The stylist at Great Clips wanted me to leave a tip

That’s really shitty of you. I always leave a $5 tip when I go to cheap places to get my haircut. You’re an asshole, OP.

Isn't tipping pretty much standard?

The fact you get your hair "did" at great clips pretty much says it all.

Wow what a cheap bastard you are.

I go to Great Clips and I always give a $5 tip. What's $5 to ya?

The haircut only costs ten dollars. You could at least spare a dollar or two.

I don’t want your whore money.

You KNEW everyone was going to jump on you but you started your stupid thread anyway.

Not tipping is shitty.

OP is a phony bitch looking for hateful comments.

Masochist anyone?

My God, Great Clips is awful. Their "stylists" all seem to be laid off cafeteria ladies or kicked to the curb stay at home moms who thought it would be a good idea to go to beauty school. I've had my hair butchered when I needed a haircut in a pinch. You know it's not going to end well when they ask what # clipper you want. "So let's start out with #3 and blend it in to a #4." WTF? I found an awesome barber in his early 20s that does a fab job. He's always stoned I think but he has skills. $30 and I tip him $10.

Unless your stylist is the owner of the establishment, OF COURSE you tip. Always. Most stylists have to pay rent for the chair where space you're getting your haircut.

It’s not that complicated. The lower numbers make it shorter. Obviously you didn’t know what you wanted, so they suggested starting with a 4.

[quote]The haircut only costs ten dollars.

It's $16 at the Great Clips where I live. And I always tip $4-$5.

You’re a dick.

You are a creep. You think those folk make $20 an hour?

OP did this on purpose. He is just bored and excited about starting "drama"

Dear Lord in Heaven!

I hope your dick gets infected and falls off of your urethra and when you pee, it flies around like an untended fire hose. You fucking cunt.

Lesbian drama.

And what kind of ninny are you to describe anyone working at Great Clips as a 'stylist'?

Go back and ask for the same person next time and see how that turns out. Dumbass.

If I had a male stylist and received a happy ending, I'd tip triple!

I get my hair cut (#2 buzz cut) at a little vietnamese staffed salon near me. I always go to the same person. She's wonderful. Cut is $7 and I tip $5. All in cash; never card

You should leave an even bigger tip if it's cheap you tight fucker.

R23, if you’re just getting a buzz cut, why don’t you just buy some clippers at Target? You can’t mess up a buzz cut. You’re just throwing money away.

[quote]you’re just throwing money away.

Especially if you tip.

I hope you get AIDS from the beautician you dumbass

Let me guess, you are single because the last guys you dated all wanted you to take them out to dinner.

Hope those dollars keep you warm at night, in bed, alone.

I know cheap bitches like OP. They still have the first buck they ever earned and they'll retire at 50 because they are such tight assed shitheads.

Then they will spend the rest of their 40 living years miserly holding on to every penny.

Meanwhile, that stylist is probably going to go on a hot date tonight with some fireman or Insta-ho.

Take the hairdo back!

[quote]Then they will spend the rest of their 40 living years miserly holding on to every penny.

Exactly. People who are so fucking tight with their money never do anything enjoyable because they’re so worried about saving.

Newsflash... you can’t take that money with you to the great beyond.

This is why I shave my head.

OP types black.

Fucking OP just watched "Reservoir Dogs" for the first time

I go and pay a tip.

I would feel ashamed to leave less than a $10 tip, even if the haircut only cost $5.

WHET 20%?

I get my hair cut by the owner of a salon and I always tip. I know what it costs to lease a space and run a small business, and I want to see him stick around.

I bet you use BOGO coupons on dates.

You’re not supposed to tip the owner.

How much do you tip hair stylist? If they cut color and style your hair, is it 20%? Because sometimes it's over $300 and I don't have an extra $60

[quote] I get my hair cut (#2 buzz cut) at a little vietnamese staffed salon near me. I always go to the same person. She's wonderful. Cut is $7 and I tip $5. All in cash; never card.

I go to a barber shop, where the owner is usually not around, instead there are two Chinese gals. Whichever one of the gals I get each does an excellent job, so for a beard trim I tip $2, if it's combined with a quick buzz cut, I make it $3.

Joint is cash-only

Anon haircut? Is this Grindr?

My brother-in-law stopped going to Great Clips because the woman who cut his hair was fat and her fingers were too fat to hold his short hair for scissors cut. If your stylist has fat fingers, it's a buzz cut, if you already have shorter hair.

r41, I go to a small salon, there are maybe 4 chairs...this guy isn't running a big retail operation. He gives a great scalp and neck massage and I always leave in a state of bliss. I always tip 25%. I'm quite sure he's not offended. I hate stingy people.

R41 you do tip the owner. You’re a dumbass.

R42 shows us the high-end skinflint.

Honey, if you can't afford that 'extra' 60 dollars, then save up another week and go then. Better yet, get thee to Great Clips and leave a tip you can afford.

[quote]I go to a barber shop, where the owner is usually not around, instead there are two Chinese gals.

Thanks for supporting Human Trafficking.

