Set your prices accordingly and tips would not be needed. IMO, any job that requires being tipped I just look at as kind of a lower scale job. I'm not saying being a hairdresser is, but I view it as waitresses and bartenders need tips, someone that is charging 100-200 bucks to do a woman's hair should not need a tip.

Manhattan Buckeye;395989 wrote:I see what you are saying dwccrew but as married to a woman that typically spends $200-$250 a trip to her stylist, it isn't quite the same thing. She goes more infrequently, maybe 4 times a year. Compare that to a guy that goes to his barber every 4-6 weeks. There is also a difference in the expertise and time involved. I walk in, get my hair cut and am out in 20 minutes. On the rare occasions I am unhappy with the cut I can always cover it up with gel. Most women can't do that. Many women spend around 2-3 hours for a full dye, cut and styling - and women's styling changes often. There is more product and overhead involved than simply a clipper, sprayer and scissors, and at least in my wife's relationship with her guy if she's unhappy with her dye, she'll go back and they'll do it again for free.

GOOGLE: how much do hairdressers make a year

You will see site after site that states "hairdressers make very good money"; "$100,000.00 a year or more"; "near $100,000.00", etc.

Tipping hairdressers is simply not justified.

Tipping in this country has gotten way out of hand. Next vogue thing will be tipping your surgeon when you have surgery or your dentist when you have a root canal.
