    $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.

    $0.00 I cut my own. And my husband's. And with a highlighting kit I highlight my hair for only $4 a session. Saves me a lot of money and I get exactly what I want.

    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.

    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.

    I was just thinking about this...if I had my hair cut for $50 every 2 months that is $600 in a year. That is about what I pay in car insurance for two vehicles for a YEAR. It is more than one month of rent. It is 4 months of electric bills. Or 3 months of groceries.

    No wonder I am such a cheapskate LOL gotta overthink everything

    After looking through this thread I am definitely going to stop hassling my wife about the cost of her color and style.

    $17 plus tip for me.

    I spend approximately 1 hour of my time cutting my own hair. Some times a little longer if I need to do some layering.

    I pay about AUD$150 every 6 weeks or so for a wash, multi colour foils, style cut, blow-dry and straighten which is the cheapest I can find that is half decent. I once went to a city salon where one stylist coloured my hair, another one washed/conditioned it and a third one did the cut and blow-dry. Cost a bomb but I did get a free glass of wine :)

    Thankfully we don't tip here in Australia - service people get paid a wage they can live on for the most part although if I get good service in a restaurant or cafe I will chuck my change in the tip jar. I used to do drinks service in an RSL club and we had a trick where you give the punters their change on the tray with their drink and they are too lazy to scoop up the change. Score!
