In this Smart Tan exclusive interview, David shares his perspective on this area of need he\u2019s identified while working with salons around the country.  Q: Why do you think some salons have problems hiring quality employees?  A: What\u2019s dawned on me is how everybody is so into the aesthetics of the salon and marketing to get customers, but they don\u2019t pay enough attention to marketing for talent \u2013 marketing for who\u2019s working there. When I clear away all the gripes and complaints, 99 percent of salon problems are the who, not the what and the how. It\u2019s the who that separates good from bad.
