HOW MUCH DO YOU TIP YOUR HAIRDRESSER?

I only ever have a dry cut which costs £18 and so I give her £2 tip.

15%

I have naturally curly hair I go the hairdressers with freshly washed hair.
The hairdresser cuts it puts some mousse on it and I let it dry naturally.
I usually get charged £16 I let her keep the change she cuts it exactly how I want it so it's worth the tip.

I don’t (tip).

One woman band works from home. I ask how much, she tells me, I pay her that amount.

I pay by card and ask her to add £5 to the £28 charge.

Same here. She gets coffee and biscuits though.

I don't she's a friend of the family - she comes for supper.

About 10% - or closest rounding near 10%

10% or thereabouts

I usually think 10% so on my £16 wash and cut I give her £2.

I always pay on my card but there are tip tins on the counter so I put anything up to £5 in hers. I always buy her a birthday gift plus I always buy the salon some nice biscuits or chocolates at Christmas.

I used to tip everybody, but I decided last year not to, as they should be paid sufficient money.

I was always taught that you don’t tip the owner of a business, so I don’t tip my hairdresser, except at Christmas.
I’ve just come back from a coach trip and tipped the driver/ tour leader, even though he owns the business. He worked incredibly hard, looking after all the arrangements as well as driving, and always putting our comfort as a high priority.

Difficult one Cabbie.My hairdresser owns the business but she still has a tin on the counter with her name on it for tips

My bill is usually about £100, and I always give her £10

Dry cut £15 tip £3.

I do tip- but really, I think it’s expensive enough. My hairdresser has just bought a brand new EV, whilst I am running around in an eight year old car 🙄

Like my husband says, nobody ever tipped us at work.
I always tipped the builder- why? When he’s living in a big, fancy house.

I dont tip.

That’s what I thought, Cabbie21, but mobile hairdressers or ones who ‘rent’ chairs are a bit different, I think.
Funnily enough, we were at a function last week, and talking about tips for the waiting staff, and the lovely young man who served us was telling us ( after we had tipped him), that since Covid more people are paying their share of a bill by card, so their tips have gone down a good bit.
I’d always ask if tips added on to a card payment goes to the staff, but usually try to have coins for the junior hairdresser’s staff.

My hairdresser is expensive.I never tip.

My cut and blow dry is £26.50 so I give her £30 and tell her to keep the change, if I also have my eyebrows tinted it costs £12 and I give her an extra £2,

I'm so thankful we don't do tipping in NZ!

I don’t tip either why should I tip a hairdresser but not a nurse
It doesn’t make sense it’s done to make you feel good well I d rather give to charity My hairdresser has much more money than me judging by her house and car I ll give her tip to my favourite charity instead
