What is a commission stylist?

Commission Stylists are professional hair stylists or beauty consultants who earn their income based on a percentage of the services and products they sell, rather than a fixed hourly wage or salary. This compensation model motivates stylists to build a loyal clientele and upsell salon products and services. Commission Stylists typically work in salons, and their earnings can vary depending on their experience, skill level, and the volume of clients they serve. Many stylists prefer this structure because it offers the potential for higher earnings compared to hourly pay.
