How much do you tip at the hairdressers?

I pay £67 every 3 months or so and dh knows what I pay. I clip his hair for him and have also cut dds hair so we save money that way. Ds won't let me touch his hair 😆

Nothing. They earn more than I do and it's not the 1920s.

This!

Push back? Our finances are joint, my husband has clippers and gives himself a no.2.
I pay £75 at the hairdresser. He knows that's important to me so it's never a problem..

Question for another thread. Given how much women's cuts are (as demonstrated above), do you ever get push-back from your partner? Do they even know how much it is?

A family member does mine for free, so I'm genuinely curious!

Why £2?.

I haven't been to the hairdresser's in ages. I didn't realise how expensive it was.

I don't tip anyone on the basis that I work a very low paid customer facing job that would never ever be considered for tips. My hair dresser earns a lot more than me, she's had 4 holidays and a fully renovated house in the last 18 months!!

Saying that, I love my hairdresser and often bring her a coffee and always get her a Christmas present because she is like my therapist. And she is good at her job.

Jeeez, nothing! As if a haircut and colour wasn’t expensive enough already…!

Roughly 10%. And at Christmas I give the postpersons a tip too. Not the dustmen as we have four different teams of three.

It’s always £100 plus when I go so I don’t tip anything.

I don't.

I get my hair cut twice a year at a cost of £120 and my stylist is the owner / director of the salon.

She sets her rates and I trust that she makes a decent living out of it without me dipping my hand in my pocket again.

I don't tip the hairdresser. Is it normal to do?

£5 for a wet cut. I think it costs about £23

We don't tip as such but always give £20 to the window cleaner, postman and each refuse man at Christmas. Usually £100 to the gardener. Teachers we used to buy gifts in primary but obviously don't want to humiliate the children by suggesting they take wine and flowers in to secondary school! 😂

60 quid just a haircut and I leave a fiver. For my DS 15 £ haircut I leave 2.

I always tip my hairdresser £10. My hair usually costs me £45 for a cut and blow dry, but yesterday she only charged me £25 because she didn't need to blow dry it. I also paid £25 for my daughter's hair cut.
My hairdresser is lovely, I have been going to her for years and she knows my hair very well. I am always so pleased with my cut, and I can easily go 3 months between cuts.
I have always given her generous tips, it started off being for her holiday fund, then house, then wedding, and yesterday it became the baby fund, as she is trying.
She said that when she has a baby I can come to her house and I can hold the baby while she cuts my hair.
The tips I give her are worth every penny to me!

As a hairdresser myself, I never expect people to tip and when they do I'm extremely grateful. You may think it's expensive to get your hair done but take into account the cost of products used for colour, bills etc.

I don't tip mine, it's £55 for a cut and blow dry. Easy Anglia. I also happen to know he's very well off (he's the owner of the salon)

@GiraffesAtThePark I don't think tipping a hairdresser is a particularly American thing and it's certainly not new. I'm 66 and I can remember my mum going to the hairdresser in the early 1960s very clearly, and she and her friends would never have dreamt of not tipping their hairdressers. I was always brought up to always tip hairdressers, taxi drivers, and waiting staff. I've always given the postman a card with money in at xmas, and our Evri driver, who has been on our route for several years.

Haha that’s very kind of you but it’s not standard!

£5 or £10 depending if I've had colour or not. I'm surprised at the number that don't. I also tip the pizza guy. DS16 chased his moped down the road yesterday as we were out and he forgot to get cash out ready! Usually give him £3 or £5 depending on the order.

Jesus wept - I tipped the owner who done my hair £35 the other week!!!! I thought it was standard to tip 20% ???????? Hair cost £165 for cut/blow dry/opalex treatment and balayage . Tipped the hair washer £5. Is it patronising? 😬 (goodness knows my hair dresser deserves money for a pink gin after listening to me complain about my love life for 4 hours😅)

So glad to see so many not tipping as I always wonder if they’re thinking badly of me for not doing it. I hate the American influence of tipping. It just adds stress. It’s much simpler to just set a price and pay it.

I've only had my hair cut once in the last 5 years- so it was a treat and I chose a senior stylist because I was hoping for a new style. In the end for a cut it was £90 and I asked at the reception if I could also leave a £10 tip in cash. However they didn't take cash tips and instead they had a qr code that you could use to select the stylist and make an online payment.
I didn't mind leaving a tip because I thought that the junior who washed my hair and made the coffee would be given a share - but with this online method I doubt that they do. Which to me seemed a bit unfair. Do cash tips normally get shared out to the junior staff?
