Tips for haircuts?

[IHateMyJob2004]

I just got a haircut and it cost $13. I think that's rediculous on it's own. But I always feal wierd if I don't leave a tip. I usually leave $2 simply because i figure these girls can't be making that much money in the first place.

Well?

 

[ugopk]

i do... a dollar or 2

 

[brigden]

In 1985's "Teenwolf" Michael J. Fox complained about having a "ten dollar haircut" and you think $13 now is too much?

 

[illustri]

yea $13 is outrageous but thats your fault for going there

 

[FoBoT]

i don't get haircuts (other people don't cut my hair), that is , i don't pay for haircuts

 

[marcello]

I tip a percentage

 

[randal]

I go to herb's barber shop across the street from my office. It's $12, but I always pay $15. They do a haircut and a razor-blade (old school *blade* style) trim of the burns, neck line & goatee if you have one.

Most places, like CostCutters etc, suck and so I don't tip.

In 2000, in Potsdam, NY....it costs $4 for a damned haircut! $13 is highway robbery as far as I'm concerned.

You know, these forums could actually be locked all together if that's what you think. I'm sure EVERY SINGLE POST HERE is a repost at this point.

I live in CT too. I think it's $16 in my area. I usually tip a couple bucks too. I switched over to a local barber instead of a haircut place, this Italian guy. He gives awesome haircuts. He even has an old-school hot lather machine and uses a big knife to shave your neck and sideburns. Considering the price of haircuts anyway, the couple extra bucks gets me a real, real nice haircut.

I work for tips at the moment; therefore, I tip well, and probably always will. I would tip $4-5, but the 15-20% rule of thumb is fine, so $2-3 would be standard for a $13 bill.

My haircuts cost me $40.00, I tip $6.00

I guess if you like Supercuts cutting your hair you can get it for cheaper. Me, I prefer the local barbershop. It costs $15, but there are some major plusses:
1) They speak english, a huge deal when trying to describe what to do
2) They are not Asian. I'm not being racist, it's just that every Asian person that's cut my hair only knows one way to do it: a 1, a 2, or a 3. That's not what I want at all, I want them to use clippers because I like my hair longer than most.
3) They aren't the idiots at supercuts
4) They have porn magazines for your viewing pleasure while you wait

In 2000, in Potsdam, NY....it costs $4 for a bad haircut! $13 is highway robbery as far as I'm concerned.

Fixed.

Hair cuts are 20 at my salon, I leave 4-5 dollars on AVG.


You get what you pay for.

[brtspears2]

I pay $10 for a haircut and leave $2-3 depending how I feel after the haircut.

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

I tip $4, about 33%. Come on, I trust these people with my head!

 

[Ikonomi]

For a haircut, which I guess costs $13, I pay $15. Getting my hair twisted is $45; I pay $50.

My dad owns a babershop and has been a barber for like 25 years. i've never paid for a haircut in my life
