do hair stylists get paid hourly
Best Answer: A hairstylist can make great money. It depends on where you work. The most important thing in relation to how much you make is building a good clientele. A salon will start you off making an hourly rate, and a low commission. You may start making $15 per hour, and 40% commission. This means if you do a $200 style on a client, you will make $80, or $40 on each $100.
