How do barbers and beauticians get paid that work at a shop and how does the owner get paid?

If the business is run as a ';booth rent'; salon and as the owner you are more like a landlord collecting weekly rent from each stylist/barber. Each barber/stylist is expected to supply their own supplies and equipment. You would have a large locking locker or cabinet for each employee to keep their supplies secure. The employees should have their own phone line and keep their own book.





The other alternative is to run a commission salon. You will decide what % commission on each service the salon keeps. There is usually also whats called a ';ticket charge'; per client that covers the recepcionist, small things like that. It can be $2-$5 per ticket that the salon keeps. The salon is expected to provide all backbar, color, chemical and beverages for clients. It's optional wether you choose to provide uniform tools or have the stylist provide their own.


There are variations on these 2, but those are the basics.How do barbers and beauticians get paid that work at a shop and how does the owner get paid?
in canada, stylists either rent a chair (for almost as much as an apartment!), are paid hourly (usually minimun wage), or are on commission (usually around 50%). so you see, the owner is really makin all the money.


tip your stylists well!! they dont have much else.
