The Lab and our levels

Who stands at the chair with us, and how they got there.

With us you do not learn by watching. Anyone who starts in the Lab works on guests, but only once they can. From there a ladder leads upwards, rung by rung, and every rung is tied to an assessment. This page tells you who stands on which level, what that means for your appointment and what it costs.

The levels

Five levels, one house.

The level does not say whether someone is good. It says what they answer for. Under each level you see who works there.

  1. Lab · Junior Stylist

    In training with us. Approval is given one by one, per service, after a passed in-house assessment. What is bookable has been passed. Appointments are scheduled longer, and an experienced colleague accompanies the work.

    Tap a name and book directly with that person.

  2. Stylist

    Fully trained, works independently across the whole craft: cut, colour, finish. The advanced training is still to come, the skill is there.

    Tap a name and book directly with that person.

  3. Master Stylist

    Has completed the advanced training and takes on what is difficult: colour corrections, transformations, hair with a history. Helps train in-house.

    Tap a name and book directly with that person.

  4. Creative Director

    Cut and colour at the highest level, at least twenty years at the chair. Sets the line of the house and is the last instance when a colour did not turn out the way it should.

    Tap a name and book directly with that person.

  5. Director

    Runs the salon and holds the house together: training, quality, the signature in the cut. Stands at the chair himself.

    Tap a name and book directly with that person.

Alongside the levels, the barber: Elijah is Senior Barber and Stylist for men. For men the whole craft from classic haircut and fade to shave and beard, plus grey blending and highlights.

For highlighting techniques Elizabeta, Göksu, Pascal and Maryna are there: highlights, baby highlights and balayage.

How an approval comes about

Every service has its own assessment, and none is given away.

A junior is not approved across the board with us. Every service begins with an internal test in the house; whoever passes it is approved for exactly that one service, and for no other. It starts with the root colour and grows from there: colour, highlights, cut, balayage.

Alongside that, training continues outside, on external courses, across all areas. If you can book a service with a junior stylist, the assessment for it has been passed. What is not approved does not even appear as an option in the online booking.

And someone is watching. An experienced colleague accompanies the work and looks at the result before you leave. The responsibility for what you carry out of the salon stays in the house.

What that means for the price

The price follows the person, not the other way round.

The same service, the same colours, the same care. What differs is the hand and the time. Three examples, as of September 2026.

All services and prices are on the price page. In the online booking you first choose the person, then the service.

Frequently asked questions

What guests ask about the Lab, before they book.

Do you also have more affordable appointments?

Yes. Our junior stylists work in the Lab, and there the same service costs less, for example the root colour at CHF 75 instead of CHF 110. Only what the person has been assessed and approved for is bookable in the Lab. It is not a different product and not a different colour, but a different hand and more time. Whoever books there gets someone at the start of a path, accompanied by an experienced colleague.

How do I know that a junior stylist can do it?

Because otherwise they would not be bookable. Every service has its own in-house assessment with us. Whoever passes it is approved for exactly that service, and for no other. What can be selected in the online booking has been passed.

Does an appointment in the Lab take longer?

Yes, it is scheduled longer. Not because something goes wrong, but because calm is part of learning. Anyone who has to be finished in their lunch break is better off booking an experienced stylist.

What is the difference between Master Stylist and Stylist?

The advanced training and what someone takes on. Stylists are fully trained and work independently across the whole craft. Master Stylists have trained further on top of that and take on what is difficult: colour corrections, transformations, hair with a history. They help train in-house.

Can I choose the person myself?

Yes. In the online booking you first choose the person, then the service. The price follows the person. If you are unsure who suits you, call us or book the first styling appointment: then we call you beforehand and schedule the right person with enough time.
