I made a mistake my appointment was for tomorrow ...well NO PROBLEM!!!! The owner took me and let me tell you my hair has not looked this good since I was 25!!!!!! The color is simply amazing!!! Kenneth took time looked through my hair and could tell that I had been shopping around for a good hair stylist by the different color lines in my hair. Well goodbye lines my hair finally looks natural again like the lady who used to do my hair ( and that lovely lady did my hair for 25 years until she couldn't do hair anymore). Well after 5 years of shopping around I have found my hair stylist again. My hair looks as if I was born a natural sandy blonde. Love it with the highlights and no orange ladies. A lot of salons I went to in the past always put a little orange tint ...not KENNETH he is the BEST. I am very happy. And I love the atmosphere on St. Charles ave. with all the Street cars riding by. Also the staff at both locations is AWESOME. They Cindy is so nice and friendly and the lady in Metairie worked very hard to get me in for an appointment. After all it was my mistake my appointment was for tomorrow not today. Oh and I forgot to mention what a great cut I got too. My hair is perfect. And I even like the way Q blew it out. Most of the time I like my hair a certain way and while I always like having it blown out I usually like to do it my way, not this time. Q did such a great job I'm going to see how long I can go without washing my hair. ( don't mean to brag but it looks so good). Thank you !!!! See you in a few weeks for my next appointment. read more

Very welcoming salon! First time appointment. Great color and haircut, stylist Tina listened and did a super job on my hair!! It's been so difficult during covid to go to a salon and feel comfortable. Thank you Kenneth's!! read more

I can understand why the owner "Kenneth" does not reveal his last name. I would be ashamed also if I had given a client the worst possible haircut. Not only did it fail to reflect, in any way, the photo that I provided to show the look I wanted, but it is also the opposite of everything I conveyed via the photo and conversation. After an unreasonable cost (given the horrible result) I will have to spend yet more money IF I can find someone to fix the mess he made. I would provide a photo of this nightmare but I'm not keen on sacrificing that much privacy. No one is obliged to take my warning to heart without evidence, but know this: I am a very rational person with a design background so I know bad design when I see it. Someone reading this may have had a very different experience with Kenneth and enjoyed a great outcome. I see several 5-star reviews--mostly to do with color and/or regarding some other stylist. However, I'd never risk my appearance by using someone who is likely to ignore my request to then create something that is the antithesis of good design. While he can make it look 'acceptable' while you are in his chair, no one would want the horrible, bulky, obviously lopsided (unintentionally) haircut I discovered after washing the 'wax' out of my hair. Yes, he used wax on my hair without first asking me. To be honest.. I would give a minus star for Kenneth, if it was allowed. Buyer beware. read more

Best color and haircut I've had in years! Kenneth could not have been more attentive and hands on. A real professional. What a treat! His staff is extremely attentive as well. Great salon, excellent service and very reasonable prices. read more

I can't speak about every stylist here but Tina gets me right every single time. It is the best and most reliable haircut I have had anywhere. Despite paying 3-4x more for haircuts in DC, NYC, and elsewhere in NOLA, this is the best haircut I consistently get. She gets that professional doesn't mean it can't be stylish and vice versa. In addition, she listens to me every time. I can just walk in there and say make me look good and she can deliver, which is best because I don't always know how I want to look! The place is comfy enough and not too fancy or pretentious. The staff are nice and professional, and don't peddle products that you don't want. Thanks Kenneths! read more

To give some context, I naturally have dark, long, thin but abundant hair. On a normal day here, I have a prominent fuzzy aura of frizz. I was tired of spending up to an hour and a half every morning doing my hair to look half-way presentable. Long story short, I had Japanese Hair Straightening done here by Christina. The owner was even part of the consultation and both were very professional and nice. Christina did an amazing job! Overall, I absolutely love the results, even three months later! If I choose to use a blow dryer right after a shower, it looks great in 10 minutes. If I decide to run a round brush through it, it looks like I just came from the salon. Also, if I air dry my hair (which doesn't take very long now), NO FRIZZ!!! Now, my hair still does have the slightest natural wave, but I really like it. It makes my hair look more "naturally perfect," if that makes any sense. I will definitely be coming back here for touch ups in the future. Thank you all so much! read more

