[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't like it either, because it is no longer something you give for good service-it's just expected and standard. I particularly hate the expectation that you tip the stylist, shampoo person, blow dry person, etc. [/quote]

Pretty much this. They set the price for a service and the customer pays it. If the service cost $220, why are we giving another 10 - 20%? I understand it if I was late and they were still able to accommodate me, they squeezed me in, or if something additional was given and not charged to me, but do we tip mechanics, nurses, co-workers accountants, teachers, janitors, receptionists, the librarian, the dry cleaner, sales people, like the person who sold me my mattress or my car or rang up my groceries? I've worked retail and in restaurants, etc. and tips are great, but we've become conditioned to supplement some professions/services and not others where the pay, services rendered, time and effort are just as valuable and not necessarily well-compensated.

+1.  They simply need to increase the cost of a haircut, color etc by 20 percent.  [/quote]
