First time I went to a new place today. Paid £290 for cut and colour (short hair).

I was really pleased with the colour and cut!!

two different ladies I had, one for cut and one for colour.

I found they were sort of ‘hovering’ around me when I left, even helped me put my coat on.

aibu to have not tipped them? I feel awful 😢 I don’t usually go to the hair dressers often at all and now I’m worried I should have done? I feel now they may have been expecting it.

@BowlyLarrim actually really regretting paying that price to be honest I probably won’t be back. It’s a shame

Never. It’s expensive enough as it is (I’m horrified at the thought of £290 - how long will that last?)

I’ve just been and tipped £10
on a £55 cut and blow. I really like my hairdresser. They often have their own card machine now in their pockets so there’s no need to look for change. I did feel bad about the apprentice though.

Never. She’s really expensive, and no doubt tips herself. She’s also the owner, and sets the prices.

I usually don't.

However, when I last went to get a haircut (my first professional one in YEARS), the hairdresser was so chilled out and really chatty (but not in a way that makes me scared or makes my social anxiety flare up) and so kind, and the haircut only cost £10 so I tipped her £10
