I made $13 in tips today =) But I'm WICKED nervous for tomorrow!! It'll be my FULL day in the salon! And of course its a friday...So itll probs be busy! WISH ME LUCK!

So what is the breakdown of one's cashflow working in a salon? I've always wondered. For instance, when I was in college I waited tables and got a very low base salary (something like $2.50/hr) and pretty much had to survive on tips, which were highly variable. Some days I'd go home with $10 after working 16 hours, sometimes I'd make $300 in the 3 hour dinner shift. Is it the same working in salons, or are the tips just icing on the cake?
