Is Your Assistant Slow AF? Let’s Talk Timing, Reps, and Reality
This one might hit a nerve… but we’re saying it anyway.
Assistants are SLOW in the beginning. That’s normal. That’s expected. That’s part of the process.
But here’s where things start to go sideways… They stay slow… and you start getting frustrated… without ever giving them a clear target to work toward.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between normal beginner slowness and a full-blown training gap… and what you need to fix ASAP if you want your assistants to actually improve.
We’re talking about:
Why “pick up the pace” is NOT real direction (and what to say instead)
The exact moment you should start focusing on speed in your training program
How reps + timing + pressure = confidence (and faster assistants)
The biggest mistake salon owners make when it comes to assistant growth
My simple system to build speed without sacrificing skill
Because here’s the truth… Speed is a skill. And skills are built with reps and clear expectations.
If you don’t have timing standards, structure, or urgency built into your training… you don’t have a “slow assistant” problem— You have a system problem.
And we’re fixing that today.
