Cashless hairdressing tipping - how to do it?

Like many of you I am delighted to be having my long-awaited hair appointment on Wednesday -just can't wait! I went today for a colour test to ensure there are no serious reactions post Covid/jabs, as some reports suggest there may be a small risk of a reaction. My question really relates to whether we can/should tip our hairdresser when we are cashless in the salon and leaving a cash tip may raise an unwelcome risk. I always find tipping a bit awkward as it is, never sure how much, and this will just make it more of question - any advice please!

I've been paying with a card for years now. I ask them to add an extra tenner or whatever when paying.

I don't tip hairdressers as I consider them professionals and feel it is a bit demeaning to them. I wouldn't tip others like dentists or nurses for the same reason.

Add the amount to your card payment.

Our hairdresser is able to add the tip but keep it separate.

Ours have labelled 'piggy banks' for us to put the cash in, so it is 'quarantined'. Otherwise, ask them to add it to the bill.
