It all depends really on who you work for and how much experience you have. I have found that most salons start out at minimum wage plus tips with the possibility of commission after so long. Children's salons tend to pay a little more per hour because you're dealing with kids. I would be cautious with salons that offer you commission but only if you don't already have a clientele because if youre not working on clients you're not making money.

It would depend on the area where you would work. Generally you would want to start somewhere that would pay you an hourly rate plus tips. Then once you have built up a clientele it would be up to you to switch to commission based or become a booth renter. If you build a clientele quickly and can find a reasonable place to booth rent, I would go that route. That is where you will make more money.
