That depends. Working on commission means that you will be an employee, or possibly a subcontractor. Usually this arrangement pays less than if you work for yourself. If you get paid by the hour, then you definitely will be an employee, and, generally, unless you work for a high end spa or hotel, than you would be paid the least. The one caution about commission is that it tends to pay more per massage, the more massages you do. This may leave you prone to overworking yourself, and that can lead to burn-out or injury. If you choose to work for someone else, I suggest that you do it for a short time only, maybe six -nine months so you can learn more about the business, then work for yourself. Be sure you get more information about working as an employee or subcontractor as most massage therapists are really being taken advantage of and being hired as a subcontractor without any benefits because massage employers try to save money.
If you are a subcontractor you are basically self employed so paying a percentage often could be considered a kickback but you would have to check with an attorney to be sure.
