• Strength #1: Attention to detail
• Strength #2: Deep knowledge of products, techniques, trends, and helping guests better understand their hair
• Strength #3: Listening with intention so every guest feels heard, understood, and confident in the plan we create together

I work best with guests who enjoy collaboration and trust professional guidance when it comes to recommendations for cutting, coloring, styling, and products. Every suggestion I make is with my guest’s best interest in mind. I love educating my guests and am always continuing to learn new cutting and coloring techniques, so I especially enjoy working with people who are open to trying something new. My strengths really shine with curls, short layered cuts, and lived-in, low-maintenance color. And if you love to chat about life, family, food, or your next travel destination, we will get along wonderfully.

I was featured in a Marie Claire article for smoothing treatments, highlighting Cezanne, which was such an exciting honor. In November 2020, I became an Educator with Surface, and I have continued to grow my knowledge through certifications in Cezanne, QiQi, and Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatments, as well as Perfectress and Amplify extensions. I am also Mizani Aircut Certified and Surface Curls Certified. In 2025, I was promoted to Education Manager at Salon Ultimo, which has been a very meaningful step in my career and a reflection of how much I love teaching, mentoring, and sharing my passion with others.

Guests love the care, intention, and attention to detail I bring every time they are in my chair. My goal is always to help each guest feel like their very best self when they leave. I am also known for creating a relaxing experience at the shampoo bowl, especially with my scalp massages to help make the stress of the day melt away.

“Love, love, love. Kennidi is definitely a “master” at her profession. The head/back of neck massage is amazing. Spends a lot of time with me. Probably the best experience I’ve had.”

It was always my dream to become a stylist and work at Salon Ultimo. I grew up visiting my grandma at her salon in White Bear Lake, and when I was 3 years old, my mom began working at Salon Ultimo. I loved coming to the salon, visiting with the team, helping fold towels, and playing pretend with my sister after hours like we worked there too. I am so grateful that dream became reality and that I now get to share my passion with both my guests and my team. I love the connections and relationships I get to build, and I am honored to help make my guests’ dream hair come to life. Becoming the Education Manager and having the opportunity to teach and mentor new talent has been especially meaningful to me, and you may just find me encouraging and helping others while you are in my chair.
