Meet the Business Owner

Karie B. and Rob W.

Business Owner

Atelier Salon has a long history in the South Bay. The first Atelier was opened 18 years ago by Karie Bennett, a Master Artist with 34 years in the beauty industry, 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 unheard of in the salon industry: 401k, paid time off, and medical/​dental/​vision coverage.

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
