Whether you have never worked with an associate before, or you've been a trainer for years and are looking to update your methods, this episode is for you! Not only do associates provide an extra pair of hands, but they provide the opportunity to book more guests, maximize productivity, and help your salon run like a well-oiled machine. 

Our guest Molly Limes Getz is a Senior Educator and Partner at Soto Signature Salon and Spa in Perrysburg, Ohio. She's also a Redken Artist, a Sam Villa Ambassador, and co-host of Detangled Podcast. 

Molly and host Blake Reed Evans both started as associates, and work with associates daily behind the chair. In this high-energy interview, they cover recruitment, onboarding, how to introduce new associates to guests, and so much more.
