How much do you tip your hairdresser?

[medsecslave]

How much would you tip a self-employed hairdresser, working from her own home if she charges you �120 for highlights, cut and blow dry (that's for two people, me and my daughter). Thanks.

If you love the results she gives you, then it is a gift from you and your daughter. �10 from each of you would seem reasonable.
I give my hairdresser a tenner, as it will buy a nice bottle of wine for him. He does a fantastic job and I'm glad I found him :-) I just have a wash cut and blow dry btw.....

It costs me �10 for a cut, i give �2 for this, and �45 for a colour, for which i leave �5

I must be tight then, as my hairdresser, who used to work in an upmarket salon, but is now a flight attendant, charges me �8.50, and I usually give her a tenner. I spend a fortune on good hair products, shampoo, conditioner etc, but as long as I get a good cut, I do the rest myself - even highlights. Dont have hours to spend in the hairdressers waiting for them to do it, and would not pay �45 for the privilege either.

I make my haidresser a cup of coffee as a tip,she`s my best friend and hasn`t charged me for over 20 years!How lucky am i!I buy her nice prezzies and flowers though just to show my appreciation,she`s the best :-)

Yeah a good tip for her is to lower her prices! lol
Just for a cut and blow dry, which is �17.50, I give my hairdresser �20. If i have anything else done I usually just round it up adding on a couple of quid. Maybe Im just tight too lol
Also, my daughter has her haircut at the same salon by the same hairdresser, my daughter is only 6 and when she goes in just to get her fringe cut,which they do not charge for, I give ny daughter a couple of quid to give the hairdresser to show her appreciation :)

�120 seems like an awful lot of money for you both to shell out
I pay �25 to have my hair coloured so I usually tip �2-3 and �1 for the girl who washes my hair,Saturday girls need the tips believe me!
