Do you tip the hairdressers?

No.

I really don't understand tipping culture, I need it obviously explained to me if I should tip.

I used to but not anymore. Prices are extortionate compared to what they used to be and something has to give.

I always tip. I love my hairdresser.

I don’t tip for hair, nails or any other beauty treatment in the UK. My nail lady as commented a couple of times how well paid they are at that salon so I definitely don’t feel the need to there.

Exception is I tipped at the hairdressers the other week because it was her birthday.

My cut and colour is 210 - I tip 20 quid to take it to 230 but I do feel sometimes like that’s seen as being cheap (the reaction is never anything other than ‘oh…thanks’) and it annoys me because tbh I feel 210 is a lot!

I don’t tip. She can charge me what she actually wants but I also always pay cash.

If im paying cash i will say keep the change but if im paying card no

Never, my hairdresser charges enough as it is.

Yes I do, but I wouldn’t if a visit to the hairdressers cost that much!!

I have a wet cut at local small hairdressers and costs £20 - I sometimes tip 5 and at Christmas etc I give £10-20. She does a really great cut

I used to chuck a tenner in the jar but now it's so expensive for about 20 minutes work? Nah! I spent £235 on me and the 3 dds hair last month.

I don’t tip. I hate tipping through the year. Instead I look after everyone at Christmas and do everyone a little envelope with some money inside. I find it’s more appreciated at that time of year. Varies depending who it is/how often I see them or a food hamper or a nice practical gift rather than cash depending on their age. I find the older generation don’t appreciate cold hard cash and much prefer the well thought out gift or hamper. Nail lady will get £100 as I see her every 3/4 weeks. Husband and sons barber will also get £100, my hairdresser £50 as I only see her a couple times a year, facialist £100 as again I see her monthly, Botox lady will be nice bottle champagne. Gardner and his team will be £100, ironing lady will be champagne, gym staff will be a huge biscuit/tea/coffee/crates of Diet Coke hamper to share amongst themselves as there are so many of them so I’d rather spend £100 and go get some goodies for the staff room. It does end up costing a fair bit but it actually costs me less than tipping in the year and as I’ve said it’s much more appreciated this time of year.

Only!!!

No, he owns the salon and it is £140 for my cut
I usually bring him a coffee or a cake or something

No. I don't tip.

But I would never pay £290 at a hairdressser.

£290 is ridiculous. There is no way I'd tip on top of that.

£290 for a cut and colour?

I have long hair and pay £90 for cut and colour! I do also tip £10.
I probably wouldn’t have tipped anything either if I’d been charged £290!

I tip £5 but my hair cut and highlights is only £80.

Yes, I’ve just been and tipped £5 on a £35 trim - only there 30 minutes. I’m getting a colour in 4 weeks and they said between £95 and £115 and I’ll only be tipping £5 again. I don’t like the tip culture but it feels awkward giving nothing.

Yes. 10%. I am probably a mug as she co-owns the salon, but businesses are struggling and she is very good with curly hair. I don't want to have to find another hairdresser!

That's so expensive! I assume the salon must be in Kensington or Mayfair or somewhere like that?

Me and now members of my family all go the same hairdresser's and have build up relationships with the stylists so always tip. They are good, great value, so at least 10per cent.

I used to go to a more expensive one before moving town and did tip but didn't really want ro because the cost was high enough! Xx

I always tip my hairdresser in cash after a cut. Tip both when there’s cut and colour (ie stylist and colourist), usually £10 ea.

I have stopped as the price is increased every six months at the salon I use.
