Stylist's prices are based on their experience, the amount of advanced education they have obtained and how long they have been with us (how busy they are; it's the old supply and demand thing you know).  In general, you pay more for experience and advanced training.   Stylists at Keith Kristofer are in Level I, II or III with III being the most experienced.   Feel free to request a stylist in the price range you are comfortable with.
