How much do you tip your hairdresser?

20% + round up to the nearest 10s number.

I never understood this, they have tons of overhead with paying rent, salaries, etc.

But they set the rates.

About 50%. It is not a weekly thing and the extra tip helps out when I need to be squeezed into schedule before a trip. If you find someone good, you want to make sure that they are happy.

Prices should include the cost of paying employees a decent wage. I no longer care to subsidize the exploitative business model. They are professionals and charge a professional fee. That is enough.

Then you should ask your hairstylist to increase her fee just for you.

I’m sure her hairstylist does.

That would be kind because if it were me I’d mess her hair up haha

Same. The salon is not cheap but chemo has destroyed my hair and I get a keratin treatment, highlights, haircut for about $800, so 1,200 with tip. My hair also doesn’t grow at all normal rate so it’s only about 3x a year. My 13 year olds haircut and blow dry was $178 randomly. It gets crowded so a lot of people find them worth it.
