Cost to train a colorist / cutter
Placing a newly trained colorist on the salon floor was estimated to cost about $13,000, and a cutter about $10,000, with salons not recouping the full training investment until years three to four.
Average daily training cost was put at $1,150; most turnover happens in the first three years.
