How Much Do You Tip Haircut


I usually give 5. The lady infront of me had three boys and paid the total but no tip.

$10 more if she gently brushes the rack against my shoulders.

Re: How Much Do You Tip Haircut


I am only willing to cover their "hard costs"

Couple bucks. $2.00-$3.00 depending on what I have in my pocket at the time. I part time at a pizza shop 1-2 nights a week and really.. there are alot of people who don't tip after a drive to their house.. it makes me feel as though standing at a chair and doing your job doesn't constitute me tipping more than a couple bucks, I get #3 on top zero on sides high and tight. I am in and out in less than 10 min..
