Salon Tipping
(Peggy Post head of the Emily Post Institute)
If the owner cuts your hair, you're off the hook, right? Wrong. Turns out most salon owners welcome gratuities. "Not tipping the owner is an old tradition that's dying out," Post says. She recommends 15 to 20 percent of the fee, whether or not the stylist owns the place. When more than one person (stylist, colorist, blower) attends to you, split 15 to 20 percent among them according to how much each contributed to the outcome. A basic shampoo and conditioning rates $1 to $3; a wash involving foil removal and color rinses requires a bit more. Slip 15 to 20 percent each to a masseuse and a manicurist.

Gee owners want to be tipped to? Isn't that like asking a barber if you need a hair cut. Oh wait...

What those women get for their 95 bucks is the opportunity to say "so and so cut my hair" and to get pampered. It's not really the cut that costs. It's the atmosphere and the bragging and feeling smug that they paid for.

You are probably right. However, most likely I would never want to have any kind of relationship with such a woman.

Neither would I.

figures that most people on this thread don't understand that women's haircuts are A LOT more expensive than a men's hair cut, since most of them have never had a fvcking girl in their life.

While it is common for women to have to pay more for a haircut, most women do NOT routinely pay a hundred bucks for a haircut. Maybe you just hang around spoiled, vain princesses?

Oh and by the way, I wouldn't pay $95 for a haircut if it was George muther f'in Bush cutting my hair...

Me either. I figure after he cuts my ear off we should call it even.

That's only if he figures out you wanted him to cut the hair on your HEAD.

The most my hair cost to get done was $40 for my wedding. That included cut / wash / some special conditioner goop / style. Now it's $15 including tip from some dude down the street.

I think 20-30% is normal tip, so I'd say at least $20 for a $100 haircut would be acceptable.

id say around 20.00, 5 for the bj, 5 for the dance, 5 for the haircut and 5 for swallowing. that would be the only way i would pay 95.00 for a haircut.

a) Holy crap, 30%? Maybe I should quit my job and cut hair in Texas.

b) I think the percentage thing is BS anyway. Let's say I go to a restaurant with a friend, he orders lobster, wine, and dessert, whereas I order a burger, a coke, and no dessert. He's supposed to tip twice as much for the same service?

I say flat fee plus small percentage, so as not to screw the pizza guy, but also not bankrupt you at fancy restaurants.
