Adagio For Hair offers different levels of service pricing based on our Service Providers level of education, demand of time and skill set experience. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that our guests completely understand our service price menu and the level of the Service Provider they will be seeing in order to provide the very best guest experience. Careful consultations, prior to reserving the service, are required by all who reserve services for our guests. In order to properfully match the guest with both the correct Service Provider for their service and the service requested , the guests hair and skin type, condition and salon services prices must be explored prior to reserving the service. In doing so, the salon company will retain a loyal and happy client base and thriving career experience for our salon employees. Please remember:

Adagio For Hair does not have a certain number of years you must work before promotions to higher levels.  We do not base our prices on how many YEARS A SERVICE PROVIDER HAS BEEN IN THEIR CAREER.

Definition of Service Providers Qualifications Of Levels The complete understanding of how to properly reserve guests with the correct stylist and budget for their service begins by having thorough knowledge of the definitions of  our Service Providers credentials which qualifies them for their respective level. The level qualifications are based on the Service Providers:

• EDUCATION
•  DEMAND OF TIME 
• EXPERIENCE IN THEIR SKILL SETS

Education: the amount of time the Service Provider has invested in their career in order to obtain a state license to practice, and may include ANY additional training certifications in techniques, workshops, and classes in order to better perform their services.

Demand Of Time: the amount of time a Service Provider has been reserved for guests services. The more “open” or “less booked” they are means they have MORE availability, whereas a more seasoned service provider may be less “open” and have a majority of their time previously reserved. Most  Senior and Master Service Providers are reserved for the year in advance as the majority of their clients return on a regular basis. These Service Providers will generally have less time for same day appointments and new guests, although it is important that they continue to add new guests to their base.

Stylist Experience: DOES NOT REFER TO HOW LONG THEY HAVE “BEEN DOING HAIR”, or any other service they perform. Stylist Experience, at Adagio For Hair, refers to their level of competency in a service. For example: it is common for a Stylist to be very skilled at a Balayage because of time invested in educating and perfecting their skill set in that service. This may have occurred in many ways but may include many hours of hands-on practice, video instruction, workshops and professional classes. At any rate the Stylist is highly proficient although may have only been “licensed and doing hair” a very short time.
