To ask if this is a good price? Self employed

My local hairdressers is offering rent a chair/ self employed in their salon. Plenty of room. The cost is one hundred and sixty pounds a week?
I have no idea is this good, or is it expensive?
160 a week?

Well this will vary. Central London will be more expensive than rural Norfolk.

Are you a hairdresser? This would be the cost of a full head of foils and a couple of cuts/blow dries to cover that in a week so seems like a fair price but does that include the cost of products (whoever rebts the chair may need to use the salon products or buy their own) insurance etc?

I think it’s an excellent price.

Sounds cheap to me. I don’t work in the industry but for half a head of foils and a cut and blow dry I pay £160, so one appointment could cover the outlay of the chair.

Sounds dirt cheap

Extremely cheap. I paid more as a beauty therapist in London in 2008!
