Designer Levels FAQ

designer levels

Our designers level of competency or creativity is not necessarily related to the years of experience he or she has. This is a common misconception. The training our team receives is aggressive, consistent, innovative and in-depth. It starts from the moment they are hired and continues through their entire career with us.


At Anasa Hair Studio, our service providers achieve promotions based on several factors. These factors include guest satisfaction, guest retention, performance, and education.

LEVEL 1- PROTÉGÉ DESIGNER

Protégé Designers have completed cosmetology school, are licensed cosmetologists in the state of California, and are completing our introductory new-hire training program. They are available to offer services once they pass their technical exam at our salon. They collaborate with elder stylists for every hair color consultation, to ensure the proper formulas and color placement patterns. When you schedule an appointment with a Protégé Designer, trust that they are all qualified, but will take a little bit longer to perform their service. Prices for Protégé Designers services are less than any other level due to this factor.

If you are someone who’s compassionate to help, get a great price, and grow with your Stylist, then an Protégé Designer may be the best fit for you!

LEVEL 2- HAIR DESIGNER

As Hairdressers transition out of the Protégé level, they become a Hair Designer. At this point, they’re building regular guests and pushing themselves to learn more, as they progress to the next level. Hair Designers are competent in performing hair cutting and hair coloring services, and are working on building more confidence as they perfect their skills. At this point it’s all about gaining more and more experience behind the chair; should they need assistance, they will not be afraid to work with our Team and ask another Hairdresser for input.

In order to allocate the proper amount of time, all first time guests booking a color service, must have a consultation PRIOR to scheduling an appointment, either in salon, or by clicking on New Clients button
