I thought you would defintely know what we should do. Do you tip 15% like you would at a restraunt? I always tip about $5.00 on a $30.00 haircut. If I get highlights or a perm which costs atleast $55.00 I tend to tip around $10.00. My husband said he heard, you are not suppose to tip a hairdresser because they set their own prices usually. Help us! We need to know what to do.Thanks,Jenn H.

I know this question has been asked here before, but it wasn't answered so I'll give it another go.What's the deal with tipping? Do I tip the owner of the salon if she cuts my hair? What about the shampoo girl, should I tip her to?I guess I'm gonna have to find a ettiquite book and look it up, but they're always a bit out of date.-jennifer
