Kenneth Shuler's Rock Hill campus was one of 18 local businesses and agencies that donated its time and talents to the Tender Hearts Job Fair and Community Event on Thursday, April 26.

The event was aimed at helping the homeless and less fortunate members of the community get back to work by offering them resume assistance, interview training, and help with their appearance. 15 students and staff members from Kenneth Shuler gave free haircuts to the individuals who participated in the hopes that they would go to their next job interview feeling good about themselves!

As always, we're so proud of our schools for reaching out and helping those in need! What a great way to give back!

Congratulations to all of the students and staff members who won trophies at the ACSP Competition on Saturday, April 21st! A total of 10 trophies were brought home by Kenneth Shuler representatives!

This year's event was held in Myrtle Beach at the Ocean Dunes Resort.

Way to go KS! We are proud of EVERYONE who participated!

We are so proud that world-famous long-hair stylist Martin Parsons visited Kenneth Shuler's very own ACE Academy! Martin came on April 10th and demonstrated his unique knotting, folding and lacing up-do techniques for around 90 Kenneth Shuler employees, students, and guests (including some local Cost Cutters staff members).

In addition, Martin gave attendees the opportunity to have one-on-one pictures taken with him AND purchase his book, which he also autographed.

What a wonderful advanced training opportunity for everyone involved! Be sure to check out all of our pictures on the Kenneth Shuler Facebook page!

On Monday, March 26th, high-fashion hit South Carolina's capital city when "Wine, Dine & Design" made its debut at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Kenneth Shuler Schools of Cosmetology was the presenting sponsor of the event, which featured fashion designers from across the Palmetto state and even boasted Hollywood's very own "Cojo" as the celebrity guest. Additional celebrities included Mrs. United States 2008 Gariane Gunter, Mrs. New York 2012 Leah Bartos, Mrs. South Carolina 2012 Danyele Gardner, former Miss Winston Cup Renee Perks, two-time Miss Hawaiian Tropic Jennifer Trinker, and CN2 Anchor Lucas McFadden.

The event drew nearly 400 people and created quite a buzz in Columbia and surrounding areas. Kenneth Shuler's very own staff members styled the hair of all of the models, representatives from BeautiControl provided make-up services, and countless other local businesses worked to provide (free-of-charge) such necessities as audio, visual, and lighting services, decorations, design visions, and runway management.

The show was a huge success and KS Schools is thrilled to be able to share pictures from the event with you! Just visit our Facebook page (listed under the name Kenneth Shuler Schools of Cosmetology) and click on the album titled "Wine, Dine & Design."

We love it when there is good news surrounding the beauty industry!
