I'm looking for hair styling tips.

[erosman]

I am going to my sisters' choice of hair salons tomorrow. I have an appointment with a locally, well-known stlyist who my sisters claim is just peachy. They say he charges $60.

Here are my questions: Do I tip him? How much do you pay for your hair styling/cutting, and how do you determine your tip...if you tip at all?

I'm looking for information upon which to base my decision. Thanks, in advance.

Here's some advice. Go to a barber, they cost $12.

Uhh...I pay $12 and just give 'em $15. 20-25% is about right. I figure I don't need a Master Aesthetist to cut a straight line.

Besides, I have curls which hide any fuckups.



Why the hell do you feel the need to spend $60 on a haircut?

I spend a lot of money on my hair. I think the tip depends. Are you going to use the person alot? Is it a one time thing? I see my Hair Stylist every 5 weeks and i don't tip her anymore. I refer a lot of people and i get her stuff for xmas and her birthday, as well as always bringing her hot chocolate or something when i come.

When i first started going to see her, i tipped her 15% just like i tip any other person in the service field.

Thanks peoples for your numbers, and thanks ameliabedilia for validating expensive hair styling. I don't know if I'll do this more than once. We'll see. What would you say, amelia, if it was a one time deal. What would you tip then?

 

[erosman]

Good point, EE. He is not the reknowned owner of this upscale salon. My sis said that the owner's prices are well over $100...but, she added probably worth it. My hair is fine, and mistakes can be glaring.

glam! you tip 100% Shit, and you want me to get a crew cut? This salon would be right up your...errr...alley, glam. I think it'll be stretching for me

one time deal?

Tip like you would in a restaurant. If it's good, you tip good. If it's not, then that is up to you. I ALWAYS tip.

Thank goodness I cut my own hair, and that's very rarely, just enough to get rid of a few split ends and that's it. It's so much easier to deal with if you let it grow and grow and grow!
