Lauré Chicoine replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"I have a commission salon in Northern California in an area where booth rental is prevalent. I converted my rental salon 15 years ago after a rental walkout and slowly started with apprentices moving onto the floor as stylists. We grew over time to…"
Ren Shaw replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"Great topic. I'd have to echo the sentimets by both Josh and Adam. Curious to hear more input from some other salon owners."
Chris Stogner replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"I have rented a booth and been on commission. I am currently on commission and am enjoying it. Really didn't think I would when I decided to go that direction, but my (corporate) salon offers benefits, free or mostly free education, great…"

adam federico replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"JoshXO, you bring up an EXCELLENT point. So excellent, I believe that I may make it the subject of my next discussion - how to retain stylists. I request that you repost your thoughts regarding stagnation and restlessness in the next post."
JoshXO Fighting!!! replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"Scary huh?
It's a challenge I have not taken on yet. I can't talk shit on other people til I have done it myself. I guess you could call it researching a role, I need material for future rants."
Gerard Scarpaci replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"JoshXO rebel ,punk ,salon owner?"
"JoshXO & Adam, I believe you both hit the nail on the head, and I don't think it is old school as much as it is simply the way it works (which, come to think of it, may just be what "old school" means these days). Being the…"
JoshXO Fighting!!! replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale" Your thoughts mirror mine exactly Adam. I have worked in booth rental salons and had always hated the "Everyone for themselves" attitude that permeates them. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone out there,…"
adam federico replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"There is no ideal system. In a perfect world, I would offer my stylists a full clientele, a healthy commission rate and benefits. Once upon a time, this was possible. When I opened the doors to AjF Salon, 12 years ago, rental salons existed but were…"
Kevin L. Baker replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"Haha..good point!!--I run a commission base salon....50% or hourly, whichever is greater...i pay 8% 0n retail and have full health care, paid vacations and dental/vision...and i have paid educationals...low turnover because of the education and…"
"This is an interesting question, and it drives right into the core of the industry’s current malaise. Booth rent is actually not a business model, per se, but rather a description of a number of things going on concurrently.
As noted, the…"

Chad Clark replied to adam federico's discussion Commission Scale"Love this discussion. While I respect and see all sides to this, Gerard is being more forward thinking with what is happening in the industry today. Both systems are Flawed, and thats where Flex Salon Concept came from. Its a hybrid if you will. A…"

Wabi-Sabi
Posted on May 26, 2012 at 12:41pm 1 Comment 0 Favorites
Early on in my career, I discovered a book that changed my life and my artistic vision. Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, and Philosophers by Leonard Koren. I recommend that ANY artist read it, regardless of your methodology. I will say that it leads to a more free flowing and organic style of haircutting; I will also add that before you can move freely in your craft, you need to learn strict fundamentals - I drill this belief into my team.
