General rule of thumb is ten perecent of total cost, but if you are really pleased with the result theres no harm in tipping more.

10% is a reasonable ball park figure, but tipping depends totally on how good the result is. If you don't like it, don't tip. If you do, tip a bit more. Now you mention it Lady F, I can't remember if I ever tipped the hairdresser. Such a long time ago you see, I'm only 32 but Haven't visited a hairdresser in about 9 years (Baldy).

I think it depends on what you've had done to your hair and how well the hairdresser did it. If I have a normal cut and blow dry, I'll generally tip about £3, if she does a particulary good job I'll tip about £5. Once, when I was having purple tips put in my hair, the hairdresser spent about 3 hours doing it, and I was the last one in the salon after closing time. I gave her £10 then. Generally I avoid tipping, though I will do it for shames sake in restaurants or at a salon. I've always been of the opinion that they're getting wages, and I don't see why I should have to pay them twice. I don't buy the argument 'they don't get paid much', it isn't up to me to make up their wages. I prefer to give the money I would have tipped to charity. I'm sure my local hospice could use the money much more than my hairdresser.

I always tip $10.00. That insures you get in quick next time and that they will do a great job evertime.

I don't go to a hair dresser, but whenever I go to a barber shop I generally tip 10-20%. The amount of tip always depended on how good of a job the barber did. I usually do the same for waiters/waitresses.

I am a hairdresser, haircuts are $12.00 and most people tip anywhere from $2.00 to $5.00. With perms and colors it is usually $5.00 to $20.00. I feel that tips show appreciation and yes, bigger does get you more preferential treatment. If your hairdresser has done an excellent job or spent a lot of time on you or stayed later/squeezed you in, you should show that you appreciate it.

the rule of thumb is a) nothing but remember they have sharp objects b) for a regular haircut $3-5 c) for a shampoo and haircut $5-7 d) for special girly stuff; color, tinting and great gossip $10-15

It depends on what you are having done. I tip mine exceptionally well because it takes her forever to color and highlight my hair and she is really good. According to CNN Money: 15-20% and a $2 tip for the shampoo person. http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/tipping/

My hair guy is wonderful to me, sweet and caring and makes me feel totally pampered. I've been with him for years and he is absolutely the best at what he does for myself and my oldest daughter. I believe he under charges me for the amount of work that he does, so I tip him $20 each time.

I have always wondered if I was tipping enough, I like the 10% rule. Thanks! I recently had an appointment for lazer hair removal, I asked the receptionist how much I should tip my esthetician and she told me not to tip her at all, I didn't. Now I feel bad and wonder how things will go at my next appointment.....

I had a perm but it didn't take. So now the stylist is going to redo the perm. It was $100 perm, I tiped the stylist $15 the first time and the shampoo lady $5. What should I tip for a redo? Thanks, Julie

I don't understand why we should tip at all. They charge you top $$$$ and want tipped on top of that to ensure a good job the next time? Do you tip nurses or other health professionals? Nurses Aids don't make much and no one tips them. If the job you do depends on the tip them you need to find another job
