A FOUR-DAY WORK WEEK
What is so unique about the Kenna Kunijo employee salon experience?
The salon has implemented the 4-day workweek!
Starting in 2019, Kenna Kunijo found that having a 4-day work week allowed their employees to separate their work life from their personal lives. Quickly into this new work week, it was realized that the employees had more days off, and vacations, and enjoyed coming to work. By implementing this type of work week, employees are more energized, ready to go, and overall expressing more motivation when they are working which creates an even greater salon experience for customers!
A HOPEFUL APPROACH TO COMMUNITY
Lauren and Kenna formed Kenna Kunijo with a mission to approach their business the same way they approach their lives individually and together, with service and care. They give back a percentage of their monthly sales to Hope for Justice, a non-profit organization that aims to end human trafficking, something especially close to home for them as Charlotte, NC, is among the top 10 cities in the nation for human trafficking. Additionally, each Friday, they give all proceeds from product sales back to their community, supporting a different nonprofit organization each week.
