In reply to: 50/50 split with salon....a survey posted by Kenzi on September 20, 2001 at 17:42:16:

I've been working fairs under other people's booths for 1/5 to 1/3
depending on what else os going on. 1/3 hurts! I wouldn't do half
and half, especially if all you get is some space for your money.

: I was just contacted by a spa/salon in NYC to offer henna to their
: clients. They offered me a 50/50 split. I use a salon near my
house
: and have a 70/30 deal with them (I get 70% they get 30%) so 50/50
was
: a shock. I have heard that 50/50 is the standard split for tattoo
: artists working at a tattoo place, but that makes sense because the
: artist is probably using the equipment, utilities and supplies of
the
: tattoo place, is covered by their insurance, benefits from their
: advertising etc. This salon wants me to make my own brochure, make
: copies of my portfolio and write up a price list. I will be using
my
: own supplies (of course!) and will only be using one of their rooms
to
: do henna...their cost to have me there is minimal.
:
: I was told that I could make $30 my minimum price but that would
mean
: I would make $15. So I would have to travel 1/2 hr. there, 1/2
back,
: plus the 1-1/5 hours of actually doing henna and aftercare. So I
: would be getting paid $15 for 2-2.5 hours of my time. Seems like a
: bad deal to me...am I missing something? It's not like I am a
: supermodel saying I won't get out of bed for less than $10,000!
:
: What I want to know from all of you, if you have an arrangement
with a
: salon, what is your deal with them? What is the split? What is
the
: role of the salon in terms of services provided to you?
