% split renting a room - even one word answers would be fab :)

[pureholistic]

Hello all - I would really appeciate your answers regarding how much % commission you pay to rent a room?

I've been offered a room within an established beauty salon:
The owner works there alone and has a full book. I would more or less be starting from scratch although i'd have all new clients as she's too full to take any more on. Its a suburb out of the city, with some passing trade but i'd be marketing myself...

She's asking 25% of my takings and I need to make a quick decision and really dont know if that's good or not :?:
The room has a couch but i would provide all my own stock, towels, and cant use her card machine.

Thanks in advance geeks for any response xx

That's what I pay to rent a room and think it's fair , plus always good to pay a % if ur starting from scratch so u don't end up owing more than u made

the good thing about that is if someone doesn't turn in you don't pay, if you are on holiday or on the sick, you don't pay.

I do something similar in one of the rooms I rent.

Thanks everyone, yes I've been searching for ages for somewhere with a % basis rather than daily rental as otherwise it would worry me sick if the phone wasnt ringing with appts!!
Thanks for your input

I give 20% or 30% If I'm using the spas product. It's the best arrangement as the more you make the more they make!

I just started in a salon and it is 60/40 in my favour so I think that is good for you.
