After I pay for the haircut I walk back to the stylist and give a tip directly to him or her and thank them, if my hair was shampooed I also tip the junior who did that. Normally 15-20% for the stylist and 2 or 3 dollars for the junior.

I think a tip should be a nice way to show true appreciation. So I am a very generous tipper, but only it the hairdresser really took great care of me. Then I may tip 50 or 100 bucks. Otherwise I leave nothing. A reward is a reward. Besides, America should start paying fair salaries so those people wouldn't really need tips. A tip is humiliating, unless it is a reward for a great job.

For basic service, about 15%. For outstanding service, 20-30%, especially if I'm a regular patron.
At a salon, I tip the person according to his/her service level. If the place is upscale, I put the money in an envelope with the person's name on it, and it's kept at the front desk. If it's a more casual place, I hand the cash directly. Sometimes I just add it to the credit card. It depends on the place and regional custom too.

I had no idea you were supposed to tip a haircutter. I figured that was why they charge $15 a cut!
If I was going to tip someone who sees you doing the tipping (unlike a server at a resteraunt), I would just say something like "You did a very nice job, here's a little something extra to show my appreciation!" The key is to make the money transfer as smooth as possible to avoid embarassment. Never, and I mean NEVER ask them how much they deserve!

It depends. Some people tip first, this way they try to "bribe" good service. Others wait to see what the service will be then decide to reward based upon the quality of the service. I prefer the latter, I'd hate to tip first then get lousy service. I usually over pay and tell them to keep the change, (at least 10-15%, to many waitress in my family to be cheap).

Yes, you can just hand your stylist or manicurist your tip but usually salons have tip envelopes. You also need to tip the person who shampooed you. At a restaurant, you either leave your tip on the table or include it in your credit card payment. For delivery people, you can offer cash or add it into your credit card payment.

If I'm paying the tip with cash I just give it to the person. If I'm using my card, I write in the tip on the receipt.

Depends what kind of Hair Salon it is. If the Person who owns the Salon is taking care of your hair, you could just write more on the Check, if the Hair-Stylist is working in a Salon I always had her/him a Tip (cash).
