[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree on this. Hairstylists pay relies on tips. It’s one of the few professions, IMO, that you should tip (another being a restaurant server). [b]You don’t think your stylist is feeling a pinch from our current economy too?[/b][/quote]

Well her choice is either getting business from OP or not.  Would she rather get $100 or $0?  If she NEEDS $120, then she should make that her price.  She gets all of the money, she's not an employee or independent contractor but rather a sole proprietor.  [/quote]

You (and OP) know that this profession depends on tips. That’s why the question even came up. If you decide not to get your hair done, your favorite stylist goes out of business.

Also, maybe OP can clear up her stylist being the owner? You can be an independent stylist and rent out a chair in a salon without being the owner. It’s not quite the same as being the owner. [/quote]

Learn how to read. OP literally says her hairstylist is independent and rents out a closet-sized space. Learn how the economy works. Independent owners set their own prices. They can charge what they want. No need to tip someone who sets their own prices. I will die on this hill.

I do tip my hairstylist who works for a salon very well because she gets paid a salary. There is a difference. You need to go back to school if you cannot understand this.[/quote]

I’m laughing. Yeah, technically they are an independent business. However, they don’t own a large business where they’re making money by renting out chairs to other people. That’s where of the mindset of you don’t pay. The owner came from that they were getting tipped out or paid rent on the entire salon. Someone renting one chair is not receiving that.

It’s OK if you don’t want to tip but the mental gymnastics around this are ridiculous. I can’t even believe how many posts were. People are wanting a less expensive service. So if you don’t want to pay tips and you don’t want stylists that charge a fair wage how does this work? [/quote]
