how much do you spend on a haircut?

for just a cut 60.00
or
120.00 for highlights cut n style..

$0.

Wahl clippers w/ no guard or a razor (which is more of a PITA than you'd think it would be).

$15 thats a wash, cut, and style. This is going to sound mean..but its not meant to. I work in a lower income part of town with children and well I found her through my coworkers. She is awesome and I think she just doesnt know her talent-she could be working elsewhere and makeing alot more! My hair is to my butt too-so its alot to cut.

Wow I must be the only person here who doesn't think you should tip a hair dresser.

Unless they are the salon owner, you should ALWAYS tip your hairdresser. Unless they do a horrible job, and at which point you should say something. But if you like your cut? TIP!!

Why? They already make more than I think should be paid for what they do.

Then go to another salon. Don't insult your hairdresser.

I think it's an insult to me that they expect a tip, which trust me, they sure do.
They are doing a job that they are paid to do. The only time someone, anyone, should get a tip is if they do something above and beyond their job, which chopping off dead hair isn't.

Wow.

They're doing a service for you. When people do a service for you, and you appreciate the job they've done, you tip them. It's like that when people pump your gas, or bring your luggage to your room in a hotel, or bring you food, or mow your lawn. You pay them the base price for "doing the job." You tip them if you think they did a great job.

Basically what I'm saying is, there's a reason that you're the only one who thinks they don't need a tip. And the problem is not with everybody else. I think you need to reassess how you view people in service positions. If they do a barely adequate job, don't tip them, of course. But if you're pleased with the service you receive, the way to express that is with a tip.

I pay $80 total - 65 for the haircut and 15 dollars for the tip.

And, good grief! Tip your hairstylist!!! Mine is also the co-owner of the salon and I tip her.

None. My mom volunteers to cut it every once in a while.

No. When someone does a service for you, you pay them for the service, and I do, whether I liked it or not.
I've been in service positions and I never accepted tips because I felt it was wrong. I was already getting paid to do what I did, getting tipped on top of that for no reason at all felt like I was robbing the customers.

I live in New Zealand and I find the tipping thing absurd!
Why would you tip somebody for doing their job, the "tip" should just be in their wages instead of getting paid a pittance and relying on generosity.

I pay $60 for a hair cut every 6 months. so $50USD

My hair doesn't grow that fast.

$15
$5 tip
