The numbers on massage are anywhere from $40-$120/hr depending on the treatments. So, if the room was booked for massage on the same average as your room usage...say 30% during a 15 hour day, that would be on the low end $250 net so $125 for the salon owner.
Would that be a good partnership?

good idea, it works most of the time. I would either do a split or just a base rent with a stipulation of the massage therapists minimum monthly output, i.e., i would mandate they they do a certain amount of business, or you hire someone else. you will be providing the space, elect, water, a huge client base, etc. etc., so I would do a 60/40 split or just make them pay a set dollar amount for rent, but maybe make it linear to how much massage work they are doing. My biggest concern would be the noise factor, not the lotions. You are going to want to make sure that you have a room that is quiet and comfy. The last thing someone wants to hear when getting a massage is 10 tanning beds humming in the background!
