With a nod to 70s soul and modern luxury, we’ve created a space that feels both intentional and welcoming—where every guest experience is customized, unrushed, and rooted in connection. We specialize in luxury hair extensions and advanced color services, offering a wide range of extension methods including K-Tips, beaded sew-in wefts, Combline, and hidden beaded row techniques. Every service begins with an in-depth consultation so we can align your hair goals with your lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and budget—because great hair should feel as good as it looks. Cosmos is proudly mother-and-daughter owned and operated, and education is at the heart of everything we do. Our salon operates on a tiered service level system, with pricing and booking based on each stylist’s experience, education, and skill level. This structure allows guests to choose the level that best fits their goals while supporting ongoing growth and excellence within our team. Throughout their journey at Cosmos, stylists train under and shadow a lead mentor, gaining hands-on experience through guided services, duo appointments, and continued education. This ensures consistency, elevated standards, and exceptional care at every service level—while allowing our team to grow with confidence and intention. Beyond beautiful hair, we’re known for our attention to detail, thoughtful amenities, and genuine hospitality. From complimentary beverages to personalized care plans, our goal is for every guest to leave feeling seen, supported, and confident. At Cosmos, it’s more than hair—it’s community, growth, and a little bit of magic. 🌿 Service Levels & Pricing — FAQs ✨ Why does Cosmos have service levels? Cosmos operates as a mentor-led salon, which means our stylists grow through hands-on education, shadowing, and continued training. Our service levels are based on each stylist’s experience, education, and technical skill, allowing us to offer exceptional service at a variety of price points while supporting ongoing growth within our team. ⸻ Are lower-level stylists less qualified? Not at all. Every stylist at Cosmos is professionally trained and supported by lead mentors. Stylists in developing levels often work alongside or under the guidance of a mentor, especially during advanced services. This ensures consistency, quality, and a great experience at every level. ⸻ How do I choose the right level for me? That depends on your goals! • If you’re looking for more budget-friendly options or maintenance services, a developing stylist may be a great fit. • If you’re seeking advanced color corrections, large extension installs, or highly customized transformations, a higher-level stylist may be recommended. If you’re unsure, our team is always happy to guide you toward the best option for your needs. ⸻ Why do prices vary between levels? Pricing reflects a stylist’s experience, speed, demand, and advanced certifications. As stylists progress through our mentorship program, pricing increases to reflect their growth and expertise—while still maintaining Cosmos’ service standards at every level. ⸻ Will my service take longer with a developing stylist? Some services with developing stylists may take slightly longer, as part of their growth includes refining speed and technique. That said, all services are performed with care, intention, and mentor support when needed. ⸻ Are consultations different at each level? No. Every guest receives a thorough consultation, regardless of stylist level. Your goals, lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and budget are always discussed before any service begins. ⸻ Can I switch levels or stylists in the future? Absolutely. Many guests move between levels depending on their current goals, availability, or budget. We’re happy to recommend the best stylist for you at any time. ⸻ Do mentors check or assist during appointments? Yes—especially for advanced services. Mentors are available for guidance, support, and quality checks as part of our education-focused environment. ⸻ Does booking a higher level guarantee better results? All levels deliver high-quality results. Higher levels may offer more advanced techniques, faster service times, and extensive customization, but excellence and care are consistent across the Cosmos team. ⸻ Still not sure which level to book? We’ve got you covered 💫 Feel free to reach out, or book a consultation—our team will help match you with the stylist and level that best fits your hair goals.
