Tipping your hairdresser

Asked by babylove138 4 months ago, 4 answers.

I get my hair cut at this expensive salon and the first time I went I paid 100 dollars and I gave her a 10 dollar tip because I thought you're supposed to tip them. Later my friend told me that you don't have to tip them! All that money goes to them...

anyway... Is this true? Do I have to tip her next time?

I think the rule is, you don't tip the owner of the salon, if he or she does your hair, but you do tip the stylists.

I tip my hairdresser according to how well she did my hair. If you don't want to pay for an expensive haircut, go to a cheaper salon.

Yes, you can tip your hairstylist. It is always appreciated and they work very hard.
I used to be a hairstylist and I know that I certainly appreciated my customers leaving a tip, especially the regulars (people that came to me on a regular basis). If you are just going to a stylist for just one time, to get a cut or something, you don't need to tip (I don't think anyway).
Stylist work differently in different shops. Some pay a certain amount to rent a booth and they work for themselves. Others may work for the owner and have to give the owner a certain percentage of what they make, so they don't always get to keep the money they get.
I say, tip your stylist if she is good and you are their regular customer.
