At Varuna Aveda Salon Spa, a promotion represents much more than time behind the chair. It recognizes advanced technical skill, continued education, consistent guest experiences, professional growth, and a meaningful contribution to our team.
Today, we are proud to celebrate six talented Varuna artists as they reach the next level in their careers.
Caitlin, Natasha, Gina, and Garrett have been promoted to Master Stylist. Sarah and Marita have been promoted to Senior Stylist.
Each artist has followed a different path and developed a distinct approach to the craft. What connects them is their commitment to creating beautiful, personalized results while making every guest feel heard, cared for, and confident.
Caitlin: Master Stylist
With more than a decade of experience, Caitlin has become known for her artistic approach to hair color. She specializes in head-turning blondes, seamless highlights, lived-in color, and customized transformations designed around each guest.
Her precision, creativity, and intuitive understanding of color have made her one of Varuna’s most sought-after color specialists. Caitlin is also an accomplished makeup artist who enjoys creating complete looks that help her guests feel confident and empowered.

What Varuna Stylist Levels Represent
Our stylist levels reflect an artist’s education, experience, technical development, guest demand, and professional growth. They are not a measure of how much one artist cares compared with another. Every Varuna stylist is trained to provide thoughtful consultations, personalized recommendations, and an exceptional guest experience.
Advancement is earned through consistent performance, continued education, and a demonstrated commitment to both our guests and our team.
These six promotions give us plenty to celebrate. We are proud of Caitlin, Natasha, Gina, Garrett, Sarah, and Marita and grateful to the guests who have supported their growth along the way.
Please join us in congratulating our newly promoted Master and Senior Stylists. We look forward to seeing where their talent takes them next.
