tipping the hairdresser |

I cut my own hair at home. I have colored it successfully for |
|
many years, too, but this week tried to take a shortcut and |
|
failed miserably. |
|
I have an appointment Monday with someone to color my hair - no |
|
idea how much to tip her, or how to tip her. Do i hand her the |
|
tip? Leave it at the desk? 20%? 25%? Cash? written in on the |
|
bill? |

I tip 20% and add to the credit card. |

In my area (mid-Atlantic) 20% is appropriate for the |
|
stylist/colorist. I would check with the salon ahead of time |
|
however. The salon I use will not add the tip to the credit |
|
card charge, so I tip with cash. See if the shampooist has a |
|
tip jar by her/his station. I've seen dollar bills (again, in |
|
my area I think $2 is standard but edging towards $5) and fives |
|
in the glass tip jar. I leave my stylist's tip at his station. |

According to my DD#2 (Salon owner) -- At least 20%, given |
|
directly to the stylist. Cash is always the preferred method for |
|
tipping, even at restaurants. |

It turns out tipping on the credit card is not allowed - so, |
|
cash in an envelope? |
|
I would have forgotten about the shampoo! Last time I was in a |
|
salon and got a shampoo, I think the stylist did it herself. |

Whenever I have done a cash tip, I have just handed it to the |
|
individual without an envelope. I'm not sure that it's |
|
necessary, although maybe others feel differently. |

|
For the stylist, I tuck a folded bill between two things on his |
|
station but keep it visible. No envelope. The shampooist has a |
|
tip jar. |
