Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard salon commission split?
40–50% to the stylist is most common in the US, sometimes tiered (45% to $8k monthly revenue, 50% beyond). Above 55%, the house share rarely covers rent, product, and front desk.
Commission vs hourly vs booth rent — which model wins?
Commission aligns earnings with performance; hourly+bonus suits teams and new talent; booth rent turns stylists into tenants. Many salons blend: hourly guarantee against commission, whichever is greater.
Should product cost come out before commission?
Many salons deduct a service charge (5–10% or fixed per service) for backbar product before applying the split. Disclose it in writing — surprise deductions are a top reason stylists leave.
