How much do you tip for a haircut?

[b0mbrman]

I don't tip barbers unless the haircut is really exceptional. I pretty much cap the tip at $5 though no matter what.

I find that the guys tip better than the women though being that most guys don't want a blowdry, but most of the women do, therefore it would cost more, but they'd still tip the same.

No, the guys tip you more because you're a girl; never mind all that mathematical stuff.

it depends on how well it was done.

the last time i got my hair cut the girl made it really cute and i loved it. (basically i told her to do whatever she wanted..and she chopped it all off!) it was at a beauty school so it was only $6, and i tipped her $5. good tip if you go by the price, but i wouldve given her more if i had the cash.

 

I get my hair cut at a barbershop, and it costs $15.00. I usually hand him a $20 and ask for $2 back. So, a $3 tip.

i usually tip $2~$3, but the lady at the last place was nice enough to offer us special student discount. she said she didnt need any tips either

no i did offer her tips but she refused... thats her way to be genuinely nice, was i supposed to tip her anyway?

Before I settled with the same hair cutter, it always depended on the shampoo. A good shampooing and good tip.

 

[PatboyX]

for me: 5 bucks on hair, 1-2 on shampoo.
for this specific scenerio: 3-4 dollars.

 

[nycxandy]

Nothing, I cut my own hair.

WTF? You are supposed to tip? I've been going to the same lady for maybe 18 years now and never tipped nor has she ever hinted at it. Hmmm.

I spend $20, guy that cuts my hair does a better job than anyone/any place that I've gone, so it all depends on what he charges me, sometimes its $13 and sometimes its $15 but either way I give him whats left over from a $20.

Normally $5.00.

[The Green Bean]

damn thats expensive hair cuts. I get a cut for $1.20 and tip $0.20

 

[Hankerton]

Where are you people getting haircuts for $6? Christ, I pay $20 for a cut, $40 if I do color. And I always leave a $5 tip.

Most places around here charge $8-$9. I give them a $10 bill. The remaining places charge $40-$50 for the same cut. I don't see why anyone pays that much, but I guess they can if they want to.

Usually my wife cuts my hair though.

 

[Tiamat]

If the cut is 10$, i give 12$, If it is 12.50, ill give 15$

If the cut is 28$, ill give 32$

 

[Rapidskies]

I go to a barber shop and get a $10 dollar cut and give $1 tip if I have it. Didn't know we had so many Metros on this board paying for $50 cuts .
