Questions from salons & spas owners
Do booth renters count toward the employee cap?
The grant covers W-2 employees. Booth renters are typically independent contractors and are not eligible for reimbursement, but your W-2 staff and owners on payroll are.
Is this useful if I already use a booking system?
Yes. The training layers AI on top of whatever system you use — the workflows are built around your existing tools.
How much of my week does the training take?
Courses are live, online and scheduled in short sessions so a working owner can attend between clients.
