| What do these people get hourly anyway? If purpose is to help with their low wages? It takes them 3 hours (some of that time I just sit waiting) to do my perm that costs $250. Tip $50. Isn't $300 for 3 hours not bad even if you exclude cost of materials? |

| J tip 20% but round up- so if it's $17 I tip $20. |

| I'd give $40 on that situation. |

| I tip 30%. It's an $80 cut and I had been tipping $20, until someone pointed out that the price seemed to be set up to suggest a $20 tip. I wanted my stylist to know that I really value her; I've figured that the extra $5 would send that message. |

| My cut is $55 and I always tip 12 or 15, plus 3-5 for shampoo. I've doe 15 the last few times. I really like her and usually get 3-4 haircuts a year. I'd rather tip well. It's not a lot of money inthe end. I used the work in the service industry and know how much a good tip makes your day |

| 30%. I have THICK hair. She has to spend more time to cut my hair. And she makes me look fabulous each time she cuts my hair. |

| I thought the norm was 20%. That's what I do (sometimes more), but I don't get color or anything. I also give $5 to the person who washes my hair. I didn't think to do that part until I became a real grown up around 30. |

| Color and cut is 120. I tip $20. We are friends. I know she undercharges me. She would rather I not tip. We usually go to dinner/drinks and I insist on picking the tab up. |

I think 20% is fair, but I don't go over $50.00 even if it means less than 20%. And that is for both of them (hair stylist and assistant) - I usually give $40.00 to the stylist and $10.00 to the assistant in separate envelopes.
Anything over $50.00 feels more like a generous gift rather than a tip. |

| 20%. My cut is usually around $90, so I round up to about a $20 tip. |

20% if the standard tip in DC for hair or a restaurant.
But there are minimum tip guidelines: 1) never tip anyone less than $5. not even a taxi or pizza. singles are insulting. cant even buy a soda. 2) for hair, minimum tip of $20 unless the salon is really bo-bo like hair cuttery. |
