Question

Answer 1

If there is no commission for your services you should get $25 an hour + Tips

Answer 2

I do not recommend getting hourly pay because most places will only pay you minimum wage starting. I work for Smartstyle which is located inside Walmart Supercenters and get 50% commission, which if converted into hourly pay would average anywhere from $15-$20 an hour. I also get 10% off retail and keep the tips. Also where and who are you working for? Is it a busy salon with great clientele or is it steady with hardly any clientele? Keep that in mind. If you do a wonderful job, you are worth more than what you think or what I average an hour. We go to school for $3000 and should get more after getting more experienced. Good luck.

Answer 3

i didnt think they charge by the hour the hairstylists i know pay booth rental and keep whatever they make so you might need to find another salon to work at especially if you are good

Answer 4

I think you should ask for $10 per hour, plus 50% commission on services you provide, plus you get to keep your tips.

Answer 5

i work at a salon and i get paid 50% commission. most generally stylists are paid commission. very seldom hourly.

Answer 6

anyone that i've known that works in a salon just pays booth rental. everything they make from their cuts or perms or colors or whatever they keep.

Answer 7

$25 - Haircut
$20 - Blow dry
$80 - Color

That is if you pay booth rent.
