Forgot to tip hairdresser???

Question

Yesterday I got my hair permed which cost $85 but I was in a rush to get somewhere else after the appointment that I forgot to tip the hairdresser. I live an hour away. Should I mail her a tip? If so, how much?

Answer 1

Here's a golden opportunity to not only mail the tip--yes, $15 is quite appropriate, but also a thank you card apologizing for the oversight.

Answer 2

What a late realisation! Why not wait to double the tip next time!

Answer 3

I would just rush in and say, "Wow, I forgot this." Your hairdresser will be pleased and give you more consideration on your next time in.

Answer 4

Wait until your next appointment, and give her the forgotten tip along with that days tip. You could even go a little far and call her. You could then say, "Hi, this is _____, I forgot to tip you yesterday, and I'm so sorry! I will make up for it next appointment, okay? Thanks bye!"

Don't beat yourself up over it though. Things happen!

Hope I helped!

Answer 5

yes, $15.

Answer 6

Absolutely.  Send it in a card, with apology.  The normal amount...about $15 - $20.

Answer 7

Wait until you next visit. Apologize and include the forgotten tip when you settle up for the current visit.

It happens - don't beat yourself up over it! :-)
