for me. She is professional, helpful and kind! The manager is wonderful!

Lauren Schneider
I went to Kenneth’s in Kingsdale Center for the first time for a blowout before my engagement photos. I usually go to Polaris but my usually stylist didn’t work on the day I needed the blowout. Mackenzie was an amazing stylist- she listened to what I was looking for, took time to make it a reality, and also suggested products to help ensure my style remained perfect, like leave-in conditioner spray instead of using conditioner during the wash because my hair is straight and heavy and she didn’t want to weigh my hair down. I loved the spray so much I bought it and the difference in my hair’s volume and feel after the last few washes has been awesome! Overall, I loved my experience and would highly recommend Mackenzie!!!
Sreedevi Ravindranathan
I had such a wonderful experience at Kenneth on my first visit! My stylist, Payton, was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind. After having several disappointing experiences with hairstylists in Columbus, it was refreshing to finally find someone who truly listens and delivers exactly what you want. I’m so happy with the results and will definitely be coming back!
