[quote=Anonymous]I used to count tips as exactly as possible and would always make sure to have singles available so I didn't have to ask for change back.

There was a brief period that I didn't realize they raised prices and I think that I may have not been tipping the barber at all.

Then one day I thought about it.  My money isn't as tight as it used to be. And I've been going to the same barber for close to 15 years, and my kids go to now too, and I like the hair cut I get from them (or am just used to it).  I don't go to bars or restaurants often but I generally don't have an issue with giving a bigger tip for good service when I do.  So it didn't make much sense to go cheap on a barber who I've been going to for so long and like, while I may give servers that I only see once more.  Kind of opposite to OP's argument, it's only one or two dollars more.  I'm sure that people waste that two dollars easily without thinking about it on something else.  Maybe skip that coffee that day?

When I looked into it, there was somewhere that said that etiquette during the holidays is to tip the amount of the service.  So I tend to tip that amount during the holidays too (only during one visit though).

And I think it was a local board but  similar thread came up a while back and people were talking about tipping $20 every time on haircuts that cost less than $20.  But these people might've been younger and still in the going out phase.

A lot of it probably depends on your finances, relationship with barber/hair cutter, and how much you actually like the work that they do.[/quote]
