Office of the President

For more than three decades, Kenny's Academy of Barbering has stood as a steadfast pillar within the region, shaping the journey of adult learners through its carefully orchestrated programming. With strategic locations spanning the urban landscape, Kenny's Academy of Barbering has become the hub for comprehensive barber & cosmetology science students. The seasoned faculty, boasting a collective experience of over five decades, remains dedicated to fostering student success.


Fervently, guided by the visionary acumen of Gregory M. Kenny Sr., the founder of Kenny's Academy of Barbering Inc., Kenny's Barber Shops Inc., and Community Fellowship Ministries, a remarkable legacy of excellence, innovation, and community advancement has been forged. With an unwavering commitment to both the tonsorial profession and the betterment of individuals' lives, Gregory M. Kenny Sr.'s indomitable spirit continues to inspire generations as his establishments serve as beacons of skill, opportunity, and service. 


At the trade school, the institution has consistently advocated for outreach initiatives and highlighted the transformative potential of barbering education. Embarking on his pedagogical odyssey in 1983, Mr. Kenny's expertise spans more than four decades. Concurrently, Mrs. Terry Kenny, an invaluable asset with over three decades of experience in barbering & education instruction, enriches the institution's instructional cohort.


The institutional narrative is adorned with a lineage of adeptly honed barbers, a substantial number of whom have seamlessly transitioned into licensed professionals and proprietors of barbering establishments. Kenny's Academy of Barbering perpetuates its resonating impact on the industry, with the litmus test of achievement being the triumphant trajectory of its students. As these individuals navigate the meticulously structured programs, they emerge as proficient professionals. Acknowledging Mr. Kenny's exceptional expertise and abiding dedication, his 2015 appointment by then Governor Mike Pence to the State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners underscores his role as a stalwart guide.
