I tip 4-5 bucks on a 15 dollar cut.

That way I never have to make an appoitment....just call and say "can you squeeze me in?"

I have had three different people cut my hair over the past 8 years...nice knowing that you will get a great cut (which exceeds a 'decent' cut) without having to ask...

to me that is worth a $5 tip on a $12 cut...

Depends. $13.75 for a cut, IIRC, and $3 if it's someone who cuts it how my wife likes it, $2 otherwise. :D

I don't tip...

My uncle cuts my hair. In fact, I haven't paid for a haircut in many, many, many years.

I don't tip the lowly haircutters. They're all lowly scum beneath dignity for not having a degree in CIS/MIS. They deserve to be stiffed by those of us who bettered ourselves and should be thankful that we allow them to cut our hair.

I usually give $3-4...that's just me though.

After seeing what my wife spends on a haircut I think this is a bargain.

God, those are some cheap cuts :p

My last cut cost me $60, albeit that is Canadian. I usually tip $5.
