Our Two Compensation Models: Designed for Your Success and the Salon’s Growth

At The Style Lounge, we believe that a rewarding compensation structure should reflect both the hard work and growth of our talented team members. That’s why we offer two flexible compensation models—each designed to help you thrive while contributing to the continued success of the salon. Whether you prefer the stability and predictability of hourly pay or the performance-driven rewards of a commission-based model, we’ve created an environment where you can feel secure, motivated, and supported every step of the way.

Option 1: The Hourly Pay Model with Personalized Bonuses or Quarterly Raises

In this model, you’ll enjoy the security of a consistent hourly wage, so you can plan your finances with confidence. You’ll be paid for every hour you work, offering you a stable income no matter how busy or quiet the salon gets. But that’s not all—you’re also eligible for personalized bonus opportunities based on your individual goals and performance. These could be tied to client satisfaction, retail sales, training milestones, or achieving service targets.

We’re committed to investing in your growth, which is why you’ll have the chance to earn bonuses or quarterly raises based on your performance and development. Whether you’re building your client base, improving skills, or excelling in client retention, we recognize your efforts with tangible rewards. This model gives you the chance to grow steadily while receiving fair and consistent pay.

Why This Works for You:

• Predictable Income: Never worry about fluctuating earnings—your hourly pay ensures stability.
• Focused on Quality: No need to chase sales or quotas—your time is focused on providing exceptional service and building lasting client relationships.
• Continuous Growth: Personalized bonuses or quarterly raises keep you motivated to grow your skills and build a thriving career.
• Team Collaboration: Working alongside other stylists, you’ll create an uplifting environment, supporting one another in every client interaction.

Option 2: The Profit-Based Commission Model (70% of Profit)

If you’re looking for a more performance-driven approach, our Profit-Based Commission Model might be perfect for you. In this system, you’ll earn 75% of the profit from each service you provide, meaning your earnings are directly tied to the value and efficiency of your work. The salon retains the remaining 25% to cover operational expenses and reinvest in the business, ensuring we can continue to provide top-tier services and resources for both stylists and clients.

How It Works:

• Profit is calculated by subtracting service-related costs (product usage, fees, etc.) from the total service revenue.
• You’ll earn 75% of the profit from each service, while the salon keeps 25%.

In addition to your commission, you’ll have personalized bonus goals based on your individual performance. These could range from exceeding revenue targets, to client retention, or even completing advanced training. The better the salon performs, the more you earn—creating an environment of mutual success.

Why This Works for You:

• Higher Earnings Potential: As you increase your efficiency and service quality, you directly boost your earnings.
• Aligned with Business Growth: You’re rewarded for contributing to the salon’s profitability, creating a shared sense of ownership in the success of the business.
• Incentive for Excellence: This model rewards stylists who take pride in maximizing their skillset and driving results.
• Opportunity for Bonuses: Personalized performance goals give you even more ways to earn, based on your achievements and contributions.

Additional Benefits

At The Style Lounge, we want to make sure you have the support and flexibility you need to maintain a healthy work-life balance. In addition to our flexible compensation models, we offer the following benefits:

• Paid Time Off: All stylists are eligible for five days of paid time off per year. You’ll also receive five days of unpaid time off to use as needed.
• Time-Off Restrictions: Stylists cannot request more than 21 days off per year. We also maintain operational balance by ensuring no more than two stylists can be out of the salon at the same time.
• Saturdays: As a stylist assistant, you can request only two Saturday’s off per year.

These policies are designed to ensure the salon remains well-staffed while still offering you the time you need for personal and family commitments.

Work-Life Balance is Key

It is my firm belief that hair stylists should not be working 40 hours a week, as it is simply unrealistic in this industry. Working long hours can lead to burnout, and we want to prioritize your well-being—both physically and mentally.

The salon is open 7 days a week, and we want to maintain a sustainable pace for all of our team members. It’s not just about the work—it’s about your health and sustainability in the industry. We’re committed to creating a workspace where you can thrive long-term without sacrificing your well-being.

Additionally, we believe in shared space and collaboration. No stylist will have an “own” station, unless exclusively rented, as our stations are designed to be utilized and shared between stylists working on different days. This allows flexibility in scheduling while fostering a team-oriented environment where everyone works together seamlessly.

Why We Offer Both Models

At The Style Lounge, we believe that every stylist has unique needs, goals, and aspirations. Some of you may value the security and stability of an hourly pay structure, while others may thrive on the performance-based rewards of our Profit-Based Commission Model. That’s why we’re proud to offer both options to suit your preferences and career goals.

Both models are designed to foster a supportive, growth-focused environment. Whether you choose the hourly model, where you have a reliable income and room for growth with personalized bonuses or quarterly raises, or the commission model, where your pay is tied to the salon’s profitability and performance goals, you’re setting yourself up for success.

At the heart of both models is a commitment to collaboration, professionalism, and personal growth. We want every stylist at The Style Lounge to feel empowered, valued, and rewarded for the outstanding service they provide.

So, whether you’re looking for stability or performance-driven rewards (or a little bit of both), we have a model that’s designed for your success, the salon’s success, and a long, fulfilling career with us.

Join our team and take your career to new heights—let’s grow together!

In Summary:
We offer two flexible, rewarding compensation models:

• Hourly Pay with Personalized Bonuses or Quarterly Raises for those who seek stability and predictable earnings.
• Profit-Based Commission Model (75% of Profit) with bonus goals for those who want a performance-driven system with higher earning potential and direct rewards for their contributions.
