KENNETH COTE @ Shimmer Salon and Day Spa - 401-336-3700

After owning and operating Kenneth Cote' Salon at 333 Main Street for more than 40 years, I am proud to announce that I have joined the Shimmer Salon & Day Spa team at 500 Main Street in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

Following a series of surgeries and recoveries, along with the loss of my longtime administrative coordinator and dear friend, Richard Bump, I found myself at a point of reflection and transition. I made the decision to redirect my career from salon ownership toward something that has always been at the center of who I am: continuing to cultivate my craft as a Hair Artist and educator.

As I return to Main Street, my intention is simple: to reconnect with the skills, creativity, and level of care that built my reputation over decades, while offering you the opportunity to reimagine the experience and quality I can bring to your sense of style.

I have always taken pride in helping clients leave with a greater understanding of their hair than when they first sat in my chair. Hair has never simply been about appearance; it has always been about connection, education, and trust. After years of experience, one thing remains unchanged: every service begins with a pair of ears before a pair of shears.

Life has brought its share of challenges over recent years — personal loss, physical setbacks, and significant change. Those experiences have reshaped me, but they have also clarified something important: I am returning to the place where I truly belong.

After nearly five decades in this industry, I am not stepping backward into who I once was; I am stepping forward as who I am today — a distilled version of those years of experience, with greater focus, stronger purpose, and a deeper appreciation for what matters most.

I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces, welcoming new ones, and beginning this next chapter together.
