KEPT

KEPT is a concept of Wilcov Holdings and is set up as a men's grooming business. It sits inside WeStyle Suites, a salon-suite building, so guests walk through a shared lobby to reach their room. Free parking is available at the door.

Each client is given a private suite with the door closed for the whole appointment, and no other clients are in the room. Suites include a TV screen and a fridge. Every service comes with hot towels, sanitized tools and a matte buff finish. Metal tools are sanitized with an EPA-registered hospital disinfectant and sealed after each client, and files and buffers are single-use and go home with the client. The salon is licensed by the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers, and its nail technicians are licensed in Georgia.

KEPT's men's service menu covers hands and feet. The Handshake is a 25-minute manicure including trim, shape, cuticle clean-up, a hand and forearm rub and a matte buff. The Groundwork is a 40-minute pedicure with a warm soak, trim and shape, cuticle work, dead-skin removal, callus smoothing and a calf and foot rub. The Full Keep combines both in one 60-minute visit. The Reset runs 75 minutes and adds substantial callus removal, relief for ingrown edges, and a paraffin treatment for hands and feet; the salon aims it at first visits after a long gap. Add-ons are a paraffin dip, a callus reset, ingrown-edge relief, toenail thinning, polish, and a clear or matte top coat. According to the salon, The Groundwork with a callus reset is its most-booked pairing. KEPT does not offer nail extensions or acrylics.

The salon is designed for men who work with their hands, stand on their feet, or are in client-facing roles, and it also serves groomsmen, pastors and public speakers. Groups can book the room for an hour, and a flat rate for groomsmen and groups of three or more is available on inquiry. Appointments are offered in the evening and on Saturdays, and walk-ins are welcome when a chair is open. Booking is done online or by text message, with a $25 deposit that is applied to the total; the remaining balance is due after the service. Clients who need to reschedule are asked to text or email as early as possible. Prices include tax.

Hygiene and a clean, matte finish are the core of the service, with polish and top coat offered only as optional add-ons.

Each visit takes place in a private, closed suite with a TV and a fridge.
