Question

I was wondering if there is a protocol to tip the hairdresser during a trial up-do session?

Answer 1

Since you are taking up her/his time I think you should if you're satisfied with the results.

Answer 2

I always tip at least 20%.  There's a rule about not tipping owner of the salon, but a lot of people still do, especially in suburban establishments.

Answer 3

no, i am a hairdresser. i no u shouldnt have to.

Answer 4

You don't have to tip them.  Its a trial updo, you are already paying a lot of money for that as well as the real thing.  Wait until AFTER your real updo (I'm assuming this is for a wedding?) and after the ceremony/reception if you want to give a tip and a thank you.

Answer 5

The hairdresser, even though it is a trial session is giving of his/her time and the Big Book of Etiquette says that tips for styling is 10% to 20% depending on the complexity of the style

Peace & Love :)

p.s.

In etiquette...when in regards to tipping always put yourself in the place of the person who is giving the service

Answer 6

Of course you should....and I always tip 20% ...
