Lawrenceville Gainful Employment

UPDATE: They made good on everything and have not had any other issues since then. I would still recommend them to anyone that asks about my hair as I get many, many compliments, especially for color.

I would have given them 5 stars but today I left with unfinished hair and very upset, especially when your appointment was at 9 am and they could not cut your hair because at 2:15 pm there wasn’t enough time. They close at 3:30 and the student said she could have finished. Not my fault that my hair line around my face was completely missed when coloring and so I had to have the coloring touched up which = more time sitting and processing the color. 3 different instructors, 3 different opinions. I’ve been coming for years and years and today was just a bad experience. Color is great. Not the color I wanted (another story for another time) but it’s pretty and it covered my faded green/blue color. Now I have to go elsewhere and have my hair cut. Very disappointed.

I went to Keune Academy in Lawrenceville for a color appointment. This was my first visit. Kaye was my stylist and she's awesome! Very professional and friendly. Also the instructors on the floor were great. I will have a few more visits until my transition from dark to blonde is complete, but I will soon schedule my next appointment. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Asked the stylist for different colored hair and got the same color I already have. Did not cover my roots its literally the same. Students and staff were very nice except for the ladies at the front desk, there were 4 girls up there and none of them welcomed me in or smiled. It was my first time there wouldnt go again.
Shelly Jackson
This place is awesome! I have been to other beauty schools in the past, and I have to say that this is the most professional academy I have ever been to. Sydney did an awesome job on my hair. The instructors were great. The location is very convenient for me. And I will definitely be going again!
Yvonne Angle
Anita was awesome! I have fine naturally curly hair and it's a challenge to get an up to date flattering look. She gave me a great style that I haven't had before. Instructors were attentive but gave her enough space to still function independently. Everyone was polite and friendly. I will definitely be back and hope that I can follow Anita, she's a keeper!

Amazing school! Salon quality

I do recommend them, I had my hair done there last week. I've been trying to contact them since last Thursday and all I'm getting is music.
Rebecca VanDruff Hannon
Great ppl! Friendly environment!
Joi Brown
As soon as I said that I was African American they said my fee would be $8 more and that a "Super Senior " would have to do my hair .... what kinds of load of crap is that !!!! Definitely discriminatory
Kim Mauney Dixon
Kaitlyn does a great job! Very professional and love my hair!
Alexis Milewsky
I received a great haircut and color, and the students are so professional! The whole appointment took 5 hours, but my stylist was so attentive and made 5 hours go by fast! Thank you for everything!

Student Testimonials

After an extensive search for the best cosmetology school around Atlanta I found the Keune Academy by 124. I’m now an active student and love every minute of it. The school has taught me so many things not only how to do hair but also business aspects of running/working in a salon. I would highly recommend this school to any person wanting to attend hair school.
