Do you ever regret giving your hairdresser a tip??

Question

Do you ever regret giving your hairdresser a tip??

Answer 1

Yes, I did once, but only once.

I was getting a haircut at a nicer "Mall" salon.  It wasn't a great clips, but it wasn't Mario Tricoci or Avalon Day Spa.

So this girl is cutting my hair, she's probably 20, maybe.  And a boy comes in to tell her something quick.

She got so excited, she stopped cutting my hair and left me sitting there for like 2 mins!!!  While they were exchanging phone numbers or some (explitive) like that.

I was dumbfounded.  I couldn't even speak, I was so awestruck by the stupidity of this person.

The manager came over and finished my haircut, but she was distraught and upset.  

The actual haircut came out OK.  But I still tipped. Granted it was only $3.  I shouldn't have even paid for it.  I should have made a scene.

But I realized that the girl didn't deserve another modicum of thought, and it was easier to walk out and never look back.

:)

Now I only go to high end salons.  As a early 30's professional guy, it's nice to get quality service, and I'm willing to pay for it.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yup! I have a tendency to over-tip and then when i get home realize I the girl did a c**p job and didn't deserve anything more than 5 bucks!!!

Answer 9

YES!!!

I keep saying that I'll only give a partial tip the first day. Then, the next day when I try to see what it REALLY looks like, I'll decide if I should go back and give them the rest.  LOL  (I never do hold any back, though...I just tip generously and usually I'm happy with it)

I had a few cuts a few years ago that got me thinking that...then for the past few years, I've had a really good stylist...loved every one of my cuts.

Unfortunately, I just had a cut on Friday that made me think of that again (I moved).  It's really not a good cut...I honestly have to go to someone else to have it fixed...

Answer 10

Once when I got a really bad haircut, twice actually. Once I get a bad haircut I never go back again.

Since you give the tip AFTER services are rendered, and you've had a chance to look at your hair before you leave ... no.
