(1) Hair tipping research shows that one should tip anywhere from 10 to 25%. Low end hair tipping is 10% and high end tipping is 25%

(2) Most individuals typically stay in a range of tipping 20% of their total bill in and around larger cities

(3) Percentages were much greater even though the cost of services cost more

(4) Stylists in small town salons, however usually only see about a 15% from clients when we look at tipping.

(5) Most “walk-in” salons with less loyal clientele may not even get 10% (they see much less, if any)

(6) If you’re still confused about what to tip, stick with 20%... you can’t go wrong.

Who To Tip

(1) Tip the shampooer $2 to $5 based on the amount of work that she

has to do.

(2) The assistant (if applicable)  

(3) The Owner (yes, you tip the owner, no she doesn’t get 100% of the profit .. after bills the owner may only see between 10 – 40% profit. The owner is also working hard for the tip.

Increase Tip If:

(1) You're late...

(2) You brought toddlers that need more of your care and you have to get out of the chair to attend to them

(3) The salon squeezes you in at the last moment

(4) Your hairstyle, service, shampoo or anything related includes a shoulder massage

(5) Your stylist goes above and beyond what is required for you

(6) You cancelled at the last minute and you weren’t sick and it wasn’t an emergency
