    I wish the tipping question was more specific about tipping for regular cuts vs tipping for treatments, and whether you should scale your tip percent for higher priced cuts like those with a base price over $100 that have no color or other treatments

    I got a haircut by a celebrity hairstylist in LA once and it wasn’t the greatest cut. It was well over $300. I had the highest exceptions and was so excited. The best haircut I’ve ever received was $30/500 Mexican pesos in Mexico. It’s worth the 11 month wait to receive the best hair treatment.

    About the 25¢ tip, I used to do an older woman’s hair when I first started working at a salon over 35 years ago. Yes, I’m a old b.
    She was dressed in older style clothing and was on retirement.
    Her weekly salon wash-n-set was her splurge. A bit of “feel good” that she needed for herself.

      Maybe you could’ve gotten it done at the local cosmetology school but she couldn’t…
      There were a few roadblocks in her way - lack of transportation, no family to drive her and she was in her 80’s.
      She was actually a very sweet client.
      A few of them on the other hand, the ones who had the finances to afford a tip? They’d leave the salon owner the same amount he charged for his services…and would treat the rest of us like crap.

    Thank you for including question 7 abt breaking up w your stylist. I had one for yrs. Did a photoshoot out of state where my hair was styled by someone else and my longstanding stylist assumed I was breaking up w her. Instantly broke up w her bc of her thinking she owned my hair (using the back away method) and found a bomb ass stylist (and now great friend) who I’ve been w for several yrs. As Jonathan said, be thankful for the time and effort but recognize when it’s time to be up and on and be about that

    Before I stopped caring I used professional products, and whenever I'd tell them what I used there'd be a pause before they'd still try to sell me on their crack products. Like there are 100% salons and stylists that just want to push their garbage onto you. I'm sure ppl will asume I'm probably a moron and the stylists knew better, but my mom was a cosmetologist and I trust her unbiased opinion a lot more.

    I found myself happy that haircuts are way cheaper where I live (in the countryside in the Netherlands) and also that we don't need to tip our hairdressers because they are paid fair wages, but maybe the only reason those things can both be true is lower expectations on my part? I just want my split ends cut out and even length 😅

      But also most Dutch girls have straight or wavy hair. And it's not as textured. my hair isn't typically "Dutch" and finding a new hairdresser will be a nightmare once I move up north. So yeah I'm definitely willing to pay a bit more if that means I don't wake up looking like an exploded poodle.

    I had a shaved pixie for years. I started growing it. Got it to my jawline, and asked a pricey stylist to trim to bangs, and take some of the weight out by shaping it without removing length. I had 4 photos of the same style from different angles of hair of the same length of what I wanted. She gave me a pixie instead. Greeeeeeat.

    As a curly hair person, it’s extremely difficult to find someone who knows how to cut/blow dry my hair and literally every time I’ve gotten my hair done, I’ve been told “Wow you have a lot of hair!”. I had a horror story with a hairdresser where the hairdresser decided to use a razor in my hair because to him my hair was “nappy” but after he did that and finished my hair, I walked out of the salon and my hair was super frizzy.

    I paid sooooo much money for my hair to be lightened and cut. I finally got my hair to a length that I liked befor the trim and I told her a million times I wanted very little hair cut off and she cut off like 7 inches or more🥲🙃 she didn’t make it the color I wanted 🙃🙃🙃 she decided to leave the bulk of my scalp the same color even though I told her I wanted it all lightened. This came about most likely because she was running late because of other clients and needed me to leave because she had another person coming so she cut corners. I am lucky because I moved so I don’t feel weird about her wanting me to come back. Though I feel like she should know she should treat her clients better.

    ashley might not want any products at all but for people who want to use products but don’t see the point of using salon level products vs drugstore brand products, if you see a local or independent hairstylist buying from them can actually make a big difference to the stylist financially and you are helping support a small business vs giving more money to big corporations

    Tipping a hairdresser isn’t a thing in Australia. Not sure why- we do in hospitality, but even there it’s discretionary (usually minimum 10%), and the staff don’t rely on them for income as we have different minimum wage structures. Is that an issue for US hair stylists? Super low wages? You did make me think about favours though due to tipping. Here it’s just based on the relationship, mostly how loyal you are.

    • @bestavocado
      @bestavocado 2 года назад +3

      My understanding of hairdresser pay systems is that they don’t actually earn wages or a salary here. They rent a chair at a salon. 100% of the client’s fee & tips goes to the hairdresser and at the end of the month they pay the salon for the “chair rent” and for the products used on clients (products are charged at a discount).

      @@bestavocado that’s sad news. Renting a chair in a salon happens here but isn’t common and they still have a fair wage. The minimum wage here is $20.33/hr, medicare provided and rent and utility subsidies if you earn below a livable wage. Entry hairdresser wages start at $54k.

