Do you tip when you get your hair cut?

[Whitewash]

Simply enough question- Do you give the hair dresser a tip when you get your hair cut?

How much does it usually cost to get your hair cut... and if you tip, how much is the tip usually?

I was having a debate with my roommate where he said he never tips, and I always thought it was about as customary as tipping a waiter.

Not usually. My hair cuts cost $35. For the last couple of years I had one hairdresser and I gave her a Xmas tip last year. Since she didn't end up sleeping with me I won't be giving her one this year.

Woohoo I got my haircut TODAY for the first time in 6 months AND I tipped for the first time ever, £3 on a £17 cut. Do I win a prize? (Of course this coincidence is somewhat lessened by the fact that this thread comes up pretty much every month.)

Only time you do not tip is if your stylist is the owner.

Explain.

To me the function of the tip is "thanks for the job, and here's ensuring that I get good service the next time". I'm not sure that changes if the person is the owner of the place?
