i would be the one buyin my products etc...
she would be making more off me than i would!
any advice please would be great! xx

Hi hun

50%!? I think that's WAYYYYYY too much! I would approach them first and let them do the talking. See if it's something they want to do. If they do, then I'd put an offer of between 10% & 12%, then there's room for negotiation with both parties.

Would you be renting the chair off them for a set fee, then giving them a %age on top from your earnings or just the %age?

It's up to you what to part with, but as you say, you're doing everything yourself, buying stock etc., just in part of someone elses space. I'd also be wary of them regarding any client base you build up, keep it close to your chest, locked away, and make sure there's nothing in the contract that says if you leave the clients belong to the salon.

I hope I've helped hun
