[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]

Well, maybe all professions should stop depending on tips.  They should charge what they think they deserve.  It's pretty well known that Americans are sick of tip culture.  Every week there is at least one thread just on DCUM "Should I tip and how much?" for various services, from poor service at restaurants to movers.  We need to move away from tipping altogether.  My favorite stylist going out of business is how the free market works.  I am only one person, my $20 tip that she receives every three months isn't determining whether she's in the correct industry or has the best business plan.[/quote]
