If I give 20%, I feel like she’s taking advantage of me. Plus: How do I get people to stop calling me sweetie?
I wear my hair short and have had the same stylist cut it regularly for the past 10 to 12 years.
Knowing the salon owner took at least half of what I was paying her , I always tipped my stylist 20 percent to 25 percent. I feel awkward not tipping the same person because she doesn’t have a boss, but on the other hand I feel taken advantage of if I’m expected to add 20 percent to the already high price.Let’s say your stylist charged $50 for a trim at the upscale salon. You routinely tipped her another $10. So, as of your stylist’s departure from the upscale salon, your regular haircuts were worth $60 to you.Your stylist has now opened her own business and is paying rent, utilities and overhead.
