In this “Dear Messy” episode, Abby and Kelsey team up to answer a message from a nail tech who’s opening a full salon — but struggling to find the right team.

Together, they unpack practical, creative, and realistic ways to approach hiring in 2025, including:

  • How to brand your salon to attract stylists who fit
  • Why building relationships is more effective than cold job posts
  • The power of reaching out in your local community (yes, old-school works!)
  • Creative ideas beyond Indeed: school visits, open house, and meet & greets
  • Strategies for the short game and long-term growth

If you’re building a team or dreaming of opening your own salon one day, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to start strong.
