do you need a license?
though it sounds like the guy found someone with a license already (risk of getting in trouble with you) and willing to work.
i would find another job and file for unemployment.

You are in the informal economy. The problem with you violating laws left and right is that when you try to turn someone in for doing this (see the illegality of having you work specific hours but not paying the proper share of the social security taxes by calling you a 'contractor') then you also turn yourself in.
Personally, I doubt you are the first person to be screwed by this guy and so the moral and right thing to do is get whatever of this illegal activity (paying you half under the table, knowingly employing you without a licence, not paying proper taxes on your employment), get some hard evidence (use your phone to record a conversation where you bring up these issues with the boss) and then turn the guy in with the state attorney general's office.
If you can't handing doing the right and proper thing here then you need to follow the second best advice, after this, in this thread:
STFU and get some personal responsibility.
Anyone find it amusing you need to get licenced to work on nails?
It's because of sanitation and training to keep from spreading disease. Don't want to be cutting somebody's bloody cuticles and then using that on the next customer.

During a time in my life I worked delivering pizza. I also had to do dishes and make pies and help the cook. I was paid $4/hour for anywhere from 30-80 hours a week. I was never paid overtime. It lasted about 9 months this period - and during which I saw this guy break child labor laws (hiring 15 and 16 year olds and having them work beyond the alloted time for that age group), OSHA laws (using caustic chemicals, no MSDS), having children (those same 15 and 16 year olds) operate meat slicers, and never paid a dime in taxes. I loathed the place but it was all I could do to get by. Thus when I was able - and after I left after a particularly horrific shouting match with the drunken boss - I turned them in to the IRS, the states AG, the local tax authority, the state, and everyone else I could think of and find to report to. I was awarded a check for a few hundred dollars for overtime, and he was required to pay my back taxes and issue a W-2 (see he had "said" he was paying them but really didn't). The pizza place is now gone.

He said, implicitly, that "darkies" don't care about infections that lead to the loss of digits.
This would be 100% OK if it was just a stereotype about white people suing... but when people lose parts of their body, well it only makes sense to sue... unless you are an ignorant "colored" (ie not white) person; which is exactly what this fuckhead just implied.

Do you get just a check or a paystub that shows withholding of taxes.
Check makes you an independent contractor - no benefits or unemployment. You get the work allocated by the employer and that is all.
Paystub is for an employee and you then have taxes withheld as ability to collect unemployment.

I think we just got a glimpse of why your boss wants to be rid of your uneducated sorry little ass.
Here's to rooting for your boss :beer:

A person with the screenname qtnguyen (not that it matters, but it makes it funnier) makes a derogatory comment about white people? That's racist.
Anyone find it amusing you need to get licenced to work on nails?
Does it seem to anyone else that the posters accusing him of being racist seem to be more bigoted?
I can easily see the 2nd reply in response to the 1st disparaging his job, but the 3rd and 4th show explicit racism.

the 3rd (dixie's post) was just the op's post re-worded. it is pretty much what the guy said.
anyways we are getting OT here so im just gonna call me lawyer and call the ira etc etc and see where this puts me. If they didnt care about putting me off for a couple of weeks and me having no work, well i guess i dont care about how this business operate and just report any illegal activfity there.
