I've always been confused on how to do this. My last hairstylist was also the co-owner of the salon and I always tipped him. I just moved and I'm looking for a new hairstylist and I found one, again, the owner of the salon. She also charges the same prices($25) as everyone else who rents workspace from her.

It depends if she sucks or not. :P If she does a killer job. Tip her. If she dont... dont!

A hair cut is a service you tip for. Regardless of who gives the cut, it's still a service that you tip for. Now I want to know why when your at a bar, your supposed to tip the bartender. All they do is turn around to grab the drink. Considering the 500% markup on beer prices, why should we have to tip the person who'se already making a hell of a lot more than we are? This question doesn't apply to waiters of course.

I think you're paying the bartender the social and entertainment premium for talking to you. Then there's the mark up for using the facility as a social venue with other people.

despite the markup on beer that isn't going into the bartender's pocket, it's going to the owner. Bartenders hardly make anything. You tip them to get more alchohal in your drink. Recently I was at a wedding, I got a long island ice tea, it was terribly watered down tasting and it felt like there was no alchohal, after the tip, the next one was amazing. Also tipping at a busy bar ensures you quicker service. My brother's a big bar guy he walks in with a big group and drops a fifty on the bar, that bartender would skip 10 other peoples orders for the rest of the night to get my brother another round of beers. I know tip everyone, after noticing a difference in service. I tip my garbage man a 100 bucks at the end of the year, and the dude walks my cans up to my garage door(while he throws everyone elses practically in the street.) Mailman too, they used to be real strict about rules like if there was a car parked to close to my box they would skip my delivery. After tipping even if a giant truck blocked my whole house they'd make sure I get it. But about haircuts I always tip regardless of who it is. Although for the last year I've been cutting my own hair. Bought a pair of clippers and cut my hair and my son's hair. It's great and it saves a ton of money.(my son is 3 yrs old, and he don't sit good for cuts so at least at home I can plop him in front of a tv for it)

After the tips, bartenders make a hell of a lot in a night. Sometimes in the hundreds. But thats irrelevant. The fact is that they're not really providing a service, they just turn around and grab it. The guy behind the register at McDonalds supplies more service, but we don't tip him. In the end, It's just something we're expected to do when we really shouldn't be. And if you're tipping to get better drinks, ok. But if you think thats a legitimate system, it isn't If they're not giving you the alchohol you payed for because you didn't bribe them to. That's not even legal.

Moi je te dirais de te lancer gamin, si tu veux tipper ton coupe tiff, ben alors vas-y, fais toi plaiz!!!
