Plan the role. Protect the profit. Build the team.
A practical workbook for salon owners who want to hire profitably, not emotionally. Work through it with real numbers and you will know whether to hire, and what that hire must earn.
- Before You Hire — a readiness checklist and your baseline numbers.
- What an Assistant Actually Costs — wages, taxes, training, and tools, all year.
- The $80,000 Calculator — turn small capacity gains into an annual revenue target.
- Revenue Drivers — where the money actually comes from.
- Revenue vs. Time Audit — track your day in 15-minute blocks and find the leaks.
- The Revenue Replacement Exercise — turn minutes saved into guests served.
- The Systems Checklist — the twelve systems a profitable hire needs.
- Final Decision & 30-Day Action Plan — one clear call, and the next four weeks.
Hire from demand, not desperation. The goal is a profitable position with a clear reason to exist.

I built this workbook for the salon owners I coach, so the decision to hire comes from real numbers instead of burnout. Work through it honestly and you will have your answer.
