[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anger about paying a talented worker for their services from a bunch of people who bill or who have spouse's who bill $300+ an hour is impressive. [/quote]

Except those billing $300 plus per hr went to 10 yrs of medical training or 4 yrs of law school plus internships at the cost of several hundred thousand dollars in education to be able to bill as such.  That is not a comparable skill and investment to cosmetology school and cutting/coloring hair.  There time is certainly worth money and salons do charge a lot for services, but sorry, I'm not "tipping" an extra $60 for 2 hrs of work which I [i]already[/i] am paying for.  [/quote]

[b]You are just cheap.  I'm a lawyer and I don't feel like I deserve to tell other professions what they should or should not charge, not begrudge them a customary tip because they didn't go to extensive, expensive schooling[/b].  They aren't better than me.[/quote]

** SORRY meant to say [b]I am not better than them[/b].[/quote]

This. Seriously. People are also assuming that they are busy 40+ hours a week. They may have double booked clients in weekends but except during the holiday season, they seem pretty open on weekdays. If you value someone repeatedly doing a nice hair style, you should tip them according to custom. [/quote]

Well, you are cheap.  And you are spending above your means if you complain about a 20% tip, so find a less expensive service and stop complaining.
Not the customers job to provide a full time income for a part time job. They should set their rates accordingly and stop expecting $80 tips under the table. I go to an expensive salon and I tip but I don’t like it so I don’t go as often as I’d like to. Paying $30 to NOT leave with a wet head after spending $300 on cut and color feels especially great. And for this, I get called “cheap” . Fun![/quote][/quote]
