Atelier Salon & Barber Shop, AVEDA

Atelier Salon has a long history in the South Bay.
The first Atelier was opened 18 years ago by Karie Bennett, a Master Artist who celebrated her 35th year in the beauty industry in 2016, in downtown Los Altos. Five years later, in 2002, the AVEDA Corporation offered her the chance of a lifetime: to open Atelier Salon, the flagship AVEDA lifestyle salon at Santana Row.
Since then, Atelier has opened a second beautiful location at the Row: Atelier Studio.
Multiple salon business awards later, Atelier was expanding rapidly, creating over 40 jobs in the South Bay, offering Atelier employees benefits uncommon in the salon industry.

In 2011, Rob Willis joined Atelier as General Manager, bringing his experience in the banking and spa world. Under his leadership, Atelier took another big leap forward, advancing the Atelier mission of 5 star customer service.
Now over 50 employees, Atelier is nationally recognized as one of the Top 200 salons by Salon Today magazine, and is one of the Aveda Corporation's top salons in the country. Both Karie and Rob have been speakers for industry conferences on topics of salon management, salon marketing, and customer service.

The true secret to this growth and success is a salon culture built on education and teamwork, and the belief that happy employees create happy customers.
Atelier's mission is to give salon employees as many opportunities for growth and success as they can. We also provide benefits unheard of in the salon industry, like medical/dental/vision coverage, 401k with a company match, paid sick time, and free education. Atelier takes care of the business, so our artists can take care of you. This freedom allows them to focus on their craft.

Atelier Salon & Barber Shop is the only Aveda salon in Willow Glen. We use Aveda botanical hair color, which is naturally derived from plant and flower extracts and is damage free. Let us show you what we're all about. Happy team, happy clients!
