Is this business owner taking advantage of me?

I work out of a tanning salon and spa.  It was my first job after school and licensure.  I am starting to feel like I may have been taken advantage of due to ignorance because I am a newbie.  It is a 50/50 split commission.  I am required to provide all of my products and things.  They provide me with a room and machines.  When I filed taxes they gave me a 1099 MISC.  They take no taxes from my check.  They try to give me rules such as how my makeup and hair should look etc.  I have filled out no paperwork or an application with this company.  I do not have a key.  I am confused and need advice from someone that is a little more seasoned.

Where are you working now Amy? Would love to hear an update if you don't mind sharing and hopefully it is a better situation for you.

I am currently unemployed.  I left the bad situation and was working at a salon that ended up closing down.  I took a job as administrative assistant after the salon closed and got laid off at the end of May.  I have had some really bad job luck.  If anyone knows anyone in the Nashville area that is hiring please let me know.
