How much to tip at a hair salon?

There are no set rules for tipping but if you are happy with your haircut a tip of 15% to 20% is acceptable. Tip your stylist in cash, rather than paying with a credit card, to be sure the tip goes directly to your stylist. If your stylist is also the owner of the salon, leaving a smaller or no tip is acceptable since they set the prices and earn the profits from your style.

Do hair salons charge tax?

In some areas, hair salons are exempt from sales tax. In other areas, they are subject to tax which is charged as a percentage of the total cost of the service and added to the final bill. When budgeting for your hair services, don't forget to ask the salon whether tax is being added to the cost of your service.

How to choose a hair salon?

Choosing a hair salon is a very personal decision. Asking friends and family for referrals is a great idea, especially if you love their hair.
