>They get some cut of the base pricing plus tip money. Idea is they'll come out profitable on a regular basis despite paying to be there. I'm fairly sure this is also how strippers often work. Pay the house a fee for the night somewhere in the $50-$200 range, and then hopefully make it back in tips and private dances before the end of the evening. In all three cases - strippers, hairdressers, consultants - this results in a clear and unambiguous motivation to do a good job and provide value to your customers or you lose your shirt. In a manner of speaking.
