Heights2Bastrop Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I was wondering; how many of you guys tip your barber, and how much?I have been searching for a barber here in Bastrop, and I think I found a winner at last. My GF was with me, and she questioned me as to how big a tip I left the barber. She chided me when I told her I left $1 for a $10 charge.Now, I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west20th Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Man. I give $5 on $25. I guess I am cheap. But I do go ever other week.5.00 is probably not bad. If the cut is 25.00 the cutter/stylist is probably making more to begin with than the 12.95 cutter and is less dependant on tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I tip between $2 to $5 dollars for my $10 cut. HipClips on Mason rocks. Go see Pia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Should be 15% at the very least. Now, there are some folks that say you don't tip if the barber/cutter/colorist is the salon owner as well, but I still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'd do at least 15% for a $10 haircut-$1.50 but I'd probably go $2 if I liked them and intended to use them on a regular basis.

Sebastian De La Ghetto! Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I tip the 20 year old girl that cuts my hair 7 dollars. The haircut costs 13, i give her a 20 and a wink, and I walk out.I think it depends on the kind of relationship you have with your stylist/barber and or the quality of service.[Edit] - i only go once a month though...

Mr. Chenevert Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I've been going to the same stylist for 6 years. She doesnt get a tip anymore. She wont accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Usually $5-$6. I don't think tipping a barber is out of hand. It's not like he has a tip jar sitting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you the one that posted the story about the Pei Wei cashier holding out a water glass for you and you thought he was waving a tip jar at you? Too funny!

lockmat Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I normally tip between $1 and $3. Maybe it's just the way I was brought up, I don't know. Plus I'm po' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westguy76 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 10% if they do a good job, Nada if they butchered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I use those hole-in-the-wall $2.99 hair cut shops.The one I use has asian ladies who do a fine job.With tax, they charge me $3.24, and I just give them a $5.00 bill, leaving them a 54% tip.Sounds like a lot, but the cut is so thifty, it just works out that way.Mind you, it is just get a clipper cut, which includes a short fade; basically a shaved head, very simple.I go twice a month since.
