If you are not going to hire employees for your salon, there are a few tips I would like to share with you. We always want to avoid potential pitfalls when you staff your salon with independent contractors. As someone who has worked as a salon employee, independent contractor, and salon owner, I have a few pointers for those evaluating their options!

Independent Contractor: Owner can’t control their work time ,provide tool etc…. so They also can have own price range? Owner can’t let them follow the salon price?
If so , What the difference of individual business owner and Independent Contractor?
Hi Ivelisse,
Well you have a lot of questions, so let’s break it down.
First for a partnership, I would consult an attorney who can walk you through the legalize. Things can get complicated and it’s best to have a contract that spells out each persons responsibilities. Having these things spelled out and contracts signed will help alleviate any future issues.
I have found that Physicians Assistants and Nurse Practitioners are easier to get to help with consulting to get your business off the ground. Networking or placing an ad on social media can help.
Good luck on your endeavors!
Thank you for this helpful article. How about going into buisness with another person? Is there a legal forms we should fill out,how can I find legal documents of what I can and can’t do, how to find a physician that is willing to help an aesthetic open a place of business
Hi Kris,
As an business owner working with an Independent Contractor, you cannot dictate anything but the hours the doors are open. You cannot tell them how much to charge, you do not supply them with tools, products etc.
The difference between the business owner and a contractor is clear. The Business owner holds all the debt, responsibility and liability. The contractor comes and goes while providing services at the business location. For additional clarification, contact a Tax Professional in your area to make sure you are compliant with the new laws.

A smooth, flawless wax can leave your skin looking and feeling incredible, but proper aftercare is essential to maintain those results and keep your skin healthy. Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive and needs extra attention to avoid irritation, redness, or ingrown hairs.
