uNDERSTANDING STYLIST LEVELS

Our level system offers clients options when it comes to salon services as well as providing a career path for growth and achievement for our team members. Levels are based on education, skill mastery and client satisfaction.  As our stylists grow in each area, they earn the opportunity to be promoted to more advanced levels.  

 Clients may choose the stylist and level that best compliments their needs, from skill set and experience to budget.

 Foundation stylists are stylists that have either recently completed our apprenticeship program or are new to BeLaVie but have less than two years of experience behind the chair. They are gaining and developing the skills necessary to deliver BeLaVie quality services in select areas of their craft, and offer a limited menu of basic services (simple cuts, basic color, blowouts, and styling).  They will also assist more senior stylists during busy hours or for complex procedures and continue learning through hands-on practice, training, and mentorship 

 Advanced stylists that have been behind the chair for a minimum of 2 years. They are skilled and can perform a wide variety of services with competence and efficiency.  They are competent in foundational cutting, styling, and coloring services, and they often collaborate with our Senior/Master Stylists for more advanced services. Level 2 Stylists are working on building their confidence as they sharpen their skills and evolve in their craft 

 Senior stylists have accumulated a minimum of 3 years of experience, education, and skill from both behind the chair, as well as through top continuing education. They are well equipped to handle the many intricacies of customized cutting and coloring services. They are also skilled in advanced services, such as extensive color projects and color corrections

 Master stylists are masters of their craft. They are established, respected, and carry a reputation for excellence that has earned them this title. Our master stylists have years, sometimes decades of experience behind the chair.  With advanced education, they are leaders in the organization, and experienced mentors who pay their knowledge forward
