The level system is standard across the hair industry and helps our guests pick which stylist is best for their needs and budget! As stylists get further in their career and advance their skills, their level moves up to reflect their expertise and pricing.

Yuri completed Hair's Inn's most recent level up! After over a decade in the industry, Yuri has reached the level of mastery, known as level 4. Stylists with even more experience may be level 4A, 4AA or 5. Other high level stylists at Hair’s Inn include Susan-Marie and Kari.

How are levels assigned?

• Associate: assisting other stylists
• Level 1: new stylist
• Level 2-3: mid-tier stylist
• Level 4+: master stylist

Stylists may start working at different levels at Hair’s Inn due to their past experience, or start as an associate. Associates may still be in cosmetology school or have recently graduated. They often assistant our other stylists and learn while on the job!

Once stylists can take their own guests, they are considered level 1. Because they’re still learning and may be slower, their pricing is the most affordable. This is a great option for our guests on a budget, or who want to help in stylist education!

Cold, dry weather can put stress on the health of our hair. Rain and humidity cause frizz and other issues. Hair's Inn's stylists weigh in on the best ways to keep hair healthy and tame for ordinary winter days and holiday events!

Lowlights

For high impact with minimal everyday effort, Mia, Grace and Anise all recommend getting lowlights. Your hair is naturally darker in the winter because of less sun, so mimicking that with your salon color services gives a subtle, real effect. The shadows and darker warm tones help bring life to your complexion when the weather can make you look washed out and pale. Ask about lowlights during your next color appointment!

Moisturize with styling products and treatments

Cold temperatures and wind can dry out hair even when keeping up with your regular regimen. This is why Anise and Grace think winter is the perfect time to add some moisture to your hair. Susan-Marie also recommends finding products that have both moisture and protein to maintain balance.

If your hair already feels dry and needs nourishment, Mia and Gabby recommend using a mask or treatment. There are options for at home, and also in the shampoo bowl at your next appointment. When you're in a rush, Susan-Marie's go-to is a product with a higher shine to brighten dull, dry hair.

Fall is a time of change. Leaves turn beautiful colors, our weather is getting colder and we recommend changing your hair too! Try adding a fun pop of color or maybe adding some rich, new lowlights. It’s a great way to change your hair seasonally!

If your hair is dry from exposure to the summer sun, sand and swimming, talk to your stylist about chlorine removal and deep conditioning to get back your hair’s moisture and shine. Let’s have some fun with the changing of the seasons!
