Hello everyone Im interested in going through cosmetology school. I am just wondering how much does hairstylist get paid? do they get paid by the hour too or just by tips? I also wondering how much tip does hairstylists usually get? I just got a haircut at walmart for 17 dollars and the hairstylist done a really good job and i didnt know how much i should have tipped

Hairstylist are the 2nd highest paid profession in the world. However, there are "2" types of hairstylist... Learned and Gifted. When you are a learned hairstylist, you copy and mimick what you see, therefore you can only make a certain amount of money. But when you are "gifted", you are passionate, innovative, patient and hunger to know all about your craft...you can command your dollar. By the way I earn a six-figure income doing hair.

Hey Christina. Are you thinking about going to cosmotology school because you love to do hair or because your confused about what you wanna be?? Alot of hairstylist come in this business with no passion or motivation. Therefore those are the stylist you will find at a walmart hair salon. Ive been in this industry my whole life practically.. But as a professional about 7 years.. It takes time in a salon to build a clientel but if you love what you do and do it well, you will have no problem building up fast and thats when you will make really GOOD MONEY! Ive been in a new salon since November and already make well over 1000 dollars a week. (not including tips) Give me another 2 years ill be making double that... :) good luck
