If you are a Hairdresser- how often are you given a tip ?

[EatsQuorn]

As a question on a different thread but about tipping in restaurants .
Do you receive a tip by every client or how often on average ?

I always tip my hairdresser, usually £5

Me too - £5 tip.

I have stopped tipping, maybe once every three cuts but it was getting unaffordable.

£5 to my colourist/stylist and £2 to my shampoo girl.

Never. They charge a ton of money already, and my hairdresser is the salon owner. I tip in restaurants and cafes, though.

I never tip. I have no reason to believe she earns LESS than I do. my customers never ever tip me because it's not 'done' so it's ridiculous.

I would feel resentful tipping her.

I'm not a hairdresser, when I say my customers, I mean, the people I do work for.

Nope, no tip except for Christmas.

£130 an hour is better than I'm paid

I always tip my hairdresser unless they are the salon owner.

Never.

Sorry, misread OP I meant to say that I never tip my hairdresser. It has never occurred to me TBH.

Nope.

Have my roots done every 6 weeks at £110 and cut every 12 weeks at £85 so annually it’s £££ - each takes about 30 mins of her time. Been doing this for 15 years and likely will keep going indefinitely so as a regular customer having spent over £20,000 to date - no tip needed

I think every poster here so far has failed to read the OP.

I read it, then disregarded it 😂

I think every poster here so far has failed to read the OP.

So annoying for OP no doubt.

About 50% of clients tip and £3-£5 average on a £35-£100 bill. Odd £10 or £20 but that's maybe one client a fortnight.

Yes the post was aimed at hairdressers and not clients . I just thought it would be more interesting to hear directly. 50 posts could say they tip always , but a hairdresser could tell a different story.

The comprehension skills on here are appalling!

I clicked on this thread thinking it would be interesting to read the experience of hairdressers on this. Unfortunately it’s just full of people who haven’t read the OP

My hairdresser is a girl I taught when she was younger. I’m very proud of her and I do tip her, but don’t routinely.

I would say about 10% tip me a few £ then I get one or two that will tip me £10.
I’m self employed, so many clients think I get all the money that they pay, not taking in to account my expenses/tax/NI etc.

This is what I do and it’s conventional

I'd love to know if salon (small business, not large London firm!) receive tips and if you do are they viewed as offensive.

Wow, how do you know how much she earns an hour? That’s an amazing wage.

Nope, used to when she first started doing my hair, but it's been the best part of 15 years now.
I take goodies instead, so we'll sit and eat doughnuts/chocolates drink tea and have a good gossip while my colour is on.
