Booth rental is when a barber pays a shop a fixed rent (daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) for a chair and keeps what they earn from their own clients. The barber runs their own book, sets their own prices and hours, and the shop provides the space, the chair and the amenities.
With booth rent, the barber pays the shop a set amount and keeps 100% of what their clients pay. With commission, the shop keeps a percentage of each service, and the shop usually has more say over the schedule and the book. Many shops offer both. On BOOTH a shop can list rent plans with a price and commission chairs whose split is worked out with the shop directly.
