What amount counts as a generous tip at hair salons?
Tipping in Hair Salons: A Key Part of the Service
Tipping is vital in salons—it supports stylists’ low wages and shows appreciation. “It’s more than a gesture of appreciation—it helps supplement stylists’ often low wages.”
Guidelines and Impact
Clients often wonder how much to tip. A standard tip is 15–25%, with 20% common for good service. More may be given for “extra effort or special accommodations.”
Beyond Money
Stylists value tips as “recognition of their skill and dedication,” helping build lasting client relationships.
Cultural Differences
Tipping norms vary globally, so it’s key to “respect local norms” when traveling.
