What is a level system?
The primary goals of our Salon Level System within TKO Salon is to provide a career path of growth and achievement for team members and to offer several options for our guests to meet their diverse needs when it comes to salon services. Guests may choose the stylist/level that compliments their requests from skill set to education, and budget.

During this period, they are assisting TKO Salon Educators/ Master stylists to learn advanced skills, improve efficiency and learn our specific TKO Salon procedures, while servicing their own guests (models) a few hours per week.

A stylist who has completed their initial TKO Salon Training under our master stylists and Local classes.
