I've been twice to Dimensions, must of had LEVEL 1 stylists because both times were terrible. Why would a salon hire someone who doesn't know what they're doing? Why would a customer choose them?

I'm just not getting this.
No, it's not just a Village thing. :-). I have found the practice in Calf, Texas, and Georgia. It was usually a practice in very large salons. The intent is that the higher level stylist have more experience and continuing education. It's like getting a raise for moving up the ranks. Hopefully the higher level stylist will be more talented but don't count on it. It actually seems fair to me. I would not want to be the best and most experienced stylist and keep making the same salary year after year. No, I am not or ever have been a hair stylist.
