As a hairstylist, I don't make as much as people think a hairstylist does. I've heard of waitresses bringing home up to $300 a night, where I could bring home anything from 8 bucks to 70. Although I'm sure waitresses have a very demanding job, catering to hungry customers, a stylist has to cater to the person's self image. I had done a color today, I spent nearly three hours on this person and I did not recieve any tip whatsoever. It's as much of an insult as if she were to give me a couple dollars. I couldn't just get her order of what haircolor she wanted and send it back, bring it out to her, ask her how it is, and bring the bill. There is a lot of schooling, a license, and my out-of-pocket costs to stay updated on education and tools. Many people have no idea how much tools cost to make them look good, and yes they ave to be replaced every so often. My scissors, for example, I bought last year for $350.00, and that's not even the expensive pair. So our paychecks help pay the bills, but our tips will also pay them along with the things we need to make our clients look and feel their best.

yDepends where you go. Someplace like Super Cuts or a mall place the usually get paid hourly plus tips. If you go to an actual salon the people are self-employed and tips are not included in the price of a haircut.

They get paid hourly by the salon. The customer decides how much of a tip to give, if any. I generally tip between 15 and 20%, more if they've really done a great job.

It depends on the salon. Some of the lower-end salons (Fantastic Sam's, SuperCuts, Great Clips) pay their stylists an hourly rate. Higher-end salons charge the stylist rent for a booth in the salon, and then the stylist charges you directly. Either way their tip is not included in the price, so you should tip on top of the price that is quoted to you.

As far as I know they get paid an hourly wage and tips. You are not obligated to tip. A tip is a reward for good service. I am a generous tipper when I have been served well, but if not, I do not hesitate to tell them not only are they not getting a tip, but why.

Three of my family members are stylists at a salon. They get 40% of any service provided and keep the tip. Then they have to 'tip out' the shampoo girls.
Places like super cuts or bo rics pay their stylist and hourly wage and they get to keep the tip.

You generally add the tip on and it should be 15-20% if you're happy with the service. My salon includes the tip but that is unusual.

Their tip is not included and really if you want to get down to brass tacs the owner is not suppose to be tipped.

Anybody who takes tips for a living will rip you off any chance they get!

No, it would be best to tip the stylist.
