Going Solo: Making the Transition From Commission to Independent

Everything in this section is written for the person behind the chair. Start with the money questions. You will find pricing math you can run on your own numbers. You will also find honest comparisons of the software competing for your subscription. From there, the posts split two ways. Some cover early decisions, like going independent, setting a cancellation policy, or filling a brand-new column. Others go deeper into the work of a full book. That means raising prices without losing regulars, turning first-timers into standing appointments, and reading your own numbers once a month. StyleSeat shows up where it is relevant, and we say plainly what it does not do.
