My dining room ceiling fan won't turn on unless my kitchen light switch is on. A friend ran some new wire prior to the problem.

It's obviously wired incorrectly. Time to call in a friend who is an actual electrician, perhaps, rather than a handyman. I doubt that it is a difficult problem to solve.
The power to the fan is now switched, so it is on the same "switch leg" as the light.
If you want the fan to be controlled by the pull chain and not a switch the power feeding it must be a "hot" and not a "switch leg".
An electrician can fix this for you.
