Booth Rental. What Exactly Does it Mean?

Salon booth rental is one of the most common salon set-ups today. More often than not, stylists work on commissions before becoming independent contractors. Renting a booth at a salon means you will be running your own business, while working alongside a team of other stylists who are also running their own businesses.

While running your own business includes new responsibilities such as paying your taxes, scheduling, marketing yourself, and carrying your own insurances, it also means that you are your own boss! You get to make your own schedule, set your own prices, keep ALL of your earnings, and choose the products you use. Booth rental means freedom, independence, flexibility, and almost always more money.
