Services you tip?

My mate said yesterday that he generally tips his hairdresser a few quid. :confused:

News to me, I've never considered tipping a hairdresser. £35 at a big name Salon is enough surely! Am I wrong?

I tip waiters and taxi drivers if the service is good, that's pretty much it.

Any other services you can think of which you'd tip?

Ah yes, your tips are rather generous if I remember rightly Biohazard

Only in restaurants and only when paying in cash.

We were at Hotel Du Vin I believe, they didn't have one of those options on the chip and pin machine to give a tip so I left it not having any change and not being particularly impressed with the food considering the prices.

Afterwards, my GF said she was so embarrassed because we didn't leave one. Just spent 100 odd quid on dinner and she's red faced about not leaving a tip, that's right, I carry a tenner for tipping purposes :rolleyes:

I shouldn't be obliged to pay extra if I simply don't have change regardless of how up its own arse the restaurant is.

And, £35 for a haircut? You need a better place!

Been getting my haircut at the same place for 4-5 years now, just habit really. I trust the stylist with my mop
