I need some input on what is a fair price to charge booth renters. Most salons in our area are no longer allowing rentals as they have had too many problems. Now I have girls coming to me wanting to rent and they tell me $75.00 weekly is a fair price. I say I don't think so! Try renting a building for that price. Anyone have any comments as to a fair price?

I've heard of renters paying $150- $200 a week. It's fair compared to what their keeping.

here in my home town in arizona it's anywhere from 100 to 175 a week. if you have a high end salon you can charge more. there is a lot of factors involed, like what are you going to supply? ie. backbar, receptionist, towel service, phone service.

I was charging a sliding scale depending on sales -- $150 to $200/wk.  I recently changed everyone to $160/wk, plus $30/mo for backbar, and client drinks.  We have 2 part time receptionists who answer the phone and book appointments.

What is a fair price for your chair.Well, do you want to make a profit?Is this a buisness for you ,or just a hobby.If you are giveing chair rent up for $75 you must have real cheap overhead to make bills .How can you maintain a salon for that price.I charge $225 a week and that still makes for very little profit if any.If you under cut you're worth ,you not only hurt yourself,you hurt every salon owner.

I have been a booth renter for 16 years I have been in only two places as a renter The first one i stayed 14 years until the owners closed.   Because i rent the feeling to move is not so great becuse we know it is really are own business to grow or stanet. Before i started renting i moved almost every two or three years.  If there is a walk-in that there are few. new cleint  go to are only commishing person. than we get it, but we have to pay 50 % to the owner. I feel this is a bit steep consering that i have already paid to be there that day. But i feel that thay put out mony to mantain the shop it is ok that thay get a slice of the pie,also  i agreed to this % when i sigh my rent agreement that is how it is. This is the frist time i had to pay a commishen for a walk in.  Atlest the owners do not count referals from others in the shop or are own client referals. I pay 205 a week and in almost all of the both renting salon in my area go from 194 to 300 a week.  If you need a sounding bord from a renter position just ask .
