Talent Levels

apprentices

are recently licensed beauty professionals in the early stages of their careers. eager to learn and perfect their skills, they assist and receive hands-on training throughout their day under the guidance of higher-level stylists.

new talents

have been mentored for at least a year and are developing their skills while gaining experience. although new talent stylists usually offer a limited menu, you can expect excellent service while staying within a very specific beauty budget.

junior stylists

have transitioned from new talent and have grown their skill set enough to be on their own with minimal help from senior/master stylists. they are competent in the foundations of cutting, coloring/highlighting, and styling, and are focused on learning more advanced techniques and services. junior stylists are a great option if you are looking for high-quality services at a lower price point.

artisan stylists

at this stage, with several years of education and experience behind the chair, these artists have honed their craft and are pursuing advanced challenges, such as intricate customized color and color projects. artisans have likely grown up within the salon kokopelli program, some may have come with extensive experience from another salon and are working on re-establishing themselves and building a loyal clientele. artisan stylists are a solid choice for those in search of a mid-priced salon experience that exceeds expectations.

advanced stylists

are well-educated, self-guided, and versed in a wide array of hair services. they have sharpened their service timings, guest communications, refined their understanding of theory, and are proficient in delivering advanced cutting, coloring, and texturizing techniques. advanced stylists have less availability as they have established an extensive client list.

senior stylists

create and uphold a very high-performance level standard. many senior stylists have decades of experience, hold leadership roles within the salon, and are instrumental in the mentoring process of apprentices and new talent. they are highly requested and tend to be booked months in advance. they are outstanding in all aspects of hair, and many hold specialized certifications. they stay on top of trends and can create exceptional, personalized looks.

master stylists

are considered experts in all aspects of their field and have a minimum of 10+ years of experience at salon kokopelli. as industry leaders, they are established, respected, and carry a reputation for excellence. masters are generally well known within the community, have a very large clientele, and are booked out a year in advance. their expertise, confidence, and superb artistry give them the ability to use styling techniques that less experienced stylists are unfamiliar with. master stylists have the highest price level, which is reflective of their demand and high level of prestige.
