Never choose a profession based on pay; do what you love and the money, as they say, will follow. Income would depend on the salon, location (in the US), ability to build a steady clientele, talent, expertise, and the arrangements made with the salon. Salon owners stand to make the most, but have the most risk and responsibility.
