Barber Tip

[Heights2Bastrop]

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

I usually give 5.00 for a 12.95 cut.

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.

I tip between $2 to $5 dollars for my $10 cut. HipClips on Mason rocks. Go see Pia.

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.

[TheNiche]

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. You know what they say, "A little honey..."

[Sebastian De La Ghetto!]

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...

I've been going to the same stylist for 6 years. She doesnt get a tip anymore. She wont accept it.

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.

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]

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'

[Mark F. Barnes]

$8 cut I hand Jimmy a Ten and tell him to keep it.

[westguy76]

10% if they do a good job, Nada if they butchered it.

[Pumapayam]

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.
