In this new series I answer your emails.

Here, I answer an email from a rental salon owner wishing to close her salon to go commission.

As an aside, you will never hear me advocate for rental. My opinion is that it hurts the industry.
There are some good ones out there but for every good rental salon owner there are 1000 that are nothing but leeches.
But for every good commission salon owner there are an equal number of bad ones.
My point? Most salon owners suck, regardless of pay structure.

But it is a reality, and in certain areas it is so prevalent that the salons are leaching from each other so it’s well past trying to help protect commission owners from rental owners.
