    I cut my hair and my partner's hair, so we don't pay for haircuts or give tips for haircuts. If I were to pay, I'd tip 20%.

    $5. Haircutting is a hard job, standing on your feet, having to really please each customer.

    I tip $5 for a regular trim, and $15 when I get a perm. I really like the gal that styles my hair and have been going to her for years. She owns the shop, but I still tip her. I work in a service industry myself, I know how nice it is to get a decent tip when I've worked hard to please someone.

    One of my friends years ago had worked in the service industry and told me to tip 20%, so I do.

    HOWEVER.... I got my hair cut recently by the owner of this salon. He had cut my hair once a year and a half ago. I took a picture of that cut, and bring the picture whenever I have someone else cut it.

    I walked into his salon recently, and he happened to be free. He is sooooooo good. The cut was $37, I tipped him $13. I think he was a little surprised, since I told him my last cut was 5 months ago, and it was at one of those cheapo places (when I was on vacation).

    He now knows my name. I want to make sure I get him next time!

    HAH.....I've shown this thread to my sweetie and told him from now on he has to cough up a bit more coin....he's tipping like an old geezer.......

    I've usually only tipped $3 for a haircut, but always tip $10-15 for a perm, because it ties up the operator for such a length of time.....a fifteen minute haircut is one thing, but a perm often takes an hour and a half or more, with little time to cut hair in between. After reading this thread, think I'll up my $3 for a haircut a bit more, too.

    $2 tip for a $13 haircut without hair wash in advance or hair dry after.
