At Summit Salon Business Center, we have developed the industry's leading new talent onboarding and training program. Do you want to learn how to create a triple-win with your new hires?
Why An Associate Program?
Building a dedicated, talented and excited team is every owners dream; yet recruiting, and retaining service providers in the "new normal" is not as easy as as it used to be. The best and brightest are looking for a top notch on-boarding and education program. Why not give them a "masters degree" in how to deliver an exceptional guest experience while launching their career faster, better and STRONGER! Check out our upcoming ASSOCIATE PROGRAM: ESSENTIAL workshops. These workshops are held throughout the country, and are a prerequisite for all additional associate training.

The Happiness Project.
Summit is a happiness project that continues to impact thousands in the professional beauty industry through its consistent approach to coaching and mentoring a team to achieve their own definition of happiness. As salon leaders, we tend to project our definition of happiness on our employees. In some ways, it is a natural process that occurs due to a shared vision and values. In other instances, it can cause unnecessary conflict or undue pressure due to the various stages of the employee's personal life. To stay dialed in and create a positive culture, consistently ask your team a straightforward question, "what makes you happy?"

Next-Gen Stylists: Do You Know How to Recruit Them?
Heather Bagby, Vice President
We have been discussing recruitment at an elevated level since 2020. As new generations enter the workforce, companies and leaders must embrace new ways of recruiting and onboarding talent. A common reaction to new ways of working is frustration, angst, and abandonment. Many companies decided that training and recruiting require more effort than the reward, only to realize that lack of training and recruitment stagnates growth, cash-flow, and promotes the hostage syndrome. A classic chicken/egg conundrum.
As in most relationships, first impressions make up 80% of the future success rate. When it comes to recruiting, are you doing it wrong?
