Points and Levels

We offer 6 levels within the program: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Cobalt, plus an invite only, Black level for our most elite salons. Please visit the brand’s website or contact your sales consultant and/or Member Services for more information about the Black level. Upon enrollment, you will start in the bronze level. Once you meet the next level’s purchase criteria, we will automatically upgrade you to the next level (with the exception of the Black level). Click here to view the program levels. You will earn points by purchasing eligible brands from participating distributors.
02
How soon do I begin earning points once I’ve enrolled in the program?
You will begin earning points once your membership is completed with all required information: email address, salon address, and distributor account(s). If all required information is entered at time of enrollment, you will be enrolled that same day and start earning points immediately. You will also receive points for the purchases you made 30 days prior to enrollment (expect to see these points posted up to one month after enrollment).
03
How much do I have to spend before I start earning points?
You will begin earning points on all purchases once you successfully enroll in the program.
04
How long do I stay in a level?
You will stay in your level for the remainder of the year. If your purchases move you to a higher level, you will be in that tier for the remainder of the current year and through December 31 of the following year - at which point your actual spend will be evaluated and you will be placed into the appropriate tier for the following year.
For example, you sign up in May 2023 and are automatically enrolled into Bronze. Once you buy $5,000 during 2023, you will be upgraded to Silver for the rest of 2023 and through 12/31/2024. If you have not spent $5,000 in 2024, you will be moved back down to Bronze starting Jan 1, 2025.
