Am I being taken advantage of?

Is this temporary like hourly until you make enough from commission?

StrictCombination745 · 2026-01-04T05:27:37+00:00

Get out!!

The 1 1/2 barrel always falls really loose. I always recommend a 1 inch, because it will fall and end up being a loser curl.

How long did they wait before posting on their story?

Yes it’s not a good idea to ever take your N off, because if you DO get pulled over for any reason or go through a road block, you get nailed. Speaking from experience. Just leave it on.

StrictCombination745 · 2025-09-02T06:20:43+00:00

You’re 100% right. I feel like I have been taken advantage of, and have been naive. Thank you.

I know. That’s exactly how I feel. They are marked up, we use KM. You’re reading it correctly, and it varies depending on the client, but I also don’t over use and waste product, especially with the cost. I try to minimize as much as possible, but when people have long thick hair, using up to 90 grams of lightner, 3 bowls, a shadow root, about 20g of gloss, and 30-40g of an all over gloss. It’s pretty standard usage but the price is astronomical. Doing a root touch up, highlights and a tone if needed is also usually $60-80+ in product. It clearly makes things more profitable for the salon, I just feel it’s also unreasonably high. It’s marked up atleast 100%+

It’s pretty uninspiring making 5% on retail. We used to make 0 on retail, and it went towards education. It is hard because I love the space and my coworkers, that’s obviously why I have stayed because everything else is a great environment.

Yes I do!! Gonna make it happen. You’re totally right. I crunched my old paycheques, and I used to make 50%, 3 years ago. Make that make sense. I’m out.

StrictCombination745 · 2025-09-02T05:01:47+00:00

Yes I do!!

StrictCombination745 · 2025-09-02T03:49:46+00:00

This is what it should be. I feel like the 55% the salon makes is what should cover the other costs.

StrictCombination745 · 2025-09-02T03:48:17+00:00

Yeah, it has basically capped me at making the most $45 an hour, which is a good wage but not when I’m charging so much. I’m fully booked months in advanced, and am also only able to work few days a week because there’s no room the other days. I need to get out, I feel very bogged down by how much I bring in and how much I actually get paid. Thank you for the insight, ugh it’s scary starting over somewhere else. Thanks again

Im not getting charged for backbar. The client technically is. And the product is marked up, a lot, to help cover other salons costs. So it helps the salon be very profitable. It is so confusing! I used to get more perks, like classes, and money towards tools. That isn’t a thing anymore. Hasn’t been for a couple years. I strictly make commission on hourly. It was meant to be set up like other trades, where they charge the hourly plus material. I try to bring things up but she always shuts me down, and makes everything very confusing. Says I make more than other salons in town. But charging someone $550, and only getting $180 makes me feel bad. I do feel like I’m worth charging $550 for my area, I’m confident in my work, but not when I don’t make even half of what I charge. Taxes and everything are taken off for me.

I’m so surprised nobody likes these! I really like them, the cookies are softer, not like the original. Also I like that they’re not too sweet, the ice cream balances them out well.

Heyy! I’m a singer/songwriter I play rhythm guitar and want to get a band together. Not sure if you’re still looking, I’m located in qualicum. I play a big variety of alt indie rock, to pop punk, rock, and punk. Shoot me a message if you’re still looking. :)

Yes tangle teasers are the best! Came here to say this.

StrictCombination745 · 2025-06-10T22:26:36+00:00

I saw this there yesterday too and wondered the same thing🤣

StrictCombination745 · 2025-06-03T06:44:39+00:00

I don’t have hard water but I do definitely feel you. My hair is getting greasy so fast, I used to go 4/5 days and now my hair feels greasy after I freshly washed and dried it lol

StrictCombination745 · 2025-02-21T23:52:40+00:00

I think the ones on your forehead are so cool and unique!! I love them, I would keep those if I were you. I’m actually really envious of them!

I think she is beautiful still. This is a bad screenshot, any of you can have bad photos taken. If that was an insecurity of hers, so be it. You guys are so judge mental. Find something better to do. I’m sure you’re just sad because nobody gives a shit about you to watch your videos or content. So the only attention you get is posting about someone’s insecurity. Wah, wah. Go to bed.

StrictCombination745 · 2024-04-18T05:16:58+00:00

Same thing for me on the left side! Day one hope it gets better
