THE FACES OF COLUMBUS ENGAGEMENTS

Worthington Jewelers

Worthington Jewelers is where Columbus gets engaged. With more than 1,300 engagement and wedding styles—plus unlimited custom design options—the store offers unbeatable quality, selection and value in engagement, wedding, fashion and estate jewelry. What makes the family-owned jeweler stand out?

“We engage with customers to find jewelry that fits your unique style and budget,” say owners Bob and Theresa Capace.

“Our friendly, non-commissioned consultants focus on what you want—not on what we carry. If you can dream it, our designers and goldsmiths can make it.”

This emphasis on engaging with customers has driven hundreds of positive online reviews. In fact, Worthington Jewelers is the only jeweler in Ohio to win The Knot Best of Weddings and Wedding Wire Couples Choice awards for each of the past five years.

Columbus Monthly readers have voted the store as one of their top two favorite jewelers for the past five years.

THE FACES OF MY HAIR HARMONY AT KENNETH’S

Kenneth’s Hair Salons & Day Spas My Hair Harmony is where technology meets psychology. As the connection between business and technology continues to evolve, client-based organizations must find creative ways to utilize this connection to better serve their guests. If successful, it can be the key that sets one apart from competitors.

Kenneth’s has developed an innovative and creative solution to a long-standing issue. My Hair Harmony aims to bridge the gap between a guest and their stylist.

Through the My Hair Harmony website, guests complete a short quiz that includes hair goals, hobbies and lifestyle preferences. The results match the guest to a stylist who has similar interests and demographics in the hopes that building rapport happens more seamlessly.

With every guest that comes into our salons, we whole-heartedly know that we can make a difference in their lives by establishing a bond with their stylist that in turn leads to relationships and quality of service.
