Tawna Rodgers

"It used to take a year, now it takes three months. My associates are supremely confident and so am I."

-- Tawna Rodgers, Aura Salon

"Salon Associate Accelerator has made it exponentially faster to get my associates working on the floor. Within 2 weeks they are supporting stylists so we have time for upsells and more bookings."

-- Holly Fox, Metropolitan Salon & Spa

The Training Trap

Most salons suffer an endless cycle – they hire, they train the essentials, and stylists leave when things start to feel stale. Owners feel trapped between training and their own chair, with no time to actually build the business.

Recognize these Little Voices in your head?

Stepping away from my chair is hard.

Whenever I take time away from the chair all I can think about is the lost revenue.

Made To Protect YOUR Time

Finding time to train is hard.

We are too busy for a separate training program. They pick it all up as a shadow.

Self-Driven Training

• Video-based, needs no supervision
• Supporting stylists in two weeks
• New revenue-driving skills with every assessment
• Free up time for stylists to book and upsell
START FOR FREE

Seeing them leave is hard.

I spend a ton of money and time on my people and it crushes me when they leave for some other opportunity.

Erase Team Turnover

People don't leave over money. They leave because they feel unfulfilled.
The Accelerator drives goal achievement at every level, and your stylists will have you to thank for it.

Hiring the right people is hard.

It's hard to find people that are a good fit for our culture, never mind having the right skills.

Bulet-Proof Hiring Assessment

The included Initial Evaluation lets you know whether someone is a good fit for your salon -- personality AND skills -- before you hire them.
START FOR FREE

Maintaining standards is hard.

As a shadow they can pick up bad habits or even come up with new ones. They get too busy, or too bored. Stuff gets left out.

Gold Standards Built Right In

The Accelerator trains your team to confidently hit the mark every time, and to take pride in that high standard. The default is excellence.

Affording help is hard.

I can't afford to pay an education manager so I'm doing my best on my own.

Profit the Moment You Start

"Speed to floor" is the core principle here. Every passed assessment means associates are ready to take over more tasks, unlocking more revenue (and more, and more...)

The Fact Is

if you keep doing the same thing
you will keep getting the same result.
There is no reason to expect things will improve
unless you change something
  1. Trust someone else to do the training?
  2. Bring in a new training system?
  3. Train the whole team to meet gold standards every time?
  4. Spend less time behind your chair?
  5. All of the above. HOW?

Hire the Right People Every Time

Bullet-Proof Hiring

Ever hire someone for their experience, and two weeks later you’ve realized it’s just a bad fit? How about a standardized evaluation that gives you a clear picture of their skills AND their personality?

Guided Learning

Always Levelling Up

Indispensable Color and Indispensable Design & Finishing are made for independent learning and practice. Educators have tons more time for the rest of the team and for more bookings.

Group Leaders can track the progress of associates through the program in real time. You’ll know if someone is struggling with a quiz, or if they’re ready for the next Assessment. It’s all in the Help Guide for Teams

We think owners should be focused on building the business, not training, so we made a video-based program associates can use on their own anywhere they can set up a mannequin – in the salon and at home. Educators just need to check the work and offer feedback.

Or faster! Most salons spend 6-12 months apprenticing or shadowing. We applied the experience of more than 40 years of world-class training to create this program. Our associates are covering support services in two weeks and taking their own clients with confidence in 3 months.
It’s true. The system focuses on principles – key skills that apply to ALL hair situations. This gives them a powerfully versatile skillset right from the start. And as they pass each assessment you can confidently bring them clients for that service. Associates are supporting and even driving revenue far faster than you ever thought possible.
Well, if we’re being honest, it’s faster than that. They start taking over tasks from your other stylists inside two weeks, so almost immediately there’s more time available for more bookings and upsells. And the more skills they learn, the more they take over…
This is where the gotcha usually goes, right? Nope. We over-deliver like crazy. Each associate needs 2 or 3 mannequin heads plus one that won’t get cut. Other than that… I don’t know, what are your hobbies?

"Just wanted to let you know how well your program is going in our salon. It's allowing us to get associates on the floor in half the time. Thank you!"
