About

C. These include Bennett Career Institute, Bennett Babies Child Development Center, C Alan Salons, the C. Alan Foundation and Kidney Kafé.

Chet A. Bennett founded Bennett Career Institute, where he serves as vice president and chief executive officer. He has more than 23 years of experience in cosmetology and barbering, and the business describes the institute as award-winning. The stated mission is to put community first and help entrepreneurs grow across the beauty industry.

The salon side is booked through C Alan Signature Salon, where clients can browse the team and choose a stylist. Through salon suite booking, professionals are listed for barbering, hairstylist services, nail work, braiding and locs. Barber services cover precision cuts, fades, line-ups and beard grooming in classic or modern styles, and hairstylist services include cuts, color and styling after a personalized consultation. The business says it offers licensed professionals for all types of services and calls its salon suites the number one destination in Washington, DC. A hair loss clinic also offers treatments for thinning, patchiness and more advanced hair loss.

Kidney Kafé provides catering for events and aims to encourage healthy cooking, eating and lifestyle choices. Its meals are low in sodium and phosphorus and are designed especially for dialysis patients and others seeking healthier eating. The C. Alan Foundation is a nonprofit that helps people living with kidney disease through counseling, nutrition, toiletries, education, housing, transportation and support. Donations made through the business go to the foundation, which holds fundraising gatherings, pampering days and giveaways.

Operating hours are 9am to 4pm Eastern, seven days a week, excluding holidays. The phone number is 202.526.1400. The jobs page lists openings for cosmetologists, barbers, estheticians and instructors.

The business is organized around community and developing entrepreneurs throughout the beauty industry, with Kidney Kafé's cooking aimed at healthier eating.
