dockeryfan Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 OK. I pay $35 for a haircut. I know it's a bit much for a men's haircut, but there it is. So I'm curious what would be the appropriate tip on a $35 men's haircut, when I get one every 3 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You're in territory I don't know about. I usually pay about 15 bucks and tip about 5. You getting your hair done like CP or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckus Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I pay about the same and tip $5. I get my hair cut probably closer to ever 6-8 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbleedBnG83 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Depends how long they take. I usually tip $5. My haircut doesn't take more than 20 min tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Damn, $35???? I pay $12 and I am upset about it! I tip $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunny Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I usually just go with 15% for trims and such. 20% if I absolutely love the cut. I usually pay between $25-$50.. depending if I get it styled.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhouse Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I pay $12 and tip $3 for my haircut. I would tip 15-20% for a $35 haircut....so give or take $6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Man, you people overtip, at least some of the men do. My haircuts cost $13 for a buzz on the sides and some actual cutting. Plus the sideburn shave which doesn't actually accomplish anything. It takes no more than 15 minutes, and I give them $15. But hey, $2 on a $13 haircut is over 15%. I can't believe some of you give damn near 40% tips for cutting hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I can't believe some of you give damn near 40% tips for cutting hair. I always go to the same place and get the same person. Never make me wait. Even when the place is busy. Couple extra bucks every 6 to 8 weeks is worth not having to wait for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a bit much for a men's haircut, but there it is.So I'm curious what would be the appropriate tip on a $35 men's haircut, when I get one every 3 weeks or so. round that up to 2 crisp $20 bills. I have no idea how much to tip for a hair cut but that is what I do. cut is $15- I give them a $20, cut is $18 I give them a $20. That doesn't mean the $18 barber does a worse job than the $15 barber, that's just how I tip barbers and delivery guys, round up to whatever you can pay without breaking bills and give it to them.

I can't believe some of you give damn near 40% tips for cutting hair. You are too focused on %. Sure it maybe 40%, but a $1 tip on a $1 service is 100%, is that a ton coming out of your pocket? This is their lively hood. You are a cheap skate to be honest. Someone takes the time to groom your hair and only charges you $13 too make your hair, one of the first things people notice about you, look nice and you say thanks, here is $2. Show a little more graitude why don't you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan133 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 $14 for the cut, $2 tip. every time. at school I get a weekly cut for free though, so I could be behind on the tip scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 18-20% on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm assuming some people here have never been in the service industry... I think some of us are just smarter with our money. Haircutting isn't waitressing, they get at least minimum wage if not more. And I ran the calculations, I'm over 15%. My haircuts aren't particularly difficult as is. Just remember, those that you call a cheapskate, probably think you're a sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilsu Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I pay $15 + $5... Sometimes my girlfriend throws in another $5 if she really likes the haircut... But I have to ask, how much do YOU tip on your $35 haircut? I think I would probably tip $10 but I don't know... Never had a haircut that expensive.

AsburySkinsFan Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 $10 per cut @ local salon (never trust a bald barber they don't respect your hair) I tip $2, it normally only takes 15 or 20 minutes to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a haircut that expensive. If my haircuts cost $35, I'd slap myself. But if they did, I'd probably give them $5. I think someone earlier touched on the whole thing about ease of not breaking large bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a haircut that expensive. Well... I tip the stylist (Jesus I feel a little gay saying that) 5 bucks and the chick that washes my hair 2 bucks. I've been doing this for a long time. I'm wondering if I'm under tipping the stylist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
