What shops pay in Wodonga
- $80,000 to $90,000 a year2 open roles
Another 1 listing doesn't state pay, which usually means it's negotiated on experience.
Australian barbering pays three ways. Hourly or salaried roles give you a guaranteed base, common in busier walk-in shops. Commission deals pay a percentage of what you cut, so a full book beats a quiet one. Rent-a-chair flips it: you pay the shop a fixed rent, keep everything you take, and run your own book. Plenty of shops blend a base with commission on top, and the listing states which model applies.
