Commission vs. Booth Rental vs. Suites

Deciding between remaining a commission stylist or becoming an independent contractor (booth renter or suite owner) is the biggest financial decision in a stylist's career.

While commission salons offer stability and education, independent stylists typically have a significantly higher earning ceiling. Using a tool like this calculator can help you visual the "break-even" point where rent becomes cheaper than giving up 50% of your service revenue.
