## Resource

For most salon owners, the dream is simple: hire a stylist, keep them happy, and watch them stay with the team forever. But let's be real. That "forever" goal is incredibly rare, and more often than not, the systems we have in place are the very things driving new talent right out the door. Today I shed some light on why the industry's "normal" way of training is actually hurting your chances of keeping a team.
