FAQ..
At atelier beauty bar you will find a wide array of creative professionals who have earned promotions and work at different levels. A stylists level determines their price point, but necessarily their experience level.
​How does your level system work?
Atelier Beauty Bar offers service levels for you to choose from. Depending on your beauty needs and budget, we have an artist who we are sure will exceed your expectations. A stylists level does not necessarily reflect their years of experience, as every member of our team begins at level one, regardless of previous experience. Promotions are earned based on demand of time.
​
How do I know which stylist to book with?
We recommend visiting our "Meet The Team Page." There you can view all of our service providers, read their bios and get to know them. You'll also find direct links to their individual Instagram portfolios. This way you can be sure you're scheduled with a stylist that specializes in your desired look and price point.
​
What is an Associate?
Think of our Associate Program as a Master's Program for Salon Professionals. Our Associates have completed beauty school and are already licensed and in some cases already have previous salon experience. They have made the decision to advance their skillset and their career by joining our rigorous training program.
