How much do you tip your hairdresser?
Hopefully I'll get some answers before I go tomorrow.
Getting my hair cut and coloured tomorrow. I usually do these separately this is why I'm asking. It'll be about $100 for everything. I would normally tip about $5 for each person (I was raised that it is a token of appreciation not a percentage). Do you think it's fair to give $10 for cut and colour from one person? Too much, too little? I did this last time (I also got $10 off for my first visit) and she seemed kind of surprised or maybe just thankful. Wwyd?
Re: How much do you tip your hairdresser?
I usually tip 20%. If several people do the services, I tip 20% based on the price of each service (eyebrows $15 - tip $3, pedicure $35 - tip $7, etc). I've always tipped service industry people 20% (unless horrible service), but that's just because that's what's expected when I was waiting tables, and I just carried it over. I could be wrong, but that's what I do!
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
I usually tip 20% also.
I worked in the beauty industry for four years, and I can guarantee that basically no one tipped as a percentage there. It was always a 5, 10, or 20 that I got pretty much. I got a $50 tip a couple times and almost jizzed myself!
