I’m leaving the salon I work in, I’m part time but self employed. What do you think would be an adequate notice period barring in mind I’m paid weekly.
Any advice helps. Thank you

How can you be paid when you're self-employed? You should be taking your own money.
A few things for future reference;By paid, I mean I earn commission and every week she pays my share after working out what I’ve taken.
I should add that we have agreed the days and times I’m there and she provides all my products and dictates my prices. I sometimes feel self employed and other times I don’t.
I also don’t have a written or signed contract.

You should be taking your own money and paying her the commission at the end of the week.
She can't dictate your times/days or prices.
You should have a contract.
You haven't mentioned but you should also be taking your own payments, handling your own appointments and keeping hold of your own clients record cards or you're breaching data protection.
To answer your question, it's up to you how you handle it with no contract. Mutually agree a leaving period or take your money for the week and tell her you won't be back. There is nothing she can do without a contract but she may bad mouth you etc.
It sounds more like like a sham employment situation and she ought to be paying you minimum wages plus holiday, sick pay etc.
In your situation, I’d just leave giving a week’s notice at most.
I’d take the clients details and contact them directly or start advertising your services via social media, tagging in any clients that you can find online.
