Tipping a hair stylist?

i get my hair done every month, by the same woman. i tip her $10 every time. is that enough? since i am her client every month, i figured $10 would be good, considering i'm not giving business to other hair dressers. am i wrong?





i only get touch ups on my roots, which is $55Tipping a hair stylist?
Totally agree with hairbender


percentages are for food service.. not hair


its really simple.


if you pay 30$ and under for a haircut.. its 5$


if you get haircolor 60$ and under its 5$


anything beyond that to 100 is 10$


I've received up to 120$ for a tip personally


The things you need to keep in mind.


If you are a regular every month (4-6 weeks) client and you tip consistently.. what you tip means alot.


Don't think that it isn't appreciated because it is.


I will also be honest in telling you that if I have a client i see every month that tips me 15-20 on a 90$ bill will move to the front of the line and I will most likely do whatever I can do get them in last minute or whatever fits their schedule.


If you think that is ridiculous. The person tips me more which both makes me feel that they really appreciate and feel that my work is underpaid.


If you can't wrap your head around that.. Go get your hair done in chicago or nyc.Tipping a hair stylist?
she get about 100 clients a month, and 10$ a month = 1200 a year. its good for her. but if you really want to save money, give her tips every other time maybe..








Hope It Helps!!!
That is a extremely generous tip. i would say she is very happy with you.
25% of total bill
Whoa!! $10 tip?? That is very good.... I would be happy with that.





A tip means ';to insure prompt service';. If you feel that you were treated very well, then you may want to leave something extra. But a salon will charge what it thinks is fair, and you shouldn't have to give anything extra to anyone, not even the shampoo girl or the doorman!





The amount of a tip is typically computed as a percent of the transaction minus taxes. These payments and their size are a matter of social custom. Tipping varies among cultures and by service industry. Though by definition a tip is never legally required, and its amount is at the discretion of the person being served, in some circumstances failing to give an adequate tip when one is expected would be considered very miserly, a violation of etiquette, or unethical. In some other cultures or situations, giving a tip is not expected and offering one would be considered condescending or demeaning. In some circumstances (such as tipping government workers), tipping is illegal.





In some circles, and since you are a regular client, it may be better that you bring an extra special gift at special times of the year -- birthday, Christmas, etc. -- to show your appreciation that she has treated you well over the year. If you are a one-time customer, then a tip may be more appropriate to insure that you are welcome again.
yes, 10 is a great tip.
im a stylist and thats a perfectly fine tip especially since your going religiously every month!
Im a hairstylist and that is a good tip. If you think about it that is 20% which is more than most people leave, if anything. When a client leaves me a tip even if it is a few dollars I am happy.
yea thats good
i'm sure she should be happy with that considering there are people working for minimum wage that is less than 10$ per hour
