HOW STYLIST GET PAID?

According to All About Styling, stylists can get paid in a variety of ways, dependent upon the job itself. Beginning stylists and assistants may be paid an hourly wage. Sometimes they're paid a day rate. They may be paid a flat rate that covers the length of the project at hand, which is called a buy out. Stylists working with magazines may be paid per published page, with an agreement on how many pages they'll be assigned per year. Still other stylists are put on a retainer in which they're paid a fee for a certain length of time and can be called upon at any moment during that period.
