Is the first month really free?
I CAN TRAIN MY ASSOCIATES WITH NO CATCH?
Yes, It’s Really Free—Here’s Why!
We get it—when something sounds too good to be true, skepticism kicks in. But the Salon Associate Accelerator truly offers a one-month free trial with no hidden charges.
🔹 Why the Code? – It helps us track who’s accessing the program and ensures only serious users get in.
🔹 Why Enter a Credit Card? – This is just for account setup. You won’t be charged during your free trial.
🔹 No Surprise Charges! – If you decide the program isn’t for you, simply cancel before your trial ends—you won’t pay a dime.
This is your chance to train smarter, not harder—at zero cost. 🚀

FAQ FROM SALON OWNERS
- Invite your associate by email straight from the Group Management panel
- Have three mannequin heads ready to go (that’s all you’ll need)
- Check the first page of the Educators Edition so you know what to expect
After you sign up we’ll send you a short series of emails that make it super (SUPER) easy to roll out the program in your salon. And support is always available with the Help Guide for Teams or Book a call.
We think owners should be focused on building the business, not training, so this video-based program that does all the heavy lifting for you. All your educator has to do is check the work. Once you’re familiar with the system, your whole team will save countless hours even as your associates learn world-class skills twice as fast.
Other salons spend 6-12 months apprenticing or shadowing. We created this program with more than 40 years of world-class training experience focused on speed-to-floor skills you can use right away. Our associates are covering support services in two weeks and confidently taking their own clients in 3 months.
It’s true. The Jump Start segment immediately delivers support services like color retouch & refresh, shampoo, blow dry, and irons. Then they learn best-practices for virgin color application and foils. And then they get versatile principle-based cutting and finishing skills. And the whole time they can be practicing with the videos. And faster than you dreamed possible you will be confident they are ready for clients.
No. It’s even faster than that. As soon as they’re covering support tasks for other stylists, you’ve got more time available for selling more services. And the more tasks they take over…..💥💵
This is where the gotcha usually comes, right? Nope. We over-delivered like crazy. You’ll want 2 or 3 mannequin heads for each associate… and that’s it.
