Suite Renting vs. Commission vs. Hourly wage

Whether you have been a suite renter before or are just considering it, please review the following information so that you can decide if this is the right option and location for you.
Hourly wage is perfect for someone who is new to the industry. This option provides the salon owner with an employee that is flexible enough to do different jobs around the shop, while allowing him/her time to building up their clientele. When you consistently begin to bring in enough revenue to exceed your hourly wage, it's time to move on to commission.
Commission is when the salon takes a percentage of your service income (usually around 40 to 50%) in trade for providing the work space, products, advertisement, etc. The salon will usually control the prices, hours and chemical brands used, for stylists on commission.
Suite Renting is another option, but should be considered carefully. If you possess the qualities outlined below, then suite renting just might be for you!
