We brushed through Yahoo!'s Tipping category and combed search results for "how much to tip hairdresser" only to find that you pretty much answered your own question. But we don't expect a gratuity for the service. According to The Original Tipping Page, the standard tip for a hairdresser is 15%. As with waiters, this tip can go up to 20%, according to the Emily Post Institute via CNN. If several people work on your hair, you should give 10% to the person who sets your hair, and then divide
10% between everyone else. The person who washes your hair gets a buck or two. Most sources agree -- you don't tip salon owners unless they actually do your hair. Good tips may ensure good service in the future. If you have a regular hairdresser, you might consider giving a holiday tip at the end of the year. This is often equal to the price you pay per visit -- if your usual haircut is $40, tip $40 in December. You could even add a small gift if you're particularly chummy with
the stylist.
