| How much do you tip your hair stylist? My old stylist charged $55 for a haircut and $135 for a cut and partial foil. I always tipped him $10 no matter which service I got. How much do you tip your hairstylist? Do you do it on a percentage or a specific dollar amount? I always wondered if I really needed to tip my stylist. When I calculate out the hourly rate, he makes more than I do, nearly twice as much! And I am a professional with a Masters Degree! My clients sure as heck don't tip me.

| I ALWAYS tip my stylist! I couldn't live without her! And would'nt want to try! I always come away with something great. She always listens to what I want and also offers suggestions if I ask! I always give at least 15%, but usually 20%. I always get a haircut, style and color (either full or touchup) I consider it a treat to myself! Now, on the other hand, if I went to a stylist and wasn't thrilled with the outcome or even the attitude, I wouldn't tip as much.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | If the stylist owns the shop...it's not really necessary to tip. They get the entire fee. Otherwise I tip 20% of the total amount charged.

| My stylist owns her shop - she charges $20.00 for a simple cut/trim and I always tip her $5. |

| If I like it, I'll tip anywhere from $5 - $10. On the other hand, if they completely butcher me and do exactly opposite of what I clearly stated then I tip nothing.

| But if they own the shop don't they have a bigger "nut"? I tip the same for owner or operator...I guess it's because my Daughter and I both RELY on tips. (I have worked for tips for 20 years) and every little bit helps!!

One daughter does my hair and the other does my nails. They both rent space in the same salon....I don't tip them (or, have to pay for services...because i'm the MOM) but they do get tipped very well. Just thought I would throw this in...could never understand this.

| My hairdresser is the owner and I do tip him. Because I'm mathmatically challenged I start from 20% and then round up.
