So many questions? - Renting per week or commission of sales?

[CeeKay]

I am hoping that the good folks of salon geek can help me!!!


I think I have been given a fantastic opportunity, but would like a little help on the nitty gritty please guys.

Let me explain.

I have been given an opportunity to go into a new nail and beauty salon to offer hair extensions with no rent, just to pay a commission on my sales, which is fine. I know if I dont sell anything I dont earn anything, but there again if I dont sell anything I dont have to pay any rent. So I am fine with this.

As a bonus, in exchange for manning reception when i am not busy and the therapist is, she will give me a hand with my nail course, and when ready allow me to offer my services at student rates until i pass my course when i can then offer full nail services. this is where i need the help.
should i go for the same arrangement as i will have for the hair, or should i rent the table for set days times and hope i earn enough for the rent or as a third option should i use her products and just get paid a set amount per set?
also, for nails, what is the going rates for rent a table, or commission etc?

hoping you guys can help me out here, as i didnt think i would be dealing with this yet and am bit out of my depth!!!!

Another thing is to do spray tanning, but i would have to save for a while to afford the kit and training unless anyone knows of a company that do installments??? unlikely i know
