Prices should include the cost of paying employees a decent wage. I no longer care to subsidize the exploitative business model. They are professionals and charge a professional fee. That is enough.

Then you should ask your hairstylist to increase her fee just for you.

I’m sure her hairstylist does.

That would be kind because if it were me I’d mess her hair up haha

About 50%. It is not a weekly thing and the extra tip helps out when I need to be squeezed into schedule before a trip. If you find someone good, you want to make sure that they are happy.

I never understood this, they have tons of overhead with paying rent, salaries, etc.

But they set the rates.

20% + round up to the nearest 10s number.

You thought wrong.

Nope 100% correct.

Sounds like this someone who is independent and rents a booth.

I think salon owners who actually do hair is becoming a rarity.

I tip 20 to 25 percent. When prices go up I go less frequently or tweak my service. My stylist is in demand so she’s been happy to help me get lower maintenance highlights. We also scaled back how many foils she does. It’s a cheaper service on her menu of services.

30% is insane.

I'm sorry you must have bad hair.

DP. You sound cheap and like you save money on other people’s backs.

It’s because the owner gets all the profits from the business, whereas non-owners are paid either a salary or per customer.

Nothing if it's the owner of the salon.
For employees, it's dependent on the work done.

20%. I tell them not to blow dry and it knocks the price down (but obviously my hair doesn’t look as good!)
I go every 5 weeks to cover roots and have to keep costs down somehow.
