Any hair-dressers out there?

Hello,
As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I have just bought a hair salon (well. in the process of doing so...), in order to be more flexible and hopefully get a better wage than I am currently on.
I sat down with the salon owner today, and she pays 4 part-time hairdressers a basic of £5.60 per hour and then 50% commission, this seems very high commission to me - in fact, the salon is not fully booked and is a small salon and not one of the big, posh, high street salons, so at times it only just covers its costs. I will probably have to change this system, but before thinking about what to do with regards to this, I was wondering what the normal "salary" system is for hairdressers? Also, how do you suggest I approach these hairdressers, which are used to having the commision and basic structure already in place?
It may be that I have to keep this for the main, and best stylist? Just needing a bit of advice if possible please?
Many thanks
