I've read all the articles on tipping hairdressers. The consensus seems to be that you tip about 10% (unless it's the owner of the salon). But what I find hard to know is *how* to do it, and I always feel really awkward and embarrassed about it. Do you give it to them in person? Or do you wait till you get to the desk and pay, and then give the receptionist the tip to pass on? What about the junior who washes your hair? I'd feel really uncomfortable handing money over directly - it feels so old fashioned and patronising. But if I wait till I get to the desk then I feel I can't tip the junior because I usually have no idea what her name is.
If there are any UK hairdressers out there I'd really like to know what you find people usually do. And what they say, if they say anything at all.
