If my hairdresser is giving me a free service, should I tip her?

Question

Recently, my hair stylist gave me highlights that did not come out to my liking, so I asked her to dye over them. She said she would do this free of charge. Also, when I got the highlights, I was dissatisfied the service, because someone else shampooed me and didn't do a good job. Do I have to tip her when she fixes me?

Answer 1

Of course.

Answer 2

1. Not in this case.

2. Going to a hair stylist is a business agreement. You pay them for an expected service. You did not receive what you agreed upon.

3. The hair stylist treated you (the unhappy client) fairly and in a professional way. She understands that a tip is not in order.

4. Her tip was in learning from this mistake.

5. Everyone's hair is different, so you may have to shop around until you find a hair designer that can deliver what you agree upon.

6. Be sure to mention the bad incident, with details, so that she/he knows what to avoid with your hair.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If you showed her a picture or explained what color highlights you wanted and she ended up doing something totally different, then you shouldn't tip her.

A tip is to let someone know what a great job they did. If a waitress in a restaurant was rude to me and got my order wrong, I would not give her a tip. A tip is not something people should expect.

Answer 4

You under no circumstances ''have'' to tip besides the undeniable fact that the gesture is sweet and if a job has been carried out nicely and also you're satisfied then slightly more effective to whoever is amazingly worth it... How a lot relies upon on what replaced into carried out.. for a effortless haircut i could say $4 to $5....

Answer 5

Oh I do not know since that was a redo. Ask a hairdresser on here. I am not sure you have to. If you never tipped her at all and now they are fixed I would tip her, but if it is still wrecked I would tell her this is not working and you are moving on and then not tip and not go back.
I have heard edicate of tipping states that you explain in writing why you are not tipping.

Answer 6

If you did not tip her the first, with the highlights, and after the dye are satisfied, why wouldn't you? Tips- To Insure Proper Service. it sounds to me like she is doing everything she can do to insure that.

Answer 7

No. First of all the service is an automaticly free because she is making a correction to hightlights that she put in incorrectly. The mistake you made was not telling your stylist immediatly when you first saw your results you weren't pleased. In th future make sure you do.

Answer 8

Yes, the hairdresser went to a lot of trouble to help you with your hairstyle and to repair it to your liking.

You should tip (10%) of the cost of what the highlighting should be.
It's a way of thanking her for going out of her way to help you.
She's hoping you will continue to be a good customer and come back again and again.

Answer 9

It depends on your relationship. Mistakes happen and she probably had someone else shampoo you because she worked you in to her schedule and was busy. My gut feeling is that you should not have to tip her if you tipped her the first time but it does sound like she is trying to make it right.

Answer 10

I say if you were dissatisfied with the service which you recieved, you shouldn't feel obligated to tip somone. But if you really want to, maybe give her a smaller tip than you normally would.

Answer 11

Yes, it is proper to give her a tip based upon the value of the service she provided you. This is likened to using a coupon at a restaurant - you would still tip on the total check, not the check-less coupon amount.
