Abstract

This article examines the challenges of employee training and onboarding in the beauty industry as salon networks expand, including high employee turnover, inconsistencies in stylist training quality, and rising recruitment costs. It makes the case for standardizing training through a learning management system (LMS) that brings together educational materials, hands-on training, and professional skills assessment. The article analyzes the impact of digital training on the time it takes employees to reach target productivity levels, early-stage employee turnover, and client retention rates. It concludes that implementing an LMS can improve operational control and support business growth, provided that its economic effectiveness is evaluated using actual performance data.


Keywords: Beauty Industry, Training Standardization, Learning Management System (LMS), Human Resource Management, Employee Onboarding, Unit Economics, Business Scaling.
