Dang. I guess that explains why my old hairdresser has a pool.

Chair rental varies widely, and sometimes stylists also pay a percentage of the pay for support employees such as receptionists and shampooers. Independent stylists also have all the expenses of any contractor. However, they also sometimes have $1,000 days. A stylist with a loyal clientele can rake it in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eight haircuts/day @ $50 = $400 + $100 in tips = $500

4 days/week = $2,000 x 50 weeks = $100,000 - ~$10,000 for chair rental

Huh. Is chair rental that cheap?

Chair rental varies widely

She's the owner's daughter, so I assume she's paying on the low end. (Or she may possibly be a co-owner. Also her husband works in construction so she also got a deal on the pool.)

I forgot supplies, which the stylist may buy for herself or may pay an additional fee to the salon for. Color and perm supplies are expensive, but color and perm pay more.

Chair rental is a high risk/high reward game, so some stylists are happier at salons that pay a salary or a fixed percentage.

Because books.

I took three girls to lunch downtown, walking there and back, and I'm now supervising them making chocolate chip cookies. I get all the points today.
