What to know:
-
As a stylist, you're providing services to guests within a salon. The salon is responsible for supplying everything needed for the services + markets the business to bring guests into your chair. This makes a stylist an employee and requires a W2 tax document.
A salon should not provide a stylist with a 1099 - that would make you a booth renter. Salons that have this practice are not paying taxes on wages and placing that financial burden onto the stylist.
W2 wages provide stylists with stability and predictability.
Your regular paycheck allows for stronger financial planning and budgeting, supporting financial security.

-
The hottest conversation on social media, "who is paying the most commission?" but that is only a factor of total compensation and growth potential for a successful stylist and career.
"More" commission confuses stylists in missing context.
For example: "5% more" BUT less guest demand, fewer new guests monthly + lower guest retention is not a pay increase. Which looks like more time marketing and less time doing what you love - doing hair.
Especially for those who are misclassified and the salon is not paying taxes on your wages.
-
No. Our compensation is inclusive of the materials needed for services.
-
We are a legit, legal W2 salon. This means we pay taxes on your wages + your tips.
