What are the responsibilities of a booth renter?
Booth rental is legally defined as an establishment or business attached to or within a licensed salon or shop that is operated independently by a licensed booth renter. This means rentees are not an employee of the salon who are paid a set wage, but instead a contractor/sole proprietor of their business generating their own income and setting their own hours. A rentee is simply paying to run their business within the salon and must abide by the requirements of state board for their specific license. This means all necessary licensing, tools, equipment, products, marketing, etc needed to run your business are the responsibility of the rentee. Some of these responsibilities are:
> Towels
> Combs, clips, brushes
> Cleaning and disinfecting products
> Scheduling, payment, and telephone service
> Marketing and social media management
> Filing and managing federal and state taxes
> Bookkeeping
​
All of the expenses from running your business are tax deductible but are your sole responsibility to provide.
*Rentee = person renting space
*Renter = owner of salon
