first congradulations r in order.. sounds like you don't need a stylist with a following.. have u advertize just that> stylists wanted no following nessersary most beginner prefer a salary and commission.. but if u can promise then a busy book i don't see y offering commission only no ones answeing your adds...if you want a stylist with a following offer a sign on bonus... paid monthly after the 2nd month a board.. ... if he or she has a good book say 3,000 a week offer 6,000 sign on bonus payable monthy at 1,000 a month for 6 month after the 2 month on board.... if there book doesn't pan out staying at 3,000 a week have it in writting to lower the sign on figure.. this way your using there profits to re pay them.. in time you will come out ahead.. be sure to lay down the groud rules if any .. no stylist like supprises or take aways.....
