SOUND FAMILIAR?
You hired someone great.
Now what exactly do you hand them?
Most salon owners are excellent at their craft. Running a team is a completely different skill — and nobody hands you a manual for that part.
You know what you expect. You know how things should run. Getting all of that out of your head and into a new hire's hands, clearly and professionally, on day one — that's where things get complicated.
The Salon New Hire Onboarding Packet was built to solve exactly that.
The moments nobody warns you about.
Every document in this packet was designed to prevent a real situation — the kind that costs you time, credibility, or sleep.
01
The 6:47am text. Your new assistant texts "sick" with no other information — forty minutes before her first client. You never told her what calling out actually required.
03
The well-meaning apprentice. She jumps into a color consultation with an enthusiastic suggestion — the opposite of what the stylist just recommended. She had no idea she'd pulled the rug out from under her.
02
The 3:45 wind-down. Your new stylist starts wiping her station and checking her phone at 3:45. Nobody defined what "end of day" actually meant in your salon.
04
The brush incident. Your stylist grabs a brush still covered in her last client's hair and keeps moving. A state board violation hiding in plain sight — on your watch.
05
The friendly overshare. Your new hire mentions a client's color situation to the next person in her chair, just making conversation. She thought she was being warm. You know what it actually was.

FROM THE FOUNDER
32 years behind the chair.
10 of them running a team.
In that time I made every onboarding mistake there is — not because I didn't care, but because nobody ever handed me a system.
So I built one.
Every document in this packet came out of a real situation — something I lived, something I watched go sideways, something I wished I'd had in writing before it became a conversation I dreaded having. I've done the work so you don't have to.
Your next new hire deserves a great first 30 days. So do you.