When I was looking for a hair salon close to our hotel, Kenneth's Studio popped up. I looked through some photos in the photo gallery and said this is my place! My fiancé and I were planning an elopement in NOLA and I wanted to feel pampered on our special day-let me tell you-this is the place to go! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smiling staff, I felt at "home" when I walked in and I knew I found the right salon! Everyone was welcoming and even the owner, Kenneth was there! Christina was my stylist for the day! She knows her hair & make-up! She's down to earth, funny, welcoming and most of all she's honest! I loved that she asked what I was thinking about for a hair style and I showed her a couple pictures of hair & make up and she nailed it! I couldn't have been any happier than I was! My fiancé was quite impressed and I told him I was so happy I chose this salon! Christina will not let you down! She is amazing and will make you feel like a queen! She is creative and a hair and make up wizard! I hope I can see her and the staff next year when my husband and I go back! Thank you Thank you Thank you Christina, you made my day exquisite! read more

See all

The entire family has been coming to see Tina for a year now. She is amazing with my 4 year old son, does a great job for my husband and has been fantastic with my hair too! Most recently, I went to her wanting to change up the look slightly with more of the ombre fade. Her execution is flawless and my hair looks so natural - my goal, it slowly fades from top to bottom with out the extremes (aka Drew Barrymore). It's lovely and professional and hip -- perfect. The entire staff is wonderful too - they always say hi to my son and always keep a few extra mints in the back just for his visit. A small touch - but we love it. read more

Kieu "Q" does an excellent job, especially if you're looking for someone who understands how to cut/style asian hair. I've been coming to Kenneth's for 2 years since I've lived in Nola for school and I'm always satisfied with my cut. She knows how to consider your needs and is open to helping you explore other styles as well. The staff is prompt and friendly as well. read more

Tina is awesome. I am a male with thick, curly hair and she does a great job making it look good with little direction from me. She also trims my beard. I swear her skills helped get me a girlfriend. read more

I have had Kenneth cut my hair for over 30 years. Now my mom and my husband go to him, too. I don't have a lot of hair, but he does an amazing job with what I do have. I can't say enough good things about the wonderful service, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I had the Japanese permanent straightening system done by Jen after a friend recommended her, and she did a fantastic job. My hair looked and felt amazing. I am going on 4 months now and my hair is still straight. It's much healthier than when I used to flat iron it daily, and it doesn't react to humidity at all. My flat iron has not come out of the drawer since the treatment, and I don't even own a blow dryer. Although it is expensive, it is worth every penny. I absolutely love it and will be getting my hair Japanesed every 6 months from now on! read more

Amy is from Chicago by way of Telluride Colorado!!!! I scheduled a cut here while on vacation in New Orleans. Amy was really great. She didn't try to talk me into a short style (seeing how my long hair was important to me). What a down to earth gal. She used to own a her very own salon in Telluride so she's definitely got the credentials. Try her out folks, you won't be disappointed. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I didn't get offered a glass of wine. haha. I'm such a WINEAUX! read more

Very reasonable price for the amount of service and attention you receive. I use to just go to Supercuts, but they really give you top notch service here. Money well spent. read more

"Q" did an amazing job giving me highlights...you know what they say, blondes have more fun! *what they say is true, we really do. also, there was wine, and everyone is really sweet. coming from new york, i had reverse sticker shock with the price tag ($102 for partial highlights and a cut). I'll be back. read more

First off I love the fact that I can walk across the street from my apartment and get a bit glammed up. Jennifer does a great job cutting my long hair. You can't beat the price either. At less than $50 I leave with a good cut and a sleek blow out. read more

