- Owning Your Income
How many times have you heard of people feeling overworked and underpaid? Well, those who graduate from beauty school can see that the type and amount of work directly affect the income. Simply put, the more clients you have, the more money you make. The average salary of a salon stylist is about $50,000 a year, according to the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) study in 2013. That is just the average; may work more hours and in doing so, end up with more dough.
The extra income can also be made in the form of commissions. Beauty products come and go; most of the time, manufacturers of these products give commissions to cosmetologists and aestheticians who help them sell the products. It is as simple as recommending a certain product that you feel your client may need or like. If you sales pitch works, you definitely earn extra and it adds up if, you have lots of clients already.
