To all stylists. If you want to own your own salon or booth rent, have the guts to do it on your own, and don’t use a salon as your stepping stone. Here is the deal, if you work at a salon and they build you from scratch, don’t they get any credit. Even if you start to build by word of mouth, is it not still your job to do as many people as possible for the salon owner that risked everthing to carry you until you built up? With stylists it is always the same me, me, me. No ethics or loyalty.

hello, I wanted to comment on Jeff Snider’s situation. Currently, I am working as a commission hair stylists and have a 50/50 agreement as well. After recently doing my taxes however, I felt schisted. I’m still considered self employed even though i split all my profits. I have a consistent schedule and have managed to build up a large clientele, most of which have been word of mouth from current clients. I feel that I am already experiencing the drawbacks of booth rental without experiencing the perks. I give the salon almost three times what they charge for booth rental and frankly, I feel taken advantage of. I work my tail off and I love my salon but working as a commission hair stylist is holding me back from progressing. Once you get to a certain point in your career, working commission can be like swimming upstream.

It is pretty simple. I have been a salon owner for quite a few years and realize most stylists only ever truely think about themselves. I totally understand and agree with Brett’s blog on Jan. 22nd. Yes I agree they come in to your salon with not one client and you feed them customers and promote them from nothing. The minute they finally see hey I’m actually making money, they decide this is unfair. It takes guts and hard work to lay everything on the line and open a salon with zero clientelle. Yes a stylist works hard for five or six years to help the salon build up the clientelle, but basically is spineless to act like I’m so great I should own my own salon. Start with absolutely nothing and all the risk to start from scratch, then ask for respect.

Hello, I am living in UK, Kent since 2007.I came here from Romania to live with my then partner now husband(englishman).In my country I was a hairdresser, a very good one. I went to college to achieve my nvq2 in hairdressing hoping that will make me more employable. I am reliable, loyal and my hairdressing customer services are delivered at very high standards, always.Unfortunately I couldn’t find any work in the salon ( Now I am working as a catering assistant at a private hospital to pay the bills and to support my daughter. I have booked my Master colour class at Ask Academy London in May, paid from my own pocket.I am very frustrated sometimes and even my relation with my husband seems to deteriorate.I am born in 1971. People from salons asked me how old I am , and somebody -a salon owner told me that I am too old. I came out from that salon with tears in my eyes. The salons I’ve been here , so far, they paid me very little, and otherwere unprofesssional towards me and to customers. Any suggestions ? What to do? I still have tears in my eyes. I still want to feel the vibes at the salon, to work within a team…

Hi all, we have a interesting situation here in PA. I work at a salon and pay 50/50 to the salon owner. The thing is, is that in PA you can’t rent a both but I am responsible for all my own taxes. I am technically self employed according to the state and pay taxes that way but the salon owner gets 50% of what I bring in. I feel like she treats me as an employee in some ways but a both renter in others whatever benefits her the most with no regard to my well being…

Hey! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

I am now deciding to get more involved and put more, very hard to find, cash into the place to make space for booth renters. Can you please share with me anything that you have learned? My husband and I were in a builder club for 11+ years throughemployees who move on as soon as they get it. Desperation signs and bussiness tactics.Now,those places give our industry a bad name. I dont think any have booth renters.
