I'm currently having issues at my salon where I am a stylist assistant. I've done some research on the information but am having a hard time finding anything on what my jobs at the salon ~technically~ are. My employer is having me be a full time assistant, receptionist, partial manager, personal assistant, and cleaning crew. I'm just looking to see whether or not this is all legal? He is paying me hourly (only minimum wage $10/hr) but I have no set schedules, am constantly working at least 10hours or more over the standard 40 hours a week, and I am not currently under contract. Any help is much appreciated 😊

Well, I know that based on how much you are working, you should be getting overtime. Additionally, you should be receiving at least and hour break.
In terms of duties/set schedule, that's something you'd need to discuss & possibly enforce with your boss.

Based on your contract or written agreement, determined wether your position is part time, full time or if your an independent contractor. Contact your local department of labor to find which laws or regulations apply to the beauty industry in your area.