This salon is a hit or miss. I have been several times - because of convenience mostly. I would not color my hair again here, my color experience did not meet expectations - I dont recall the ladies name but didn't want her to do my hair again. However for styling and a regular haircut is just perfect -specially if you already know what you want. My last haircut and style was perfect no complaints and guy was great ! Prices as comparable to any other salon. For nails is a bit more pricy than a regular nail salon, I liked my manicure no problems with it. Overall not the best salon in NoLA but will do the job. read more

I chose this salon because of Yelp, and was not disappointed. I have been to see Jennifer three times now, to shape my hair while I grow out a pixie cut, and each time she has done an amazing job! She always manages to make it look like an actual style and not just an in-between stage, and she really listens to what I want. read more

I disagree with Anita S. I had a haircut with Amy and I was totally disappointed. There is no communication in that salon! I schedule a cut and dry and when I got there told them I had forgotten to ask about deep conditioning treatments. The receptionist said no problem - Amy will have time to add that in. What neither Amy nor the receptionist said is that you only get the haircut no blow-dry after. The haircut is crap. I asked her to retrim my bangs being very specific how long I wanted them - telling her several times not to make them to short and that when dry they should touch the middle of my eyebrow. They are a good 1/4" above my eyebrows and totally uneven. The staff rushed me out in the end! Every salon I have gone to from high end to middle of the road the stylist asks - how do you like to part your hair or do you have a preferred part and how do you wear your hair. Amy never asked and even after telling her I need it long enough to wear a braid - she cuts short layers that fall out of the braid. Thanks Kenneths - now I have to wait another six months for it to grow out and then have a real hair cut. Salon is a joke - don't recommend it at all. read more

Tina is amazing at cutting curly hair, and she knows that the best way to style it is to give it a little product and let it hair dry. I can't even count the times I've left other salons with greasy, frizzy, diffused hair. Also, Kenneth once cut my hair when Tina was off. I'd been doing a little too much swimming in a hyperchlorinated pool, and my hair was as dry as paper. Kenneth did an extra conditioning treatment for free, even though it took him about a half an hour longer than a regular cut. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Dana for at least 3-4 years and she has taken me through bobs, short-short cuts and the blonde I have always wanted but had been too chicken to try. The entire staff is friendly and fun to be around and my experiences there are always pleasant. Whenever I get compliments on my cut or color I am thrilled to direct them to Kenneth's and Dana. read more

Hanz S.: Sorry to hear about your friend's terrible experience. As a girl who has had bad haircuts in her life, I know it really sucks. That having been said, I'd like to stand by the legitimacy of my review. I have no affiliation with Kenneth's other than being an occasional client and have nothing to gain by writing a bogus review. Why on earth would you assume that these positive reviews are false? They're reviews, plan and simple, which is exactly why Yelp exists in the first place. You want to write Kenneth's a bad review, be my guest, but your assumption that the prior reviews (at least the one I wrote) are false is flat out wrong, so please don't make assumptions about other yelpers. read more

I came to New Orleans for a conference. My hair was washed out, totally out of shape, and in need of some TLC. I looked up yelp reviews and found Kenneth salon and Tina. 5 stars is not enough for her. She straightened out y horrible hair. We discussed my color and my style and then she went to work. Best color ever and my cut is so easy to manage. I have thin fine hair and Tina gave me a great cut to make my hair look full and healthy. Everyone in the salon is so helpful and nice. They gave us wonderful tips for restaurants and things to do and see. Thank you Tina read more

I was really disappointed. The cut was not terrible, but it was not at all what I wanted and it wasn't exactly great either. It was frustrating to pay nearly $50 for a $12 haircut I could have gotten at Hair Cuttery. This was my first trip to Kenneth's. I wouldn't rule out trying them again, but if I go back I will bring photos and definitely be more assertive and ask about the actual price up front; the "starting at" price is nowhere near the actual cost. I've heard good things about this salon and the service was friendly, but not worth the price. read more

