are you a hair stylist - excluding tips, how much do you make an hour? What city do you work in? And how long did it take you to become one? and are you happy with your profession?





Thanks!!Are you a hair stylist - excluding tips, how much do you make an hour? Where do you work?
yes. in new york.


8.50 an hour + commission rates+ retail (product sales) on all services. ex, 1 hair cut i get a % on the service, plus the 8.50 an hour, and more if i made tip. the more people i do the more money so i control my income. and if i don't have anyone i still get 8.50 per hour. so 600$ a minimum paycheck. but it all depends on the place you work. you can rent a chair and pay rent, and take in how ever much you profit, you're your own boss. or you can work at a place like me, or you can work at a place where its all commission and tips, or some places where its just a flat salary, its almost ran like a restaurant. and yes like what i do. if you are in it for the money it will be made, the harder you work and the longer you do it the better you get the more you will make. also depending on the area you are working (high volume areas make more and charge more like a big city). but you have to have motivation and an interest. you you are looking for a job just for cash you wont go very far. you have to be into it to make it, it is a competitive world. it takes 8months- 1year or longer depending on the school and program and state. its 1000 hours for new york, and thats the lowest amount needed for your license. and you need to have specific state licenses to work in a specific state. ex, i can't take my new york license to Florida. i would have to switch and go for more hours. and after you complete your 1000 hours, you have to pass a written exam and a State Board practical exam. but beauty school is first! make sure you're dedicated and motivated and you'll do great!Are you a hair stylist - excluding tips, how much do you make an hour? Where do you work?
Nope!
no but you should make at least minium wage
I don't know the exact money , but they make really good money. My friends mom is one and she makes about 18 an hour. But she works as a professional professional. anyways.. don't worry about money you should pick a job that you are happy with .. after all your stuck with it.


btw ( her mom had enough money to go on a abercrombie shopping spree) hope it works =]!
