If you are going to be a stylist as well, start with the senior stylist salary, add in what you would earn during the hours you would be hairdressing instead of managing, then add either a percentage on top (10 - 30% I reckon is fair) or agree a system of bonuses tied to salon targets. Take some advice from someone who got it wrong for years: the manager shouldn't always be the highest earner in the salon!

I'd expect a manager to be responsible for recruitment, training, running and cleanliness of the salon, cashing up, staff meetings and stock control. Don't confuse "responsible for" with "doing it yourself". Read "The One Minute Manager" - it's not a hairdressing book but gives a great system for staff management.

Good luck!
