How much would you tip a hair stylist who spent 4 hours on your hair?

The whole process was a combination of 2 dye jobs and a cut. my hair is dark and i wanted to dye it hot pink/red for halloween (it looks amazing!) First she had to lift the color, and then rinse it, cut it, dry it, dye it, rinse again, and then finish the cut, and style. it took four hours. How big of a tip should you leave for a job like this?How much would you tip a hair stylist who spent 4 hours on your hair?
$5-$8How much would you tip a hair stylist who spent 4 hours on your hair?
i say 8-10 dolars
I didn't know they got tips.
uhh it depends on your hair bill. you should leave atleast 15-20%. i'd probably give a $20 tip.
Normally I do not tip . It is part of their service .
3 THINGS.


1) In general stylist gets 20%.


2)Consider how tired she must be after working her *** off and jumping through hoops to pull off exactly what you wanted. (Hard to find that)


3)You said it looked amazing.


Be generous. Enough to pay for a delicious lunch that she missed out on while doing your hair :-)


Plus $10 to $20,00 more easily.
20% sounds good
I think you should tip her at least a 10-20% of what you paid int eh beginning. Tipping hair service is just like tipping in a restaurant.
It depends on the total. I usually give mine 20% of the total cost. So if it cost 120.00 dollars you would tip 24 dollars.
10 dollar
For me, it depends on what it costs. I've had a similar treatment (color strip, multi-toned highlights and a cut) and paid $225, then I tipped an addition $25. Other times I leave a tip for the stylist ($15-20) and a smaller tip ($5 or so) for the person who washes my hair. It all depends on the situation.
i would tip 20 - 25% of the total bill or a minimum of $50.00. any process that takes four hours can only be done successfully by an artist with passion, creativity and education. if you are happy, reward your stylist.





if you are not happy, speak calmly and openly and ask your stylist to fix it. a true artist want the clieht to be happy.
Take it from a hair stylist, please please at least make it worth my wild. I would say we would be happy with 15 dollars more would be great but, please tip us something, so many don't. Thanks for asking.
me, lacking hair, am quite jealous!!! lol!! but consider the time/service/price overall plus the stylist's ';charm'; or lack thereof...is this person your regular stylist or are they a one time deal? whatever feels right/fair. once i went back to one who did a nice job %26amp; gave him a huckleberry ice cream cone (which he'd never had before) so that was a tip in itself. Do what you thinks right i suppose.
my sister has uber curly, frizzy hair. our beloved stylist spent about four hours (stayed after the mall closed) to finish cutting and straightening it. we gave her a $20 tip because we felt bad for making her stay so long.
50%
