Sound familiar?
- When a good technician leaves, their clients leave too, with no warning.
- Keeps people only by raising commission, so each save costs more than the last.
- No career rungs are written down, so nobody knows what the next three months hold.
- Trains newcomers by having them watch, and whoever is free that day does the teaching.
After reading, you can
Help a salon owner keep good technicians with a visible path, not reactive commission bumps.
Each chapter answers one question
Chapter 1: When a stylist quits, do I lose staff or clients?
What does it really cost my salon when one technician quits?
The cost of replacing someone lies in the clients who follow them and the three months the salon runs below capacity, not in the job ad.
Chapter 2: Can a strong résumé tell me how someone actually works?
Which three things must my new hire be able to do in the very first month?
Hire on certificates and years of experience, and two people with the same résumé still produce two different results.
Chapter 3: What is my commission split really teaching my team?
What is my pay split encouraging stylists to do?
The way commission is split teaches stylists what to prioritise, more strongly than any instruction.
Chapter 4: Do good stylists leave for money, or no next step?
Do my stylists know what they need to do to reach the next level?
Good people leave because they cannot see the next step, rarely because of a few points of commission.
Chapter 5: Why does one goodbye unsettle everyone who stays?
When a stylist gives notice, what do I do over the next two weeks?
How you part ways decides what those who stay think, and whether that person's clients stay or go.