Instead of visiting one of those nail salons, you should really treat yourself and make an appointment with Tea for a manicure. She is the best in the city not just because she is very efficient and friendly, but because she can make your nails look like works of art. She can create the coolest nail art on the tips of fingers--just ask her and she can make anything your heart desires--hearts, bunnies, cats, etc... If you just want a regular manicure, she is great at that too. She gives the best hand massages. Tea can also do the gel polish manicures and they last and last. read more

I am a salon owner in Atlanta and never write negative reviews however I felt I had to today. I have a client that I've seen for 8 years who went to school at Tulane and couldn't get back to see me. I have been straightening her hair with the Japanese straightener all these and have NEVER had an issue. She had her hair straightened with Jen and immediately knew there was an issue. She went in to show her the nape area of her hair was severely damaged. Jens solutions was to chop off the whole first inch of her hairline! And, the salon owner was made aware of the problem. As time progressed, her hair began to break off in several areas. She came to my salon to show me her hair and I was shocked! Over her entire head form there were signs of severe stress and breakage. We contacted the salon and I spoke to the owner Ken about the issue and he said he didn't know what happened. Well I do! My clients hair was completely over processed! He went on to blame my client in some way (I can assure you this was not caused by anything she could have done)! I even sent him pictures of her breakage so that he could see the damage for himself! After much deliberation and many conversations not only did he refuse to accept any responsibility, he refused to refund my client. If this situation had occurred in our salon I would have begged forgiveness, and would have refunded every penny and done her hair for free until she was completely satisfied. This was handled in the most unprofessional manner! I would NEVER step foot in this salon! Buyer beware!!! read more

I have been to this salon to get an updo and waxing and have left content. I went back two weeks ago for another updo and left so upset. It looked NOTHING like the picture I showed. The stylist said several times that I had such long and thick hair, but this has never been a problem before. I have had beautiful styles done in the past and paid less! I hate to be difficult and complain, so I tried to make the best of it, but was even more frustrated when the other ladies who worked there said it looked great. Another reviewer mentioned this and yes, it made me almost want to scream. It was a pile of hair this way and that, not all all what I asked for, it did not "look great." The salon is so close to my home so it is so convenient to walk to and I am disappointed to say that I will not be going back. The stylist was very nice, but if a customer is going to pay, you should be honest if a service is above your level of training or expertise. read more

I have been going to Kenneth's for several years to get my hair cut. I receive compliments on my haircut, and the service is exceptional. Whenever I call to make an appointment, I get a text beforehand to confirm my appointment. They have great coffee to enjoy while you're waiting. Kenneth makes a great energizing shampoo, which I have purchased and use at home as well. I definitely recommend Kenneth's Studio For Hair! read more

Very satisfied with the service and value here. My hair is straight, thick and hard to cut. Tina has always done a great job (and she is fun to talk to as well). read more

Darryll was awesome! Very friendly and professional. Of course, my keratin treatment turned out awesome. I will definitely go back!

Everytime I make an appointment with Kieu, I know I'm gonna be in a good mood for a week. I mean, come on, you know when you get your hair refreshed, it will bring positive energy to your life. Kieu is so far my best hair stylist ever! I'm Asian, and it's hard to have an Asian stylist to deal with my hair. But Kieu really listens to my concern and request and does a careful and artistic job! Love her~~~ read more

I had my hair chemically straightened once before and loved it so I decided to try and have it done here in New Orleans. I had the japanese hair straigtening done at Kenneths and its not the same. It took 3 tries sitting in the chair for 3-4 hours each time and I'm not satisfied with the resuts. After the first treatment I was really excited, then washed my hair after 3 days and portions of curls returned. Jen generously offered to fix the problem no charge. But again the curls returned when I wahed it after 3 days. Three weeks later, she did the treatment again. After I specifically pointed out where my curls were, she refused to acknowledge this and treated only a portion of my curls insisting she could see them. In addition, parts of my hair are now brittle because of the repeated treatments. If I choose to straighten my hair again, I will be choosing a different location. This process was not worth the money. Overpriced when I got the same process with better results for $100 in another country. If I were you, I wouldn't risk it. read more