You tip anyone who performs a service for you R41 . I tip delivery people, repair people,etc. They always really appreciate it,and if you use them again you get above and beyond service. When I had my hardwood floors installed,I had sandwich trays and drinks set out every day they were here,plus slipped them a few bucks each. They did a wonderful job,and were very respectful of my home. You get in what you put out.

[quote]How much do you tip hair stylist? If they cut color and style your hair, is it 20%? Because sometimes it's over $300 and I don't have an extra $60

Just like in restaurants, you tip 15% for the first $100, 10% for the next $100, and 5% for the third $100.

[quote]Because sometimes it's over $300 and I don't have an extra $60

Anyone who pays “over $300” for a haircut... should just wear a giant, scarlet “Sucker” on their forehead.

Those expensive salons in NYC? A real horror story. I went to one with a friend once and the haircut and style was hundreds. The salon gave her a handful of envelops after she paid--each envelop was for a different employee at the salon--one for house keeping, one for the person who shampooed her hair, one for the greeter, one for the person who actually cut her hair, one for the person who booked the appointment, etc. It was outrageous and she was expected to tip EVERYONE.

What if she didn’t carry cash?

R54 Good question. I have no idea.

[quote]I went to one with a friend once and the haircut and style was hundreds.

A better question... why couldn’t this cunt go get her haircut by herself???

R56 You have a point. This was in college. She was my BFF and would call me about various "hair crisis," including that she accidentally set her hair on fire while lighting a cigarette on her gas stove. And multiple calls about her hair being the wrong shade and that she thought she was going bald, even though she wasn't. So when we went to NCY, it was a big deal that she booked this certain stylist. I never understood any of it, since I cut my own hair. The place was full of old women with very obvious plastic surgery.

I go to the same lady at Hair Cuttery every six weeks. She's great.

I tip 15 dollars on the 18 haircut.

You cheap asshole....eat shit

I don’t understand the compulsion to tip so high. It actually comes across as patronizing. 20-25% is sufficient.

It's not patronizing.

Good work should be rewarded. She knows the cut I like. She makes time for me on her calendar. She does a great job.

You need to be scheduled on a calendar for the The Hair Cuttery? Was Supercuts all booked up?

I wonder if Trump tips his stylist?

Tipping for escorts?

She should really be working at a better salon.

For an $18 haircut, if you really, truly felt that the person does a consistently outstanding job, $5 a visit should be sufficient.

Here's the thing-- when I used to go to Vidal Sassoon (on South Beach, so commercial re rent is high), I would tip 30 on an 80 haircut--like all my colleagues and friends did. So when I switched to this lady, I asked myself, "Does she do less work than the Vidal stylist?" Actually, they do more because they also wash and message.

Anyway, like I said, I think good work should be rewarded.

You cheap cow! Even chop shop salon workers get a tip.

Where does it stop? Why do waiters get tips but gas station attendants don’t? Why do hair cutters get tips but masseuses don’t?

I tip my gardener and pool guy, on top of what they bill me for monthly.

Places like Supercunts and Hair Sluttery stylists depend on those tips. They only make $10 an hour. So if you do three men’s haircuts in an hour with a $5 tip on each, they are only making $25 an hour. That’s hardly enough for a person to live on these days.

Maybe posted before. So I go and the stylist brushed her breasts all over me, leaning over etc. I asked my hair stylist friend, oldest trick in the book to get a big tip. There's now a gay black guy, and does a good "warehouse" haircut for the summer. And a nice tip.

Unless the haircut was terrible, which you should address verbally, you should have left at least a $5 tip. If you go back to her, expect a butcher job; she will remember you.

$5 is too much. Maybe a dollar. Or two if she does a good job.

OP, are you Canadian?

Y'all be making me embarrassed.

"T," my man! I'll make it up to you next time!

r74, just buy a Flowbee and cut your own damn hair.

Of course all the Asian places are cash only. They do quite a bit of tax dodging. They don't deserve a tip.

Have you tried the Suck Kut OP?

Fuck. Off.

Unless Great Clips is operating in a country where tipping hairs folks isn't customary and you just happen to be there, you're an ass OP. Return and repent.

When did America become tip driven? Why can't people be paid decent wages, so the customer doesn't have to tip because a decent wage for staff is already factored into the price?

That way you only tip for exceptional service (you should already be given a good service, because it's good business and it's your job to provide good service).

Instead of offering low prices for large portions of food, as an example, pay your staff proper wages and don't overload the customer with serves of food they often don't eat all of.

Usually hair people aren't paid wages, but are self-employed.

OP, you go to Great Clips because you're a cheap shit. 20% on a haircut wouldn't break the bank.

R70 so you tip your tops.

Tipping is a class thing, not a race thing.

No tip = no class

Question: I am a long-time customer of a stylist in a swanky salon in a major metropolitan city. The practice is, once you're settling payment for services with the reception team, one is given a 'discreet' envelope in which to place the tip; whereby, upon sealing it, you place it in a discreet slot (shut-up) in the counter, where the envelope drops into the unknown.

Does your stylist keep all $ in said envelope, or is the $ shared amongst the service team?

[quote] Anyone who pays “over $300” for a haircut... should just wear a giant, scarlet “Sucker” on their forehead.

