Keep score together. Share in a verified outcome. Birdhaven is building a salon where stylists do excellent work **and understand the business they help build**. The salon provides systems, booking channels, tools and support; stylists bring their craft, judgement and care. > **Status:** This is the working model we are building, not an employment contract or an approved bonus plan. Your signed agreement and any approved sharing rules contain your actual terms. ## The three parts 1. [Learn how the business works](/birdhaven-team-offer/how-we-work/learn-the-business) — understand how a service becomes a sustainable salon result. 2.

[Share in the outcome](/birdhaven-team-offer/how-we-work/share-the-outcome) — ordinary pay stays separate; any team pool follows approved rules and a verified result. ## The practical details - [Who Does What](/birdhaven-team-offer/how-we-work/who-does-what) explains what stylists and management each own. - [What Must Be Put in Writing](/birdhaven-team-offer/how-we-work/written-terms) separates this explanation from your actual agreement.
