Answer 1

depends where they work

Answer 2

Hi Ruth,
The beauty industry is like any other: the 80/20 rule applies. Meaning that 20% of the people possess 80% of the business. If you apply yourself, work hard, have a passion for the industry and work to educate yourself..........you will prosper! The average hairstylist in this country makes about $27,000 but those of us who categorize themselves as one of the 20%'ers make 3,4, or 5+ times that amount of money. I have been in the industry for 16 years and actually got into it because I was 25 years old, going no where and it was a fairly quick schooling. Not ever in my WILDEST dreams did I imagine that I would love it so much or ever make so much money! I went to college directly after high school to become a nurse. I didn't think it was the vocation for me and now I have a job that I love and I make more money than I would if I were the charge nurse at any hospital. I make more money in the beauty industry than many doctors in this country as well. So I guess what I am saying is that if you approach it properly and truly love the industry the money making possibilities are UNLIMITED!

Answer 3

It depends on where you live. Hair stylists in large cities usually make more than ones in a small town. I live in a small town and I have done hair for ten years now. I make really good money cutting hair but after paying your own taxes, social security, and health insurance. I didn't have as much money as I wanted.

I got a job at our local natural gas utility company and work there full time now. I have extra taken out of that check to help pay for the taxes and other stuff like that and the company that I work for pays for your health insurance. I also have a retirement there.

I cut hair part time in my own shop. I really enjoy doing it part time more than I did full time. I think I was beginning to burn out and working the other job makes me appreciate cutting hair more.

After I get off at the Gas Company, I go straight and start cutting hair. I usually have clients waiting on me. I usually work two or three hours each day on Monday through Friday and all day on Saturday and I can make anywhere from thirty dollars to one hundred dollars depending on what and how much I do.

I charge ten dollars for a haircut, twenty-five for a color, thirty for highlights, thirty-five for perms, and five dollars for me to wax your eyebrows or lip. I charge a little bit less than some salons here in my town but overall, that is the average.

I hope this helps and I hope you decide to do something else. This business is not as easy as you think it would be.
