If I’m happy with the cut, 20%. If not, 10–15% (unless it’s a REALLY bad cut, in which case, my haircutter wouldn’t expect a tip if I said something about it). But everybody has his/her own formula.

If the haircut was ‘half-assed”, 20% seems to be too much. I agree with Austinlad’s advice. And it goes the other way as well. My hair got cut this week, and the woman did such an excellent job that she received a $5 tip on a $19 bill. Plus, she’ll get my return business.

Well I shave my head with clippers so doesn’t really apply to me. Although one tip I give myself is, don’t let the wife do it! She used to at one time & well, let’s just say I ended up looking like a victim of Chernobyl :¬( Steady hands baby….steady hands.

@ucme That’s a shame. I’ve trimmed my SO’s hair, and a kiss was a wonderful tip.

@Pied_Pfeffer See I think it’s because I make her laugh, can’t help myself. Even when faced with the threat of losing an eyebrow or two.
@lucillelucillelucille Oh my hands wander further south when she’s “toying with my fringe” XD

@perg Apparently some salons offer a waxing service for men called The Triple Crown. It covers backs, cracks, and sacks.

Sounds fair….For a haircut I tip at least $5.00 or 25%. A triple crown would be at least a $20 tip!

I tip ten dollars on a thirty dollar cut.

$6 for an $18 haircut

@Pied_Pfeffer thank you for the brain bleed

I shave my head and I can’t even remember how much I paid for a haircut. It cost me that much so I tipped $5 which was more than 20%. You being a woman means you have to pay more and I think 20% is enough.

@lucillelucillelucille I will have to remember that in a few months….in the meantime could you give me back my wig I need it to cover up this awful haircut?? ;)
