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 &amp; 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. — Kenneth Cote'

East Greenwich police are investigating a fraud that occurred at Karma Couture last week in which someone bought jewelry worth thousands over the Internet from the store with a stolen credit card. Police said a manager of the store reported on May 13 that someone placed five orders on the store's Web site in April by a woman claiming to be Ashley Porter. The orders were shipped to two different addresses in Texas, police said, and all were received with signature confirmation.  The folks at the store found out on May 13 that the card used in the transactions was reported stolen and the credit card company reversed the charges. Police said the store owners had been in contact with Texas police about the purchases. Police are investigating. The stolen merchandise consisted of a Judith Leiber gold ring valued at $166.24; a 14 karat gold 6-stone diamond ring valued at $325; a 14 karat white gold three-stone blue topaz ring valued at $225; a 14 karat David Yurman silver citrine cable valued at $1,250; an 18 karat Ross-Simons .90CT3 band ring valued at $633.75 and a Baume and Mercier 18 karat plated stainless watch valued at $608.

The culprit or culprits allegedly placed five orders in April with a stolen credit card.