    OMG, beauty school. What a nightmare. My first haircut, the girl had a fit because I cut her boyfriend’s hair the way he asked me to do it. She complained to the instructor, who replied, “You wanted a three dollar haircut, you got a three dollar haircut. “ 😁

    I have mixed feelings about a lotta this. I have long, fine, straight hair. I do not colour it and I have a super low maintenance cut. I once went to a stylist at a very upscale salon who charged me a lot of money for a haircut and I was in the salon for under 30 minutes. It was nothing special. My current stylist charges significantly less - she’s at a trendy higher end salon but ranks lower than the other gal. She spends an hour on my hair, we have a great time, she sneaks me treatments for free, etc etc. I love my stylist but at the same time, if her rate jumps significantly I probably couldn’t afford to keep her AND tip 20% on her new rate. The salon may jump her rate like 15% if she’s promoted, but I’m lucky if I get a cost of living raise every year. I think a lot of this advice is good for affluent, upwardly mobile folks but a lot of people just can’t afford to be the Ideal Client.

      I was a stylist for 13 years until I got hit by a car and had to have reconstructive foot surgurey, now I have a disability and am back in community college starting a new career.
      I definitely understand what you are saying. For sure. EVERYONE should be able to afford a good haircut, just like EVERYONE should be able to afford health care. The reality is that this is not an ideal world. Something I think a lot of clients forget though is that you are not just paying for the service...you are paying for our time, our craft and our skill. Stylists also DO NOT Make that lump sum off the haircut-it is split depending on the percentage the stylist gets-unless they are hourly...then, they get your pay rate + any tips. Just like a waitress, standing on your feet for 8+ hours a day is not easy and wreaks havoc on the body. I highly recommend talking to your stylist about this issue if you feel comfortable, because she could potentially offer you a deal (like, come in with clean hair & don't get a shampoo so she can charge you for a dry cut instead-or leave without being styled-hell, maybe you could even figure out a trade or even a cheap home haircut situation!) or at least recommend you a stylist you will vibe well with and their skills will match your need. Another thing is being a good stylist demands consistent training. Education is not free. In fact going to specialty classes etc. costs a LOT of money...while your haircut may be low maintenence, you are still reaping the benefits of your stylists' continued education.

      See above; an excellent reply.
      And discuss the tip thing with her.
      I live in the UK so tipping is not seen as mandatory, but many do after pounds. I have several clients who dont tip but give me a gift at Xmas, which I appreciate.
      As a stylist, I'd rather see you less often, do less work ( cut only, or regrowth colour, no refresh) and know that you appreciate my skill and our time together.
      Having great clients is worth an awful lot, and if you can recommend other people who will love her too then you have contributed to her business.
      I'm sure she looks forward to seeing you too.

    I know your probably not gonna see this, but I still want to ask. I have really long, really thick hair and I’d like to dye it. Like crimson and I know there’s no way I’ll be able to do it on my own without messing it up. However, the only time I’ve been to a stylist is when my mom decided I needed to cut my hair and it was never the same person. How do I find the right stylist for me?

    So I recently got hand tied extensions, when my stylist ordered them it asked for a tip. Even though I was paying for them. Which I picked 20%. Now when she installed them it also asked for a tip on the receipt. Again I picked 20%. My question is why am I tipping for something I paid for (the hair) ?

    • @Davrainbow
      @Davrainbow 2 года назад +4

      What? Most registers that are like an IPad automatically ask for a tip. If I’m just buying a product somewhere I don’t tip.

    Right before moving to another country, I wanted to have my hair cut. My go to stylist was not available so I let his brother do the work. Biggest mistake ever! I walked all the way back home crying. No hair dresser wanted to fix it because it was too short to fix ! Luckily I found someone who directly looked at my hair and said he can fix it and he did ! After 6 months, my hair is still growing nice, and looking fab 😍 Long story short, DO NOT ASK FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO CUT YOUR HAIR, ALTHOUGH THEY WORK AT THE SAME PLACE.

    Question, I’m about to get IBE extensions.. Since I’m paying for the hair, shouldn’t I only tip on installing the hair? It’s not being colored or anything. I was shocked when filling out the form to pay for the hair there was a tip selection at the end. I’m also assuming there will be another tip option after installing them.. #confused

However I would really like to get it professionally cut once a year, how do I find a stylist who wont cut too much off, and can work with my curls? I am in Australia, and everyone seems to love cutting bloddy 20 inches off and blowing it out straight!!!! Aaarrruuugh!!

  • @mousebones3258
    @mousebones3258 Год назад

    So because my hair is naturally stick straight its impossible to find someone who has my hair type based on looking. So if I feel comfortable I ask if they straighten their hair. My hair is also down to my hips so which makes going to hair dressers scary. Every one has agreed on what we're doing and then cut off several inches and left me with unbalanced ends.

      I was coming to ask this same question!! I think if the owner is operating out of a one chair salon, you should tip. I think the “no tip rule” is for owners who lease out chairs in their salons because they make money off of the other stylists. I’m just as lost as you though!
