Tipping hairdressers

[LottieandLisa]

How much do you tip for a cut and blow dry? Standard cut/ trim, nothing fancy done, not going from very long to very short, no fringe or particular style etc. Hair isn’t thick, curly or difficult to manage

I don't tip! I feel bad for this but the cut and blow dry is expensive enough.

Min 20% of the service

A fiver

I don’t.

I only tip at Christmas. And once recently when the hairdresser went above and beyond and took ages to give teen DD a really cool new cut.

Nothing

I round up to the nearest £5/£10 - so if it's £22, I'd give £25 and if it's £27, I'd give £30. Tricky one if it's dead £20 / £25 though! But normally a couple of £ - like PP said, it's expensive enough, so I'd only give extra if I could afford it to be completely honest!

I only tip at Christmas

Nothing, the price is the price

Do you? Gosh I do nothing near that amount. 😦

Are you a hairdresser? 😆

Nothing if I've paid full price.

A generous tip if it's a model cut or whatever.

I don’t tip. She’s a talented professional and I’m not going to patronise her by basically saying she doesn’t charge enough.

£5 plus £2 for whoever washes it.

About 10%, rounded up. Also give a couple quid to the girl who washes it.

Nothing.
I pay £75 for a cut and blow dry. That's the price, it's plenty.

I've never tipped my hairdresser.

I don’t tip, I just pay what it cost via card. I hope that’s not insulting to her but it would feel weird to pay and then hand over extra money as a tip. My hairdresser is the owner of the business so she’s decided what to charge and hopefully she’s worked out the amount she charges to cover the costs and give herself a decent wage. If not then I’d be happy for her to charge me more.

I tip at Christmas, otherwise I pay the advertised price like I do everywhere else - shops, tradesmen, petrol stations, cinema etc. I can’t remember the last time I ate in a restaurant so tipping there isn’t relevant to me

Nothing at all. Why would she need tipping, she's doing a job the same as everyone else.

Nothing. Why would you? It's a set price for what you're having done. Tipping is a real pain. Unspoken rules, done covertly, how do you know how much to give...I don't bother any more.

Feeling less bad about not tipping now!

It's £80 here and I pay by card.

My stylist always bangs on about how skint she is, how crappy her car is, how she needs a holiday etc. so, I always tip a fiver for a £55 cut & blow dry. Then yesterday I saw her Facebook page for the first time, and it was full of holiday pictures, theatre trips, meals out, shopping expeditions. No more tips from me!

Also why the fuck does someone who washes it get a tip? It's their job. I work in a shop and no one tips us.

I tip about 10 - 15%. Which is quite a lot as my hair costs a lot, even for a cut & blowdry, and colour is 💶💶💶

I do it because it's the norm among people I know; I like my hairdresser & I suppose it also helps ensure she gives me a good service, fits me in etc.
