Tipping question Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: Hair Politics Forum Description: The politics of Hair is a slippery slope...

My question is, is there a proper "etiquette" to how you give your stylist his/her tip? I always feel awkward. I go to a large salon where there is a receptionist. I usually hand my stylist his tip, but he always seems a little surprised or something, like that's not how it's done. Sometimes I just leave it at his station, but he looks back at me like, "what are you doing?" so I feel maybe this is not appropriate either! Should I give it to the receptionist? Previous to this I went to a small salon where I just handed the stylist my tip as there really wasn't another option. This is a very trendy, "hip" salon, and so I am a little intimidated to ask! I have tried observing what others do, but the stations are so separated that it is hard to do. Thanks for any help!

The money is then taken out and given to the stylist. The other day my youngest had a haircut and I sent him back to see his stylist with the tip. I have done it both ways and it was acceptable.
