Hi, I have been in the industry for 25+ years and have had a few assistants here and there. I would love to really invest in an assistant program for my salon. I would like to get my hands on an actual system that could help in the process, something that would help me be organized and strategic. I loved your approach and all the info you shared, please let me know if you have any suggestions. My salon is in Northern California. Thank you for your time Christy
I know there are a number of hairstylists in your area that do provide a business coaching program. They would be able to setup a specific assistant program for you. Hope this helps!
I just hired my newest assistant a couple weeks ago. I actually have my old assistant training the newest one for six weeks. While this added cost can seem redundant it is crucial to a smooth transition. Let me know if you have any questions. I am always here to help!
very good video just what i was looking for....for the first time im thinking about hiring an assistant, i had commision based employees but never an assistant, just one thing salary? how do i pay an assistant? thank you
I have always paid an assistant as a contractor, not an employee. They get a competitive hourly rate plus a weekly cash tip out. I pay them directly through my business account using Zelle. I guess you could also just write them a business check each week. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in!
I pay a competitive hourly rate for Southern California plus a tip out at the end of each week. As a side note, because my assistant is not an W2 employee I am not required to pay minimum wage. I figure there is a lot of value to my education program, access to clients and a weekly tip out. Hope this helps!
This is a difficult question to answer because it is dependent on specific regional factors such as minimum wage. In general, I pay above minimum wage with an additional tip out weekly. Hope that helps!

Are you coming back soon?
Is your assistant paid as w2 or independent contractor ?
My assistant is paid as an independent contractor. I find it much easier and less expensive to pay assistants this way. Great question!
How much do you pay your assistant or full time employee

I've done both. You just need to figure out which one is best for your business.
