Making the salon profit is my number one priority. We have atleast 10 new customers a day and the owners haven't spent a a penny on advertising. The salon is doing amazing for the first year and is constantly growing.

I don't agree with the owners considering themselves as managers. Everything is left up to me from deciding lotions, to equipment, to specials and promotions, to store hours. They stop in the salon maybe once a week, and leave everthing up to me. I don't know any managers who only work once a week for an hour or two, do you?

Just be careful that you don't price yourself out of a job.

Re: What should I be getting Paid??

I agree with engfant, you should just ask for 10% that will more than compensate for the difference

Re: What should I be getting Paid??

I got 10% commission raise on packages, spray tans and lotion bottles. Lets just see whats happens when they see the commission amount. I don't know how happy they will be paying out $250-$300 a week in commission.

Just do tread lightly in this economy. If things ever get tough for us my higher paid GM is the first to go. BTW......do the Owners take payroll right now?

This is a very real comment. I know when things get tight here, I start working for $0 and longer hours.

Both owners have another job, so I'm at the salon all week running the place. They can not work longer hours, they only work a few hours here and there.
