how much do you tip for haircuts?

[Pestilence]

They get the tips of the many hairs they slice.

That is all.

 

[Draeger]

I don't either. However usually on my last visit to the barbers prior to Xmas I'll tip a tenner so the girls can get either a box of choccies to share or a bottle of vino. Not much I know but it's the thought that counts.

 

[InKursion]

Tip? At a proper hairplace the prices are fixed... and high enough.

 

[King Damager]

Couple of quid.

Depends on how change works.

If it was £12-14 I'd basically give them 15 and tell them to keep the change.

£0.

They get the pleasure of talking to me, and I value that at around £17.49 for 30 minutes.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Mines usually £12.50, if he's done a good job and not talked to his mates for ages making it take ages then i give him £15.

I think that's a nice gesture, better than tipping for the sake of it.

 

[Infidelus]

I used to occasionally give the hairdresser £10 at Christmas and tell him to keep the change, but as the price kept going up, the tips disappeared.

Now I cut my own hair and save myself £9 every 4 - 6 weeks.

 

[Fenris]

Why the hell would you tip for a haircut?

 

[MooMoo444]

I don't really understand tipping. I pay a company to provide me with a service, why should I also pay the serviceman for doing what he has just been paid to do?

This - you shouldn't have to pay more.

 

[krooton]

My cut is £9, so they get a £1 every time.

 

[Skillmister]

We aren't in America, so nothing.

Please see my sig OP.

 

[kwerk]

I cant beleive you people dont tip. You must have some awful haircuts.

my haircuts are 12 and I tip 3 to make it a nice round 15. Sometimes I tip 5 if I'm in a fanciful mood.

 

[Maccy]

I pay £15 to an individual, that's enough.

Does your hair cut look better after you've paid for it or something?

A lot of people say it's because as lowly service people they don't get paid much, but I still fail to see why I should have to make up their pay check. Do only well-off people that can splash their cash get their haircut, or go for meals? And the worst is when you get someone demand it, as is a tip is their given right. A tip is something you give if someone has gone beyond your expectations, if you cut my hair, you've cut my hair, if you did a bad job I would tip you a penny as a sign of disdain.

 

[LiE]

My wife cuts my hair, so no tip. She's a mobile hairdresser and gets plenty of tips.

 

[eatcustard]

I shave my own hair, so I dont need to, and I would never tip, even if it was done by a hairdresser

 

[Moothead2]

Couple of quid. They usually knock a couple of quid off the normal price of the haircut anyway.

 

[shauncr91]

Nothing.
