You may be paying 75$ an hour, but the stylist is not seeing that much money. In an extremely generous salon, they may see 50% of that; more often they receive 35% or 40% of that. $26.25 isn't a ton of money, especially seeing as that's BEFORE taxes. After taxes, that's not a ton of take-home pay. It's polite to recognize their hard work and service with a little bit of extra, tax-free, income.Why do we tip hair dressers? When I go into a salon and am there for 2hrs, my bill is $150 that is $75 /hr.?
i only tip if the do a great job and are polite. if im paying $150 and your rude, the staff is rude and i waited 45 minutes past my appt time, not only am i not tipping, but im not returning.
kind of left field- but are you supposed to tip the hair washer as well? once again- if service is good i do, but feel a bit wanky about it, not sure if its proper
That's why I don't tip. I don't know why everyone feels they should get a tip for doing what they get paid to do. I can understand waitresses and people that go out of there way. But it's becoming ridiculous how everywhere you go people expect a tip.
First, not every hair-dresser charges $150 for 2 hours. You go to a very expensive salon. My feeling is that you go there because they make you feel good about yourself, not just because you need your hair done. So, really, you are tipping them for the good feeling, not for the expertise. If all you wanted to do was to get your hair done, you could get it done for $20 or $30. And even then, if the person made you feel comfortable, made you smile, and generally allowed to enjoy yourself instead of being bored for 2 hours of doing nothing, why not tip him/her?
You are getting complete care for two hours,correct, you cannot
do your own hair, they went to school to learn how to do Hair.
The price is products + expertize+ knowledge.It's one of the hardest Jobs to do.Then, the Stylist must pay her percent to the shop owner.Come on tips are part of their salary....
