Question

How much do hairdressers get paid in canada?

Answer 1

It all depends on the type of salon you work in, as well as what province/city..etc. Most salons you pay a set amount per month to have a chair there, plus a bonus for clientele you brought in. Generally you will get a percentage of all income brought in, which is divided by seniority, amount of customers per hairdresser, and such. You should get to keep all your tips, which you will claim on income tax. This is an idea for a high end salon, which might also give you an hourly wage, usually hovering close to the minimum wage. At a salon where you rent your chair, you generally get to keep all of what you personally make.
