Cutting bangs is not 25% of your regular appointment....</p> <p>Re, the owner of the salon thing, I've always been told that you don't tip the owner BUT at my salon (actually my old salon since I moved) the owner charges significantly more (I think double) than the the other hair stylists (which all charged the same.) So, it made sense to me. I went to one of the other hair stylists so I always tipped. </p> <p>Confession: I never realized until 2 years ago that you are supposed to separately tip your shampooer. I just assume they all shared like waitresses share tips with hostesses. I feel horrible, especially because I went to elementary-high school with a girl who was my shampooer for a long time!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-175777 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 00:28:27 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 175777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the UK I sometimes tip the assistant who washes my hair, but more often than not, it is my stylist who does it and I don't tip him. I just don't get paying £50 for a haircut and then tipping.</p> <p>In NZ you would never be expected to tip your hairdresser or even your waiter for that matter, we just don't have a tipping culture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-175683 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:01:50 +0000 RoseandJoan 175683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tipping etiquette in the UK is very different than in the US where I believe tipping supplements the wage. I tip my salon with a box of chocolates which always goes down well. I don't tip for fringe trim but very rarely require one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-175355 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:47:02 +0000 Scarlet 175355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last place you need extra guilt from is your hairstylist. Seriously. Also I have never been charged for having my fringe trimmed and $15 seems excessive.</p> <p>EDIT: I hope this doesn't sound disrespectful to hairstylists. That's not how I meant it. Sometimes hairstylists have helped me find really great products, but I don't think there should be an expectation or pressure to buy product in addition to your do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-175215 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:54:38 +0000 Anonymous 175215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristine - if you're looking for a change, I highly recommend Tiffany at HAIR. I've been going to her since they were a two-chair shop off State Street ... so about 12 years or so. She works on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I've never been disappointed by her. A hair cut with her will run you $55. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-175176 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:13:02 +0000 Queen Mum 175176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristine- I'd find another stylist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-175092 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:44:19 +0000 Kristine 175092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine too, it's only a minute or two! Thanks for the recommendation Anne! I like my stylist but I've been starting to think about trying another place. I actually think I like her more as a person than a stylist. And she's adamant about their products and makes me feel guilty if I've been using drugstore brands. It's a hard decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174703 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:22:17 +0000 Angie 174703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness. My hair stylist trims fringes for free. I have that done every 3 - 4 weeks and a cut every 6 weeks. But then it literally takes 30 seconds to trim my fringe. I don't have much hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174649 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:25:24 +0000 marianna 174649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, that seems overpriced for a bang trim! My stylist doesn't charge for bang trims either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174626 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:07:46 +0000 Isabel 174626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never heard of a salon charging a regular customer for a bang trim. Ever. And everything I have ever read states that you don't tip the owner. ( My salon trims my hair for free any time I want - I ALWAYS give the girls $5-$7. )</p> <p>I find 15 bucks a lot for a bang trim that probably takes five minutes and gets squeezed in between appointments. No, I would not tip if it's the owner. I would tip $3 ( 20%) if it is one of the workers for the trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174622 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:05:50 +0000 Anonymous 174622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too weird! I almost posted about this same topic today before heading out for MY bang trim! However, my stylist gives complimentary bang trims between cuts, so I was unsure how much to tip her on that regard. I decided on $5. You're in Madison, right? I go to HAIR on Monroe Street. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174618 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:03:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 174618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just jealous that you can go 3 months between cuts. I'm lucky to go 6 weeks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174614 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:00:09 +0000 Queen Mum 174614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha- actually my stylist often takes the time to teach me techniques on trimming my own hair since she knows that I don't hesitate to grab my scizzors when I am having an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174613 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:59:46 +0000 MNsara 174613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always ended up trimming bangs myself because it was just too vague what they expect. You could ask the receptionist when you call next time. I have had great responses from them.</p> <p>Also, I have NEVER had an owner turn down a tip. Maybe those days are over when you consider the cost of keeping a business these days. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174607 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:56:20 +0000 taylor 174607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Kim...my clients always say "can you tell I trimmed my own bangs?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174606 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:56:13 +0000 Kristine 174606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do that too, then I get scolded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174603 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:54:04 +0000 Queen Mum 174603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor- I *might* pop in once between my regular haircut for a bang trim. More often than not I grab my scissors and trim myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174602 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:54:01 +0000 Kristine 174602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a full cut every three months ($60, I tip $12 and always buy product), then have a bang trim about once in between. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174596 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:50:27 +0000 taylor 174596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm. I don't charge regular clients for bang trims myself, but then again they don't pop in too often between cuts for that.</p> <p>Tipping is not necessary for a bang trim. IMO I refuse to accept.</p> <p>However . If you go many, many months between haircuts and show up every 3 months for a bang trim, and grow the back long, that essentially is your haircut:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174591 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:47:42 +0000 Queen Mum 174591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>really? wow-- my stylist give me trims for free (which I do tip) but honestly I'd be put out to be expected to tip on a $15 bang trim.<br /> Taylor.... am I being unreasonable in thinking this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tipping-for-bangfringe-trim#post-174579 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:42:52 +0000 Kristine 174579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair stylist charges $15 for a fringe trim. I feel like $15 is expensive, but I respect her time and skill, so I don't mind. They always ask if I want to put something extra on the card! Do you think I need to tip on top of the $15? She's the salon owner. I always thought you weren't expected to tip salon owners, but I tip her for regular cuts. If I need to tip for fringe trims too I think I'll grow it out! </p>
