How much do you tip your barber / haircutter?

CrownR426 · 12-20-2009, 09:03 AM

Went to my barbershop on friday.
Cut was 18 and tip was 5.

I'm bumping this thread with a story of my haircut today:

Her: How would you like it?
Me: 1 on the side, fade into a 5 on the top (referring to the razor guards they use)
Her: 5 on the top? Do you really want that?
Me: Nope, I like ordering stuff I don't really want, like anchovies on my pizza

LOL, I do a 1A on the sides, top she cuts by hand. Tip is 20%. Is that enough? Normal?

Depends. 20% of what?

I'd say it should be $5 or 20%, whichever is higher. And obviously you tip more around the holidays.

$35 for a cut? I don't even pay that at the upscale barber. What kind of place you getting your hair cut?

Not bad. My cuts are $40 and I tip $20, just because I'm friends with the stylist now... been going there for over a year.

IMO if you go to a regular barber, the $5 or 20% rule should be just fine. If you go to a higher end salon or something, tips are going to be commensurate with stylist experience and really whether or not you actually like them.

What.. you're mad she's trying to save you?

I couldn't imagine paying more than $10 for a haircut. I've been using clippers on my head since I was 16 because I hate the feel of hair, but damn, some of you are paying almost $40 for a haircut?

I remember the first time my wife (then-girlfriend) got her hair done. I told her I'd pay for it and gave her a $20 bill. She told me that would just about cover the tip...

Crazy!

(I just realized I commented on this thread back in December 09...I said the exact same thing!)
