    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.


    How much do you think they should get paid??

    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 just get out the clippers and give myself a burr once in a while for nothing.

    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!

    About $45-$65 depending on whether I just get a cut or more than just a cut. I tip very well on top of that because the hairstylist is someone I've known for many years.

    everyone who said they did their own cut for free did not take into account the opportunity cost of that haircut - the missed earnings due to being overlooked for promotion or being rejected by a trust fund baby girl/guy.....no free haircut in this world, my mama told me.

    LOL you don't live in the same city i do
    1 car good driving record no accidents driving for 35 years give or take - 1500 a year (and I'm low according to all my friends)
    Rent here I have friends living in small one bedroom basement apartments paying $700, but the average 1 bedroom rent if $1500
    Electric and food also more expensive
    so it's all relative but the people cutting have to rent a storefront - in my neighbourhood a samllish storefront suitable for a salon would run from 6-10000 per month - that's a lot of $15 haircuts before you would see any money yourself
