Staff can choose their own hours, take as many sick days and holidays as they like or never go sick or have a holiday!
They have to collect their own money from clients and then pay you the agreed rent.
It's a lot to consider taking on a self employed therapists.
I don't think you can even insist in a uniform!
But it works for lots of people.

I'm planning on taking someone on but would prefer to pay them as self employed and let them deal with the tax etc. So, my question is what would someone be entitled to when employed on that basis?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but when paying self employed staff you still have to pay their tax for them, before you pay them, unless they pay you. Eg you pay them 70% of their weekly earnings on Friday - you will have to take the tax off first then you pay the HMRC. ( like I said i may be wrong as I pay self employed staff in the construction industry so it may be different )
So if that is the only reason you do not want to take in employed staff I wouldn't bother!
If I were you I would employe a member of staff , even on a temp basis, as you will have much more control over them - like others have said self employed can do what they want ! Have a look a HMRCS guide to self employed, I was surprised when I first took people on s/e the rulesvare very strict , they have to supply all of their own equipment, can choose if and when they want to work etc! Even if you class someone as self employed but the HMRC deem them employed your liable to a slap on the wrists and a fine.
Personally I would employe with a basic wages plus commission x
As far as I'm aware you are not to take any of the self employed persons money other than tent/ rates. The client pays the person not the salon. Then the person pays the salon. If you are taking their money then its not self employed xoxo
