Huge tip at work!

My daughter (17) received a huge tip at work today and she is so pleased and proud of herself! She has started an apprenticeship recently in a hairdressers after making the decision her college course was not for her. She has also kept her Sunday job that she has had since she was 15 so now works 6 days a week. She got pulled aside at work this afternoon and was told that a client had left her a tip for washing her hair but wanted to remain anonymous. She was tipped £100! She is on cloud 9, such an incredible act of kindness for someone to do. My daughter is so proud and has given her confidence that she is doing a great job.

I have been leaving bigger tips than usual since things have started re opening but this gesture is amazingly kind.

Wow that's great!

Well done her!

What's she going to spend it on? Or save it?

Congratulations to your DD!

Well done that young woman, she must give a hell of a hair wash! 👏🏻

I'm glad they told her. When I was the Saturday girl at a hairdressers, I got tips and they went into a joint pot but were only split between the two hairdressers. At age 15 I didn't realise that wasn't right.

Each person has their own individual tip pot that they can collect at the end of the day but she was pulled aside and told, apparently the salon has never had a tip that large before!
She has one of those money pots that you have to smash to open that she has been filling with notes and £2 coins so she has put £60 straight in there and the other £40 she is going to treat herself to something she would normally not but unsure what yet! I’m so pleased for her, someone made her very happy today!

I am also wanting her to give me a hair wash as it must be pure luxury!
