Kenneth Shuler's seven campuses worked to tackle hunger again this year by participating in the Souper Bowl of Caring! The Souper Bowl of Caring is a nationwide event that works to fight and raise awareness about hunger and poverty. It's held every year around the time of the Super Bowl, which played out on February 5th between the New England Patriots and New York Giants.
Each campus hosted a variety of events during the month of January such as bake sales, jeans days, and soup days to try to raise money for a food-related, charitable organization within their community. Many of the campuses also hosted food drives, so in addition to monetary contributions, food donations were made to charities as well!
Altogether, more than $1,700 was raised and countless canned goods were brought in during this fundraiser, so a HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who helped support this cause!
KS School of Cosmetology won the title of "Best Cosmetology School" in Lexington Life Magazine's recent "Best of Lexington" contest! We're so honored to have received this award! A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who voted and supported us! What a great way to start off 2012!
Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology is philanthropic all year long, but during the holiday season, our giving spirit shines even brighter!
During the month of December, all of our campuses participated in an array of community-service activities that ranged from adopting families to toy and clothing drives.
We are so proud of the community service work that our staff and students do year-round. We also thank the public for their endless support.
Happy Holidays!
Congratulations to Samantha Emrick, a graduate from Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology's Garners Ferry Road campus, for being chosen as a finalist for Matrix's "Spread the Love" 2012 campaign!
Samantha headed to New York City in December for the finalist auditions. Before she left, though, Kenneth Shuler Schools presented her with a complimentary personal styling session with local stylist Brian Maynor. Brian and Samantha spent a day shopping at the Village at Sandhill, all to ensure that Sam was fashion-ready for her big trip to NYC! (Visit Kenneth Shuler on Facebook to see the pictures from that fun-filled day!)
We're so proud of you Samantha for making it that far! Congrats on your accomplishments!
Our Rock Hill campus was recently chosen by Matrix to be the ONLY cosmetology school in South Carolina to represent the "Spread the Love" campaign in 2012. There is only one school chosen for each state, so this is quite an accomplishment! The school will be given a laptop so that students and staff can blog their experiences, there will be visits at the school by the "Spread the Love" winners, and there will be extra opportunities for students to win advanced education! How cool is all of this?!
Congratulations to all of the students who participated in the bi-annual SCACS Competition on Monday, October 17th! The event, which lasted all day, was held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Columbia. Students from all seven of Kenneth Shuler's campuses competed against other cosmetology students from across the state and when it was all said and done, they took home 25 of the 36 trophies!
Below you will find which KS school placed in each category:
Kenneth Shuler's seven campuses are going PINK during the month of October in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Each of the schools is organizing and participating in a wide array of events and activities, so stop by one of our campuses to get involved! The monies raised at each school will be donated to a breast cancer-related organization within each of the communities.
You can also stop by one of our schools to nominate a breast cancer survivor or current patient for a makeover!
One day we hope there will be a cure. In the meantime, please support our efforts as we raise money for a good cause!
Congratulations to all of the students and staff who participated in the first-ever BOSS (Best of Shuler Schools) Competition on Wednesday, September 21st!
It was a very memorable day that began with students and staff from all seven campuses coming together at the St. Andrews Road school to compete in various categories. The competition lasted until around 6 PM and then, three Hummer limousines showed up at the school to whisk all of the participants to The Capital City Club, which is a very exclusive restaurant that overlooks downtown Columbia, SC. All of the winners were announced there during a ceremony that followed dinner.

Kenneth Shuler's Spartanburg campus was proud to partner with WSPA News Channel 7 to host a "Locks of Love" event on Tuesday, August 23! It happened from noon until 6:30 at the Spartanburg school, which is located at 1515 John B. White Sr. Blvd.
The event was broadcast live by local celebrity Jack Roper on News Channel 7's noon, 5 PM, 5:30 PM, and 6:00 PM shows. Around 25 people came out to the campus and donated their hair, which had to be at least 6 inches long. All of the hair is being shipped to "Locks of Love" and will be used to make hairpieces for children who are suffering from medical-related hair loss. All of the people who donated their hair received a complimentary cut, style, and goodie bag for their donation.
A special thanks goes out to all of the people who made this event such a success!
Kenneth Shuler’s Rock Hill campus enjoyed some pretty exciting work this month as stylists, actors, and actresses for the major motion picture “The Hunger Games” visited the school for beauty preps.
Joico stylists for the movie cut and colored cast member’s hair at the school, while Kenneth Shuler students and staff assisted them.
Kenneth Shuler Schools of Cosmetology was very excited about this amazing opportunity because it gave students a first-hand glimpse of all of the behind-the-scenes work that goes on in the movie industry.
A few lucky students showed such great promise that they were invited by Joico stylists to intern on the actual set of the movie! What an amazing opportunity! Filming is being shot in the Charlotte and Shelby, North Carolina area.
We’ll be sure to post pictures so be on the lookout for them on our Kenneth Shuler Facebook page! The film's expected release date is March 2012.
Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology's North Augusta campus held its annual "Back to School" event on Monday, August 1st and we're proud to say that it was another huge success!
The event, which was held at the North Augusta campus (located at 736 East Martintown Road), took place from 9 AM until 12 PM. Students and staff from Kenneth Shuler, as well as Augusta Technical College's barbering students, gave away a variety of haircuts and styles for FREE to about 60 local school-aged children. (To put this in a monetary perspective, more than $600 worth of haircuts and styles were performed for free!) In addition, the school raffled off 27 bookbags and passed out around 60 goodie bags filled with pencils, paper, crayons, and glue. Children who participated in the event also were able to enjoy free ice cream and snacks courtesy of the Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology staff and student body.
This event is evidence of the many ways that Kenneth Shuler Schools of Cosmetology gives back to the communities that we service. A special thanks goes out to everyone involved!

Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology's 7th annual 'Cuts for Cancer' event has come and gone and thanks to the generous outpouring of support from the KS family and local community members, it was another successful year!
Students and staff from the St. Andrews Road and Garners Ferry Road campuses rallied together during the week of May 15-20 to offer a variety of $5 beauty services to the public including haircuts, mini manicures, mini pedicures, eyebrow waxings, lip waxings, chin waxings, beard trims, and mustache trims. In addition, the schools sponsored basket raffles, bake sales, jeans days for students, and hot dog sales in an effort to raise fundraising levels!
When all of the monies were tallied together (including Mr. Kenneth Shuler’s gracious personal donation) a grand total of $3,037.04 had been raised for Children’s Chance. Children's Chance is a Columbia-based, non-profit organization that helps children with cancer and their families with non-medical needs such as financial assistance, counseling, and school supplies.
This money was presented to Children’s Chance officials on Wednesday, June 15th at Kenneth Shuler’s St. Andrews Road campus in Columbia.
A special thanks goes out to everyone who participated in this event--including KS staff, students, and the general public. This year’s event brings the total amount of money donated to Children’s Chance over the past seven years by Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology to nearly $18,500.
