In this episode of Shit I Told My Hairdresser, we break down one of the most confusing — and often abusive — pay structures in the beauty industry: the 1099 commission hairstylist.
If you’re a hairstylist, barber, or cosmetology student who has ever wondered:
• Should I be paid 1099 or W-2 in a salon?
• Why does my salon take 50% commission but still call me self-employed?
• Why am I suddenly responsible for 40% of my income in taxes?
• Are non-compete contracts legal in salons?
This episode answers it all.
We share real salon horror stories about predatory pay structures, commission manipulation, illegal tax setups, and how some salon owners structure pay to avoid employment taxes while pushing all the financial risk onto stylists
1099 + commission
.
You’ll also learn:
• The difference between W-2 vs 1099 hairstylists
• Why some salons secretly prefer 1099 workers
• How commission structures can hide huge tax liabilities
• Why every hairstylist should read their salon contract
• How credit card fees and product charges quietly reduce your pay
• What labor laws protect stylists under the Fair Labor Standards Act
