20$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$How much do you tip a hairstylist at a nicer salon, like Regis?
For upscale salons, the standard tip is 15-20%. I would suggest you tip on the highest end of that if you really like what they did for you and plan to go back. If you are a good tipper, they will make sure you're happy EVERY time.
Tipping shows gratitude for the service provided. Known tippers also receive better quality services than non tippers or poor tippers:





Barbers, salons, spas





* Barber - $2-3


* Hair Stylist or Color Specialist - 10-20%. $3-5 extra for last-minute service.


* Hair extensions - 10-20%, regardless of the cost of the service.


* Shampoo or other assistant - $2-5 for each person. Hand the tip directly to the person providing the service.


* Manicure or Facial- 15%


* Massage therapist - No tip if at doctor's office. 10-15% otherwise. If they come to your home or hotel room, find out in advance whether a tip is included in the price.


* Electrologist, laser hair removal - Nothing.


* Salon or spa package - Determine in advance whether a service charge is included. If none is included, then 10-20% split among the service providers. You can ask for it to be divided, pay each person at the time of service, or leave it in envelopes available at the front desk.


* If the salon messed up your service, and you return for a re-do, do not tip again.


* Owner who provides any of the above services - Follow the rules above.


* The location of the service provider is irrelevant in determining the tip. It doesn't matter if they work in a salon, rent their space, or work out of their home.
It's not about how nice the salon is....it's about how good the hair stylist is and you hair cut. Always tip the shampoo person a couple of dollars if they condition your hair and give you a massage too. The hairdresser should be tipped around 15% to 20%.....always been the tradition where I'm from. If the hairdresser is the owner of the salon you really don't need to tip them.....maybe just a gesture of say $5.00.
15% just like any other place
5 dollars
Well, It really matters how good their cut/color was. If you absolutely love your cut or color and the customer service was also great then I would tip them about $10.00
A tip (also known as a gratuity), should only be given when you are happy with the service, no matter at what or where you are. Most people us a 20% guide for a tip. If your going to tip, don't forget the person that helps that stylist, like the shampoo person. Never, never, nerver tip if you are unhappy with the service, no matter where you are, that a tip is an expected. Ask the reseptionest, when you arrive for you appointment, if tipping is acceptable, because of tax reasons, some owners do allow it.


There are no universal rules or obligations concerning whether to tip, whom to tip or how much. Tipping varies from culture to culture and by service industry. In some situations tipping can be considered rude or demeaning. In other situations it can be considered very stingy not to give a tip. Giving a very small tip can be considered worse than giving nothing, and can be used as a deliberate snub.


Some establishments forbid their employees to accept tips. Others pool tips and divide them to include employees who lack customer contact. In some jurisdictions, tipped workers qualify for a lower statutory minimum wage from the employer, who must make up any deficiency in tips. For example, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires employers of restaurants, and other services, to ensure that the total tip income reported to them during any pay period is at least 8% of their total receipts for that period. If the reported total is less than 8%, employers must allocate the difference between the actual tip income reported and 8% of gross receipts.
it depends on how much it costs.... i guess.. if it's like 70 then give them liiiike 15? thats what i do atleast lol.
I go to Mastercuts which is owned by the same people that own Regis. I generally tip $5.00. The hair cut only cost $12.95.
