Usually, it's more than one person who is serving you, but their assistants as well.Trans says that you should tip the person who washes your hair.My assistants work very hard to keep my day running smoothly and help the client have a good experience at the salon.It could be anywhere from $10 to $40.

Monzon says that the assistants are training to become better and more knowledgeable.They are living on the tips that they are making.When someone knows how to wash your hair and keep you dry, that is when you can decide how much it is worth.Many clients think of the salon experience as the best part of it.

Should a client still tip if they decide to come back to the salon to get a new haircut or color?Stenson believes that tipping is a personal preference based on the circumstances.It is always appreciated but not expected.

Monzon said, "If a client wants to change their long hair to a more modern length and then decides two days later they don't like it, I think expecting any sort of compensation or refunds would be completely inappropriate."If they return to fix or modify a haircut and the outcome is positive, I think the tip is at the client's discretion.
