Thank you.Can someone please tell me how and how much is a barber / hair stylist get paid?
Hi,I'm a retired Cosmetologist.To answer your question I would need to know if you're speaking about booth rental,or if you are paying or getting a %.I live in California now,and the cost of space/booth rental is outrageous.Also the cost of services are outrageous,without the quality being improved.So for me I'm going to have to say, it depends on where you're at,and the cost of services.For my salon,I charged $75.00 a week for rental.And for those just starting out and were trying to build a clientele,I went 70/30.As soon as they had clientele,they went to rental,with a rental agreement that they were responsible for they're own taxes.If you are in an upper class area where you can charge top dollar for services,stylists have no problem Paying $75.00 a wk. rent.However in my rental agreement, my stylist were to attend regular classes to make sure they were up to date on the latest cuts,trends,etc.You want your shop to be a place where people don't mind paying for top quality services.All it takes is one stylist,that's always late,doesn't show up,looks messy,or doesn't give top quality service,to bring your salon down.Give an excellent service,give the customer your undivided attention,and always be on time,and you won't ever have to worry about customers leaving. Hope that helps.Good luck and God blessCan someone please tell me how and how much is a barber / hair stylist get paid?
I used to work at a bank. The owner of a salon and one of her stylists both made deposits. The owner brought in deposits weekly between $250 and $450, depending on the season, time of year, proms, holidays, etc. She also got payments from the stylists that ';rented'; out their space in her building that totalled around $160-$200 a week. The stylist that banked with us would bring in $80 deposits sometimes and other times she would bring in $400. It varied a great deal throughout the year.
ok well there is a couple different methods.


if you are on comission, where you're an employee of the salon, it varies... but usually 50/50 to 60/40 precent of your weekly income, and most places give you 10% on retail sales...





and if you're booth renting, where you're considered self employed, you make 100% of your weekly income, however you must remember that 30% of your annual income you have to pay taxes on..... but you can lessen your amount you have to pay in with buisness expences aka write-offs....





now your income depends on your clintele.... ive been behind the chair 4 years so my average is 75K+ it starts off slow but you have to build yourself a client list... ex, market yourself with flyers, run an ad in your local paper and always have buisness cards onhand... good luck!
YES I AM A HAIRDRESSERS I GET PAID COMMISSION I GET 60 % SO IF YOU PAY 100.00 I GET 60.00 PLUS TIP BUT ALL SALONS ARE DIFFERENT SOME GET PAID SALARY OTHERS GET BY THE HOUR IT JUST DEPENDS WHO YOU WORK FOR AND YOUR EXPERIENCE
About 35-40K per year...





If you work in Beverly Hills, NYC or Miami or a high end salon it's probably more like 60-70K.
