Stylist FAQ

Our levels create transparency for guests and a growth path for our team. They allow clients to choose their service experience based on budget, comfort level, and desired expertise — while giving our stylists a clear system for professional and financial growth.

Stylist progression is based on performance and professionalism, including revenue contribution, pre-booking rate, client retention, utilization and demand, efficiency, timing, and technical consistency.

Higher levels mean more experience, higher confidence, greater efficiency, refined timing, and premium service flow.

We price based on time, experience, and efficiency. As stylists grow, they work more confidently, consistently, and effectively — which increases the overall value of the service.
