You already know training is expensive. You just can't see the bill.
Every new stylist needs months of in-salon development. That means your best educator - off the floor, not earning - teaching one person at a time. Around 180 hours per hire. And with the industry's retention rates, most of them leave before it ever pays off.
That's about $36,000 in lost floor revenue per hire - and $144,000 for every stylist you actually keep.

ApprenticePro didn't start as software. It started with Alyssa — our Chief Compliance Officer, Director of Education, and a partner in our business. She was our best trainer, which meant every hour she spent developing a new stylist was an hour of her high-value work lost. The math that runs this whole page? We calculated it around her.
So we built ApprenticePro to standardize what Alyssa did one-on-one — keeping her behind the chair and earning, while every new hire still got a consistent, proven path. She helped build the program herself. That means you're not getting a founder's guess at training. You're getting a real Director of Education's system, ready to run.
We built this to keep our best educator behind the chair.
