      • T_Man says:

        $5, unless he/she is the owner…and then they do not get a tip.

      • dollyvg2002 says:

        if its a worker 10 per cent is good if its the owner nothing…..

      • OOO! I know! I know! says:

        $5 (20%) if I really like it

      • Suze says:

        Is it a good haircut or a lousy one? $5-$10.

      • Pumpkin says:

        Not much. I have never tipped a hair dresser ever before. They’re making $25 already, why do they need anymore?

      • ♥Popotitozz♥ says:

        5 bucks, round it up to 30

      • susie p says:

        i wuold say $5.00 bucks they did a thirty dollars hair cut any way.

      • DALM9/7/1981 says:

        I always give $5

      • darcilynn83 says:

        I tip $5 but we don’t have shampoo techs.

      • jeffreed_661 says:

        10% is the normal tip rate but more if you are satisfied with the job..

      • rob e says:

        Depends on how good the cut is, and how courteous and friendly the hair stylist was. I generally tip 5-7 for a good cut and 0-2 for bad service.

      • darkshadows9 says:

        I’ve heard from other people that its usually around 15%, so about $3 - $4 should be sufficient.

      • Marie says:

        Did she also wash your hair?

        I would give her $5.00. I tip 20% (which would be @ $4.00), I just round it up.

        My stylist charges $30.00 for a wash and cut. I give her $6.00. She is a single mom raising 3 kids. I can afford to be “generous” most times. She does a very good job!

      • Isa says:

        It totally depends who does it and how well they do it.
        But for $25 you can tip $3 or $4, that’s 15 - 20%.

      • Riley says:

        20% of the total price, so for a $25 hair cut you would tip $5.

      • Veronica M says:

        I’ve been in the restaurant & bar service industry I would tip 20% ($5.) if they did a good job if not nothing. For a salon. Now if it is a restaurant I tip 20 to 35 % if it is good serivce $2. or $3. for poor serivce [only because alot of places like Denny's IHOP, Waffle House & a few others only get paid $2.13 per hr and they get taxed on their sales not the amount they make in tips, which sucks some times] and nothing for horrible service I mean realy realy horible serivce. Were you would have to talk to a manager or call the company. at a bar I tip $5 for a mixed drink and $2 for a bottle drink. I know this is more than what you asked for but I thought I would add my 2 cents in. Oh buy the way some places tax the servers on thier togo sales to no mater if they get a tip on it. Which you could have like you could have $800 in sales which is $80 you are tasxed on but only make $40. Now that really sucks. been there a couple of timesbecause of huge stupid to go orders and people that have money and don’t tip. ok sorry so long been a bad couple of weeks ya’ll have a great day

      • Milly says:

        10 bucks if it is good, if not den non. I do mine myself, so if i dont like it, it is on me.

      • wildnights says:

        20% is $5.
        10% is 2.50.

        It really depends if you really like it or you just like it. If the stylist did exactly what you wanted, tip 20%. If they did what they wanted without listening to you, tip 10% or less.

        Most people however, do tip 20% regardless. I personally, only tip well if I really like it and she listened to me as to what I wanted done. Also, if she talks to me and is focused on me, not talking to another employee or constantly stopping to answer the phone or to help someone at the counter. That’s not very personable.

      • msshy says:

        I don’t mind giving more…..if…..he/she did a great job……if not……well, sorry!

      • Kelly S says:

        $5, which is 20%. You tip between 10-20% like at a restaurant. It’s a little less sometimes, because waiters make less hourly and don’t get a cut of the sales.

      • babyjade917 says:

        I usually tip $5, sometimes $10 if they do a fantastic job
