It's best to ask around for the best stylest, and if you like them to continue to request them. I've got some great cuts by girls who are about to graduate from these schools. They also do nails and things super cheap.Andrew and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852345222867726470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057509926604303961.post-61210923085908799142011-02-22T08:23:47.476-07:002011-02-22T08:23:47.476-07:00Helen, It is expensive, but if you look around for...Helen, It is expensive, but if you look around for coupons or deals you'll be amazed at all that's out there. Some salons even have promotions, like punch cards they mark with every hair cut you get and then on like the 5th cut you get a hair cut for free.) i also know of people who only go to the expensive, nicer salons to get a different look and then go to a much cheaper one ($15 cut) to maintain it. You could also find people who are stylist that work from home (ask around in your ward) and they typically are much cheaper, sometimes they will even come to you. It doesn't hurt to ask or look online for deals as well as there is a lot out there. My problem is that I get frustrated with my hair and take sissors to it before I see a stylest.

She said you should tip 15-18% as standard practice, more if you feel the person deserves it, and less if the service was poor. She gets peanuts in base salary at the restaurant so she really relies on her tips. She said she usually tips 20% as she knows they need it. I have to say I'm years out of practice and Ben says he's not doing it, so we may be rather stingy when push comes to shove. But then again he cuts his own hair and we seldom frequent restaurants with servers that aren't of a fast-food variety.KMitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332104406015733620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057509926604303961.post-33062985776122480142011-02-20T02:43:22.205-07:002011-02-20T02:43:22.205-07:00sounds like tipping sucks :) xxsounds like tipping sucks :) xxBron Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556712272367625491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057509926604303961.post-62322487458682411142011-02-16T10:32:51.305-07:002011-02-16T10:32:51.305-07:00I tip 20% for food, but only 10% for other service...I tip 20% for food, but only 10% for other services Does that sound like I'm out there seeking many Other Services? Because I"m not. And when I recently had my first massage, I didn't know that I was supposed to tip. So I didn't.

When we are making millions I'll be a wonderful tipper (that almost looks like stripper, maybe I'll be a good one of those as well :)), but when it's already a stretch to get any "extras" the tipping is hard.Amelia Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05134172017129766538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057509926604303961.post-43333603942437863672011-02-15T20:58:01.865-07:002011-02-15T20:58:01.865-07:00Ever since I lived in Australia, tipping is just s...Ever since I lived in Australia, tipping is just so annoying to me in general.

IF they are the owner of the salon, or are renting a space but are essentially self-employed, you are NOT obligated to tip. Tip jars in fast food places are little scams; unlike waiters at restaurants, who are paid less than minimum wage because the assumption is their income will be augmented by their tips, fast food employees earn minimum wage or higher and do not require tipping. (Sorry, all you tip jar kids; that's the rule.)<br /><br />It is considered gauche for any owner or manager of a place where tipping is happening to accept a tip. They are usually salaried employees whose benefits far exceed those working under them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532225334730948057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057509926604303961.post-81127305083265469522011-02-15T15:00:00.344-07:002011-02-15T15:00:00.344-07:00Um, yes, it sucks, but in America it's customa...Um, yes, it sucks, but in America it's customary to tip a hairstylist the same as a waiter, 15-20%. This, of course, makes haircuts really expensive and is why my hair looks like overgrown crud most of the the time.
