What is a Model Program?

Beginning a new year with fresh talent. RefleKTion formally introduces our Associates to you as we welcome a revived 2022, open to opportunity and reinvention.

Welcome back and hello 2022! We hope to find you well and that this year met you happily and peacefully.

The new year inspires us all to begin fresh and what better way to greet the year than by introducing our newest talent and the RefleKTion Safe + Sustainable Model Program.

What is the Model Program?

Our program consists of ambitious trainees, all licensed cosmetologists, that have already completed beauty school and commit to an additional year of training with our senior stylists and industry leaders to prefect their talent and craft. While enrolled in our in-house education program they are required to complete multiple models on services ranging from keratins, all haircuts, all color services, styling, extensions and up dos. Each associate attends bi-weekly classes specifically designed to educate them on all the skills necessary to produce the finest services in color, cut and styling. In these classes, they participate in demonstrations as well as hand on training by our senior stylists.

What is the difference between being a model and a client?

As a client you are being treated to the full-service capabilities by fully trained stylists who have earned the KTP stamp of approval. As a model you are being worked on by stylists in training. These stylists are licensed cosmetologists that are honing their skills to be KTP approved. As a model you should expect for the process to take longer and have multiple hands in your hair as a master stylist will oversee and check all progress and work that is being done. Associates take clients on their Opportunity days. The program is perfect for students or anyone who is understanding of the extending timing to enjoy to benefits of our program pricing.
