#74- Why No Good Stylists Are Applying: And What To Do About It

About this episode

Michelle Tanner discusses the reasons why good stylists are not applying to salons and offers strategies to attract the right candidates.

If you feel like no good stylists are applying to your salon, you’re not alone. But it’s probably not a hiring problem. It’s an attraction problem. In this episode, I break down why the stylists you actually want aren’t applying, what most salon owners are getting wrong, and how I’ve shifted my strategy to start attracting the right people instead.
