Poll: Do you tips ur hair stylist?
(Vote): Yea, why not?
(Vote): No way

Just wondering if i should tips any hair stylist or not from now on

Story behind it
+ Show Spoiler +

Well i went to this korean place to get an haircut, after she cuts my hair i paid the amount and left some tips. Surprisingly she didn't want any tips and said its not necessary but i still tipped her. Afterward i asked my friends and they all said they never tips hair stylist. However, when i go to this chinese hair salon and get an haircut and leave some tips they dont say anything O_o? and were thankful.

ps haircut was 15 i paid 20 and let her keep the change but i got this card that give u discount so it really just cost me 12,50

I always tip the hairstylists It's probably a culture thing but I feel that anyone doing a service for me that directly effects the way I'm perceived should be taken care of.

Yes, as long as she were to do a somewhat good job, and have a pleasant attitude.

What if the service was unsatisfactory due to a reason that the person providing the service could have prevented?

Ya same, I always tip them. Regardless if they gave me a bad haircut or whatnot. It's just a cultural courtesy i guess.
I know in other countries, if you leave a tip, it's considered insulting. why? Because it's like they're poor and you're pitying them or something.

my brother always tips his hair stylist $20 after she gives him a cut and color. I dunno if it's because she does a really nice job, or just because she is soo damn hot! either way I think tipping is perfectly natural, and hair stylists typically rent out a chair at a salon, so tipping them is nice because they work on commission, not by the hour.

Since hairstylists make a large part of their income from tipping... yeah!

Ya same, I always tip them. Regardless if they gave me a bad haircut or whatnot. It's just a cultural courtesy i guess


this attitude boggles me. The whole point of tipping someone is to say "thanks, you really went above and beyond. Here. Monetary representation of my thanks".

If a hairstylist gives me a bad haircut, they've not earned their tip, and so should not get one. (it encourages them to be shitty). If a waitress does not wait on my table up to satisfaction, she does not get a tip - she's paid hourly to serve me, she does not deserve the monetary thanks unless she's done something to be thankful for.

I cannot stand my friends who do not tip. I also get peeved about people who tip regardless.

The service industry has such a huge range in quality, it's up to the consumer to encourage good service and discourage bad service. You do this by tipping correctly.

In countires where tipping is common, you should tip well for good service and small for bad service. 0 tip is as bad idea.

hahahahaha


but seriously, tip if they do it well. tips are a way of gauging customer satisfaction in regards to how well you performed your job. if everyone left tips regardless of quality of service, you might get complacent and build a false sense of security when the truth is that you are only mediocre.

only for my wedding day it's not a usual thing here in Armenia to tip the barbers, though tipping in other service spheres (mostly restaurants) is widespread here

I don't tip at all if I dont like a certain service, whatever it is. This thread made me wonder if I'm a minority...

If my service is actually bad I don't tip. If it is average I will probably tip a normal amount. I don't really expect anything special from a waiter for example. However, if I feel a waiter/waitress goes over and beyond expected and not being annoying I usually tip well.

I have been going to the same hair stylist since I was like 5, my parents tipped about 5$ and so do I.

Well I usually go to the same saloon to cut my hair, have been for about 3ish years so I like it.
But if I really didn't like their service I probably wouldn't tip either but i'd have to really not like it and i'd feel a bit bad -_-'

lol @ the tipping vending machine/banks comments haha

Well im not sure about Sweden, but in North America most hair stylists work on commission only. They are rented a chair in the hair salon, and have to pay rental fees. Typically they can keep between 40-70% of the money from each persons haircut. So tipping is very common, knowing that they are working for themselves, and are actually trying to please the customer in fear of losing their clientel.

tip good service, don't tip bad service, quite simple imo.

in portugal NO ONE tips, it's ridiculous. Since i was brought up in the states, when i went to portugal i would always tip services. there are problems however, not only do people look at you sideways, they don't have a tip jar so a lot of the times they stuff it in the register which tilts me, most of the time you have to go out of your way to say it's for them, and i just "excuse" my behavior by stating im a foreigner.

it was kind of hilarious how many people thought i was hitting on them, and their colleagues due to the tips.

i cut my own hair and i don't do enough things that would require me to tip, but whenever i go out to eat, i always tip at least 10% even if the service wasn't that good (unless s/he was a bitch, then they don't get anything.) 15% if it was decent and 20% if it was great.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

I tip my barber $5.00. It's worth every penny, they know me by name and take so much extra time and care when they cut my hair over the cheap assholes tipping $1.00 or rounding up to the next dollar giving them like $0.60.

By the way, my haircuts cost $7.00 at a military barber. They actually have suprisingly good barbers considering its a military salon.
