I've often wondered what to leave also,I asked the receptionist and he didn't really know.I know that waitresses expect 15% of the total I also know that they are paid 2.01 an hour.How do you determen how much to tip, when someone is paid a good salery or10.00 or more an hour? To me I think 15% is to much for high paying positions.But I don't know how tipping even came about for everyone.(I do understand why waitresses get tipped) I kinda think that tipping has gotton out of control , everbody these days are expecting a tip. When I get my hair cut I didn't know you have to tip hair dresser,shampooer and blowdyer that gets very exspensive,Like I said I think tipping has gotten out of hand. You know that is there job they get paid about the same If not more than retail.I have never gotten a tip because of my knowledge and good service.I have spent hours with some customers.I also undrestand that is my job.

Yeah, 15% is good. If you love what they've done, leave more. If it's not your regular hair stylist and you hate it, leave less or none. Always keep it at 15% though for your regular stylist.

I give $5 for a hair cut.
I have dated lots of cosmo's and they are under tipped. Add more for the more services they give.
For example if you get a cut and color, or a wash, cut, and prem, she could be spending two to two and a half hours with you. Then if you are cheap and give only five bucks it is a loss, since she could have done four or five cuts in that time all with tips.
Most cosmo's in public chain stores make a low wage per hour and the tips are helpfull to them.

If your hair stylist does a super job then I'd say 20%.

My hair cut ranges from 15-$17.00. I always give her a 20 and say keep the change. Some people dont tip at all so every little bit is appreciated. But I live in Newport, Vermont and sadly people are stingy

I never know either how much to tip....
10-15 % I think.. and if the person owns the salon then on the lower side.

forget the percent. you take the first number of the cost of the hair cut...lets say the haircut is $35. you take the first number (3) double it and round up. 3 doubled would be 6 so give her 10 dollars. trust me...you do this and she will never mess your hair up.
