subject: How To Tip Your Hairdresser [print this page] Our hair is the main thing that enhances our overall look. No wonder it is called the crowning glory. This is why the hair is referred to as the crowning glory. Thanks to the skillful and artistic hands of a Brisbane hairdresser, the hair suddenly becomes a work of art. This is why we give tips to her services. We exude gratitude for making us feel and look great.
There are a number of ways to give tips to a Sydney hairdresser. Here are some of them.
1. Give your hairdresser 15 per cent tip if you are happy and satisfied about the results. A tip is a great way to express your thanks and appreciation for whatever service you have received, be it a cut, color, a perm, or a hairdo for a special event. Also, a generous tip could motivate your hairdresser to guide you in styling your hair while you are at home, or even offer you with a trim free of charge.
2. If the one shampooing your hair is different from the one styling your hair, it would be a good idea to give her a tip also, particularly when she offers you a relaxing scalp and neck massage. If you are visiting a high-end salon, you may put your tip in an envelope stacked at the font desk. Therefore, it is expected that you give your tip in one of those. Otherwise, it is completely fine to hand your cash tip of 3 to 5 dollars to the one who shampoos your hair before you leave the salon.
3. You could also ask your hairdresser how she would like to receive a tip. Most hairdressers would choose cash over credit card tip because most salons would charge them for processing the credit card tip.
4. When deciding how much to give your hairdresser as a tip, take into account the time she spent in doing your hair. If you make your hair done once every quarter and she spends 3 to 4 hours washing, coloring, cutting, and styling your hair, think about giving 20-25 per cent instead of 15. Surely, you could afford to be more generous if you do not go to your hairdresser very often.
5. Do not fret if you do not have cash or if giving a tip is out of your budget at the moment. Most hairdressers would not write a client off if they are not given a time always. However, it surely would not hurt to stay in their good graces. You can tell her nicely that you would catch her next time, that you truly love your hair and that you appreciate the time and skills she has rendered.
