Powered by aha!hire + Salon Cadence
A Simple, Scalable Way to Attract, Nurture & Hire the Right Salon Talent
Hiring shouldn’t feel chaotic. Whether you're searching for stylists, estheticians, or guest-care/front desk talent, the Dream Hire EngineTM gives you a plug-and-play system designed specifically for salons — so you can hire with confidence, consistency, and zero overwhelm.
Why Most Salons Struggle to Hire
It’s not a lack of talent.
It’s a lack of clarity, structure, and ongoing visibility.
Salons typically face challenges like:
Job posts that blend into the noise
No dedicated funnel to nurture warm talent
Time wasted on unqualified candidates
High turnover and inconsistent culture fit
Reliance on “post and pray” hiring
Starting from zero every time a role opens
When your hiring system is unclear, the right candidates can’t find you—or don’t choose you.
The Salon Cadence Hiring Engine fixes all of that.

- Estheticians
- Nail techs
- Front desk / guest-care staff
- Assistants / apprentices
- Salon managers
If you have a different role, we can still support it.
How long does the setup take?
Most salons complete the one-time setup within 7–10 business days, depending on how quickly you provide details for your roles. After that, your hiring system is live and ready.

You can choose the Nurture-Only plan.
This keeps:
- Your salon profile live
- Your candidate database active
- Light nurture running
- Your ATS + one-way video tool available

Do I need to be a Salon Cadence member to access this?
Yes. The Hiring Engine is available exclusively to Salon Cadence members as part of the partnership.
What if my salon is brand new or very small?
The Hiring Engine works for salons of all sizes.
New and growing salons benefit the most because they often lack a predictable hiring process — and this gives them one immediately.
What if I’m not tech-savvy?
Everything is set up for you.
You’ll get simple, clear instructions and support so you can run the system without stress. If you can check email, you can use the Hiring Engine.
Can I cancel or pause the subscription?
Yes. You can downgrade or cancel Active Sourcing with 30 days’ notice. Many salons scale between active sourcing and nurture-only depending on their season.
What happens after I sign up?
You’ll receive a short onboarding form to gather role information.
From there:
1. We set up your job posts, ATS, one-way video, and nurture flow
2. You review and approve
3. Your Hiring Engine goes live
4. If you add Active Sourcing, candidates begin arriving in your pipeline within the first 2–4 weeks