Who said over $300 for a haircut? Over $300 for a salon visit. Single process, highlights, cut, blow out.

[quote]You get in what you put out.

And I'll bet you really put out.

[quote]I bet you use BOGO coupons on dates.

Can you use them to GET dates? Does RentMen have Groupons?

[quote]I was lucky enough this weekend to have a good friend see me silently sink into self despair. Without hesitation he simply walked up and said, “Jake get out of your head and be present.” That moment was the gentle push I needed to transition

How does he always have these friends that can detect these things and say the exact right thing to pull him up? Last time it was a friend saying words of encouragement and then saying, “No, Jake, that’s what friends are for.”

Back in the late 90's I was working for a high end furniture store. I had a customer that has just purchased a condo and I was working with them to furnish it top to bottom...window treatments, furniture, custom bedding, the whole nine yards. I think they spent around 100k with me. I wrapped up the project around Christmas time and they gave me a Christmas card with a check for 6k as a tip. I was blown away, in no way was I expecting it, the commission on the job alone was substantial, and I was excited for the bump in income. I attempted to return the check and they insisted I keep it. I'll always remember their generosity. I try and be generous in as many ways as I can. I'm not in the position to tip in any huge way, but a couple of bucks here and there can make a difference in someones day to day life.

They used to do that envelope thing at the Vidal Sassoon. I think it all went to the stylist.

By the way, a stylist in a major market can make a huge amount. My step mother told me her stylist was making 250k per year before he died of an od. And that was in Coral Gables.

And OP wonders why she's still single.

OP, if you got your balls waxed would you leave a tip?

Hopefully the tip stayed attached.

[quote] Why do waiters get tips but gas station attendants don’t?

Bitch, when was the last time you saw a full service gas station? In 1989?

R98 In the United States, gas jockeys were often tipped for their services, but this is now rare as full-service stations are uncommon except in the states New Jersey and Oregon (counties with more than 40,000 residents), and the town of Huntington, New York, where retail customers are prohibited by law from pumping their own gas.

Waiters and hair people are expected to be tipped by the tax authorities in terms of having tip income taxed, I believe; stiffing them is a minus I always thought.

My mom from NJ is now in FL and goes to a full serve station there where she tips. The place does repairs as well, and surprise - her car somehow jumps to the front of the queue when she has had issues!

I tip the stylists at Great Clips. Is that odd somehow?

When I went to Great Clips I tipped as well, except for the last one - the experience that convinced me not to go back.

[quote]Waiters and hair people are expected to be tipped by the tax authorities in terms of having tip income taxed, I believe; stiffing them is a minus I always thought.

If you tip with a credit card, there's more likelihood that they'll report the income when they file their taxes.

Everyone knows Americans tip, it’s what we do. Man only cheapskate losers don’t.

Last month in Mexico City I was asked if I wanted to tip upon checking out from the bathhouse. You can buy drinks there and pay at the end of your stay, like in Europe, but they don’t ask for tips in Europe. I noticed they didn’t ask the Mexican patrons.

Anyway, I tipped $5 like OP should have tipped. Got into a hot four way, including a nice thruple penetration that I will remember until the day I day.

I felt for the older gentleman cleaning the rooms because man it did look like a fucking orgy in there.

Anyway, those hot young studs who gave me that night to remember also reminded me karma has its way of finding you.

OP will be reminded of the same.

"So if you do three men’s haircuts in an hour with a $5 tip on each, they are only making $25 an hour."

That's twice what I make an hour ($13.00). Haircuts for men here are $14.00. I get my hair cut about every month and 1/2.

I think I'll look into the Flowbee thing mentioned upthread. GC always does a shitty job, and the stylists have all been replaced by the time I'm ready for a cut again.

Chains and salons take credit cards. However, actual barber shops often do not.

OP is full of shit and probably hasn't actually been to a Great Clips. They badger you for your full name and phone number the second you walk in the door, anonymous would never be the first word I used to describe a Great Clips.

With the tip money I once threw away for shitty haircuts, I bought a Flowbee.

You people with Flowbees must be some real lookers.

I've tipped at every place I ever got a haircut.

The cut is only ever $15 at a chop shop like Great Clips. At least give them the other $5 in a 20, you cheap whore!

[quote] I think I'll look into the Flowbee thing mentioned upthread. GC always does a shitty job, and the stylists have all been replaced by the time I'm ready for a cut again.

Flowbees are for extreme cheapskates who want to look like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.

Find a good barber if you have basic cut needs and it will be inexpensive, plus you can go to the same person every time.

OP I hope you get hit by a car. You must be so fucking ugly that I don’t know why you would even bother being a low down, no good, dirty filthy queer.

Just hand your queer card in loser.

OP what if you get cancer you fucking skank? If you lose all your hair and it grows back, if we’re unlucky enough to have you survive, you’ll be so grateful to be able to tip someone for cutting your shitty hair.

Fuck you OP. You’re an ugly asshole.

I hope someone walks up and punches you in the face.

“Flowbees are for extreme cheapskates who want to look like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.”

^^ utter idiot
