Ken Burkeen, Founder of Huetiful Salon

Ken Burkeen is Founder & CEO of Huetiful and the Huetiful Salon. He started his beauty care experience as a brand manager in Procter &Gamble's multi-billion dollar beauty care division. Realizing that businesses were not developing new products that resolved the needs of women with textured hair, Ken set out to create a hair care brand that created products both innovative and effective, addressing the hair care needs specific to women with textured hair. Huetiful now has salons located in Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas-Ft. Worth.
