Tipping gents hairdressers

My father taught me to give a 10% tip to my hairdresser, and I still do many years later.

Does everyone else, or am I the biggest mug in town?

can anyone recommend a hair colouring kit?

ummmm

I tip as well. If it's a good cut that is....

snags

I'll only tip if I get a 'muff nudge' (the light brushing of my favourite female hairdresser's crotch against my elbow while she leans forward to cut my hair) :-)

Is this only for gentlemen's hairdressers?

I tip my stylist.

Hairdressers get taxed on tips ... even if they don't receive any !!!!!

HMRC assumes that hairdressers receive a percentage of their income as gratuities and, if none are declared, HMRC will impute a figure, and raise a charge to tax.

It's then up to the hairdresser to PROVE that they didn't get tips. And, as we know, proving a negative is pretty well impossible.

Well ... nobody said that tax was fair !

I tip my Hairdresser as well although I don't get a nudge like snags, instead I get a Titty Bump.

I sit there trying hard to keep my hands still under the cover, in case I get that embarrasing accusation from her..

Surely a "titty bump" is what you give to guys in Bars, when you are pretending to try to squeeze past to get served !

snags

jj... give me a 'muff nudge' and you can gladly go straight to the bar.

(get me a drink and a bag of nuts whilst you're there)...

redman41

I wish I drank in the same Bar as you JJ ! I would be squeezing past you all night ! lol

mccfluff

ahhh i hate it when guys stand in the hatch and won't move so you have to squeeze by them

i tip my hairdresser,

joggerjayne

redman ... if you drank in the same bars as me, you'd probably be gay, and not really interested in having any sort of "bump" from me !

snags ... salted, dry roast or spicy?

NB. We don't drink in gay bars because we are "that way" ... but because ...

1. Some of them are really jolly.

2. If you avoid gay bars in Brighton, you really narrow down your options !

The only thing that associates me with Brighton is that my Mother was born there.
My Grandmother was born in Switzerland where you go bonking on the Piste JJ ! ;-)
