'Question For The Ladies..'

I've just returned from a trip to the hairdresser where I had my daughter's hair braided.

Now in "men's world", I always tip my barber when I get a haircut so I must ask...

"Is it customary to tip the hairdresser :ques:"
 
Absolutely!! The tip should be anywhere's between 15% and 18%. Whenever I go to the salon to have my hair done, it costs around $160 for cut & color, so I usually tip $25.

Now what I want to know is....did you tip her?
 
I pay $14 for a haircut and a $3 tip. For the amount of hair they have to cut, it is a very good tip.
 
I have electric clippers, and buzz off what hair I have left on my head about every 4-6 weeks. Maybe I should start tipping myself.

I cringe every time my wife goes to get her hair done. Not only does the visit to the salon cost me about $160, but most of the time she buys several bottles of shampoo/moisturizer, and THOSE cost me an additional 50-60 bucks.......grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

My wife tips significantly more to her hairdresser then I tip to my barber, but percentage-wise it might be about the same. 20-25%, I think. It's hard to find a good barber these days. Developing into a lost art?

Uh...
You mean da' tip isn't included in the $160 bucks? :isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy:
 
Panther,

I know the question is for the ladies, but the tip for a braid should be more towards the 20% side of the scale because it's kind of labor intensive. Yeah I know, that could mean a $20 tip.

Glad I got boys who LUVV high and tights. "Blood on the side, Skin on top"

LOL! Umm no, the tip is not included in the $160. The $160 is just for having my hair cut, colored and styled.
And that's every 6-8 weeks :jump:

Hmm. Ehh.. That braided hair better have a free gold hair clip or tie at the end for that much.

I kidd around with you. I just don't under stand the hair cut, colored and styled. That I'll never see if you go and get it done. An all that make up.

You all wake up with out make up and hair a mess and we all don't go running. (I hope he don't.):d This young pup just don't get it. I'd find better things to spend $160 bucks every 6-8 weeks.

Not on alcohol, Can't stand the stuff.:barf:
 
I'm another one that cuts his own hair. When I worked I would get it styled and that was around $35 plus a $5 tip.
Now that I'm living on SS I can't afford to get it cut.
 
i've never tipped anyone, why should i pay the person what there allready being paid to do :kilroy:
