[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, just like you'd pay 10% food tax on a $400 food bill. It's not based on your sticker shock.[/quote] If you tip nothing at a restaurant on a 400 bill, the server gets about $6-9 for your 2-3 hours of her time. If you tip nothing at a hair salon on a 400 bill, the stylist either gets $400 (minus their chair rent which is spread out weekly or monthly) OR they give about 1/2 or even maybe 2/3 to the owner and honestly any place charging 400 for a few hours should ABSOLUTELY be booth rental, anyone good enough to be working there should have enough clients to be self-employed at a chair rental salon, if they aren't then customers are straight suckers for paying this for a stylist who is subpar. I'm not saying don't tip. I am saying pretending all service industry jobs are the same is ridiculous. No one ever says to tip a MD botox injector but that's just as much a service industry/ cosmetic thing as nails or dining out. [/quote]
