Pros

I was at Kenneth’s for a few years, as a licensed esthetician. I can’t even begin to describe how horrible the work environment and HR is. The HR women spoke horribly on the employees any time they had a chance. Which got back to the spas and salons like we would never find out lol… all the money goes to the HR people and estheticians made NOTHING!!! The head esthetician didn’t show up half the time to meetings and trainings like she was supposed too, making training the 2x longer. You get barely any personal time enough to cover sick days and vacation. You also work 11 hour shifts and if you don’t have any clients, you have to fold laundry or sit in your room all day by yourself, there is no going home to not waste your time... So many of the ladies who are working there are miserable and just trying to make it to retirement. Kenneth’s is outdated and poorly ran. The brands suck, the quality of services suck. It’s not worth working your butt off to get spoken poorly about by the CEO & HR and the hairstylist and not even be making enough money to pay your bills. You get wrote up for the dumbest reasons. There’s no cancellation policy so clients just no show and never come and basically send you home with no money and they don’t compensate you for that. Having your hair up in the pony tail during waxing services, having no makeup on, having a scuff on your shoe: WRITE UP! It’s a joke, if you want to be broke and be treated poorly this is the place to be. But truly, no one deserves to be treated the way the estheticians get treated at this establishment. They’re greedy and condescending, anywhere it better than here. Maybe don’t talk badly about other employees with OTHER employees during one on one meetings saying that people suck and they won’t be successful because we REFUSE to sell and make your pockets bigger. I can’t see this company doing well down the road. People don’t want to be worked and treated like dogs.

Cons

0/10 score. Not worth your time, please please go else where

Discount but you have to jump through hoops

Cons

catty management with absolutely no room for growth. you can be amazing at your job with customers that love you and they don't care or reward you unless you are buddy-buddy with the corporate office. horrible favoritism
