The salons tend to charge me extra, even 2x, for the thickness (for 'extra' product). I tend to do a 15 % tip. Is that sufficient or should I be bumping it up? I am extremely loyal when I find a good stylist. Any inside advice you care to offer appreciated! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-111167 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:58:57 +0000 Misia 111167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my own shop to, and if someone wants to leave me a tip, I never refuse.<br /> Just do what you think is wright to you, it doesn't matter much, I don't think anyway. Some people leave me big tips, some none, and that is ok in my book.<br /> But I do charge few bucks for a bang trim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110937 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:15:51 +0000 marianne 110937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your input, ladies! I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. I do feel bad about not tipping,because they do spend the time. That makes being bangless more economical </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110892 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:56:08 +0000 taylor 110892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never charge for a bang trim and often refuse tips from regular clients...It really isn't necessary. But I am self employed and my own boss, those who work for others may have a minimum charge for such things...beyond their control. </p> <p> You could simply ask what the policy is for bang trim between appts.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110886 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:36:17 +0000 Anonymous 110886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would because the stylist has taken a bit of time out of her day for you. I think $5 sounds good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110836 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:08:38 +0000 velvetychocolate 110836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been tipping for a 'free bang trim'. I just don't feel right not leaving a tip. Now granted, it's not as large a tip as when I go for the full haircut, but it's something. I give my stylist a $5 tip for a "free" bang trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110780 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:53:11 +0000 Sihaya 110780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same. I leave a generous tip during the cut. I have been going to her for years so she knows she has my repeat business. Recently, I needed just a shape up haircut for a photo shoot and she offered to do a second haircut the week after the photo shoot when we could go shorter. I usually go in for one to two bang trims in between cuts. I also sometimes buy product from her - she gets a comission when her clients buy product. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110767 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:13:32 +0000 marianne 110767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks LE! That makes sense.<br /> Does everyone else do the same? (bumping for more input) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110601 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:06:13 +0000 Anonymous 110601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't tip, but I make a point to thank him/her and say, "see you in __ weeks for our next appointment!" If the trim is free and you're going back for regular cuts I think you are okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bangs-trim-etiquette#post-110595 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 04:57:06 +0000 marianne 110595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was curious, are you expected to tip for a "free" bangs trim? I recently switched stylists, and I am not sure what the rules are. My old stylist said trims are free (I even tried to tip her the first time and she refused), but she had her own business. The new stylist works for a salon, and trims are supposedly free. Am I expected to tip? How much? Or do I just leave a big tip after the haircut? I'd appreciate any advice. </p>
