I am an esthetician and at one time planned on opening my own skin care studio. If I had, I would have had built into my prices what I wanted to make for each service and not accepted tips. I think it would be fantastic if all owners did this but they don't meaning they are counting on tips and that is why I tip my stylist even though he is the owner. If the owner has set their prices to not rely on tipping they will let you know that when you try to tip them.
eta- I think this post could be in the running for worst run on sentence on YT.
