Commission vs. Booth Rental: Which Path Is Right for Your Beauty Career?
At Colors by Kim, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all path in the beauty industry. Some beauty professionals want a place to come to work, enjoy what they do, and have a job that fits comfortably into their lives. Others have a bigger vision—they want to build a career, increase their income, grow their clientele, develop their skills, and create a future that gives them greater financial freedom.
Both are valid. But they are very different paths.
And at Colors by Kim, we have room for both.
A Commission Salon Can Give You More Freedom Than You Think
When people hear “commission,” they sometimes think of limitations. But the right commission salon can actually provide freedom without requiring you to carry the responsibilities of running your own business.
With a commission-based salon, you can focus on what you do best: taking care of your guests and becoming exceptional at your craft.
You don’t have to worry about:
- Paying rent whether you are busy or slow
- Managing your own inventory and supplies
- Handling all of your own marketing
- Creating every promotion yourself
- Managing the business side of your career alone
- Finding and paying for your own education
- Creating your own systems for growth
- Carrying all of the financial risk of operating your own business
Instead, you have a team, systems, education, marketing, support and an established environment working alongside you.
- You get to focus on YOU.
- The Biggest Difference? Your Career Can Keep Growing.
- At Colors by Kim, we don’t believe your career should have a ceiling.
Our career path is designed for beauty professionals who want to continue growing—not just in their technical skills, but in their income, confidence, clientele and professional opportunities.
The goal isn’t simply to keep you busy behind the chair.
The goal is to help you become better, more successful and more financially secure.
A career-minded stylist can continue advancing, building a strong clientele, increasing their earning potential and creating a career that supports the lifestyle they want.
When you grow, your income has the opportunity to grow with you.
Career People vs. Job People
We recognize that not everyone wants the same thing from their career.
Some people are job people. They love doing hair, nails, skin care or other services, but they don’t necessarily want their work to consume their lives. They want a dependable place to work, great coworkers, a positive environment and the ability to enjoy their career while making room for family, hobbies and life outside the salon.
We love those people too.
Then there are career people.
Career people look at their profession differently.
They ask:
- How good can I become?
- How much can I earn?
- How big can I build my clientele?
- What can I learn next?
Where could I be five years from now?
They are willing to invest in themselves, take advantage of education, build relationships with their guests and continually improve their skills.
Those are the people who often have the greatest opportunity to grow bigger, better and faster.
And when someone is willing to build their career, we want to help them build a life that reflects that success.
You Don’t Have to Be a Business Owner to Be Successful.
One of the biggest misconceptions in our industry is that you have to booth rent to have freedom, control and financial success.
We don’t believe that’s true.
There is a tremendous amount of freedom in being able to concentrate on your craft while someone else helps provide the infrastructure around you.
At Colors by Kim, our goal is to give our team members the opportunity to think like a professional, earn like a professional and grow like a professional—without having to do everything alone.
-You don’t have to choose between being an employee and being successful.
-You can build a career.
Your Career. Your Choice. Your Future.
Maybe you want a job that fits into your life. That’s okay. Maybe you want to build a six-figure career behind the chair. That’s okay too. Maybe you don’t know yet. That’s okay as well.
What matters is finding a salon environment that supports the direction you want your life to go.
At Colors by Kim, we believe beauty professionals deserve more than a chair.
They deserve education, opportunity, support, a career path, a team and the ability to grow.
Because our definition of success isn’t simply having a full book.
It’s helping our people build bigger careers, better financial futures and lives they love.
If you’re ready to stop thinking of beauty as just a job and start looking at it as a career, we’d love to talk to you.
