female only Hair Salon Tipping..how much?

[JoJo1 0]

I am also a salon owner. Most of my clients tip 15 to 20 percent, some to the penny. They carry those little tip cards and calculate it to the penny. For the gal who got the extensions, those usually do run around 1200.00. If she did them cheaper for someone, they must have some other type of relationship. Either friends or relatives. Half of that amount is the cost of the hair. Yes quality hair is very expensive. So she does not make as much money as you think. If you did not like the quality of the assistants work, you should definitely tell your stylist. Whether you decide to go to her again or not, you should tell her.

I love the tips and I count on them. Between Salon Rent, Advertizing, Utilities, and phone, expenses add up and tips are always nice. However if someone does not tip, it does not bother me because I know it is either how they believe or they just cannot afford it. Have a good Thanksgiving everyone......
