Color Street Compensation Plan: How It Pays
Color Street’s plan, effective March 1, 2025, pays Stylists retail commissions on their own personal volume (PV). According to the company’s compensation plan update, base retail commissions are 25% paid weekly, and enhanced retail commissions are paid monthly in increments when thresholds are reached, topping out at a cumulative 40% for Stylists with 250 PV or more in a month. Direct Selling News reported the plan also pays an additional 15% on retail sales of personally sponsored first-level Stylists.
Ranks and Requirements
Earlier versions of the plan (for example 2023) required monthly volume plus Leg requirements to reach higher ranks such as Gold Stylist and above. The March 2025 plan restructured parts of this.
