Controversial Topic: Booth Rent vs. Commission Which Model Actually Builds Better Barbers?
This debate has been going on for YEARS in the industry, and everybody has an opinion… but I want to hear YOURS.
Barbers:
- Do you feel like booth rent gives you more freedom…or does it make you lazy with no real structure?
- Do you feel like commission shops take too much of your money…or does the mentorship, walk-ins, systems, and accountability justify it?
- Which model helped you grow FASTER in your career and why?
Shop Owners:
- Are barbers more committed and dependable on commission,or do they perform better when they’re paying booth rent out of their own pocket?
- Which model gives you a stronger culture and long-term retention?
- If you could start over today, which model would you choose and why?
🔥 Follow-Up: The Real Question Nobody Wants to Answer…
Are barbers choosing booth rent because they want freedom
or because they want to avoid accountability, systems, and business growth?
And…
Are shop owners choosing commission because it benefits the barbers
or because it keeps them “locked in” and makes the owner more money?
Let’s be HONEST with this one.
Drop your REAL thoughts, your experiences, your wins, your frustrations.
This discussion is meant to open eyes, challenge mindsets, and help every barber understand what structure ACTUALLY builds a successful long-term career.
