If there was a cap on rent that might not be a bad deal. What does rent go for in her area? She doesn't want to end up paying more then that. I started out on commission and went to rent after a year. I think starting out renting is to stressful unless you just have a spouse that is willing to support you and pay your rent. Let someone else buy the supplies at first, till you figure out what you like and don't like. You can waste a lot of money trying new products. I think I am the queen of that! I could never go back to comm. now. It would be like moving back home with mom, so start out on comm. and make it easier on yourself starting out. That would be my advice. Angie Wingerter

IF she has 1 client a day at 25.00 (pays owner 8.75) times 5= 43.75plus 25.00=68.75....she is bringing in 125.00 ...still not really making anything!! Until she has a clientele...she should be an employee...IMHO!! 125.00 - 68.75=56.25 out of that she needs to budget for insurance, product, license, etc....

Question for those that have been in the industry. I was talking to a new nail tech fresh from school. She was telling me she got a job as an independent contractor for a brand new salon. She can use their tables, towels, etc... but has to use her own lotion, cuticle oils, implements,etc.. They are giving her 65% and they are taking 35% BUT then they are charging her $100.00 a month for a receptionist fee AND charging her to use their credit card machine AND said that in a few months they are reinstating other fees they are waiving because she is new. I told her that was a rip off. What are everyone's thoughts on this? I just want her to be treated fair since she is new and does not know any different.
