i need to get a dentist let alone tip them!
|
last time i had a haircut was about nine months ago.. i wanted something i couldn't do myself and payed 50 euros for it (the price differences between men's and women's haircuts are ridiculous)
i have only cut my own hair since, i have curls so you don't see it when the layers aren't perfect. |
Mine are basically free, as one of my best friends is a stylist.

it is customary here in usa to tip your hairdresser, especially if she/he did an outstanding job.
the only people I do NOT tip are the fuckers making me a coffee at a coffee shop. I pay $4.00 to have someone make me a coffee. they do not bring it to y table, they do not take my order at my table. I have to stand in line like at mcdonalds. I do not tip at mcdonalds. i will not tip at starbucks or any coffe ehouse. fuck them. they do not get paid waietr salaries (around $2.15 an hour) and do not rely on tips to make their living like waitresses and waiters do in usa. |

tipping is reserved for those who "serve" you and earn wages of misery. for some tipping is a way to assert their superiority; for others it's a sort of working class solidarity. i can tell you that working for 2 months as a waiter made me a bigger tipper, because i understand what shit people have to put up with in order to make their money. in that sense countries with a fixed service charge, like france, give the professional waiters a greater dignity than their american counterparts. and hair people in hair salons would make shit money if it weren't for the tips. it's sort of a free enterprise method that bonds them to your service in exchange for a higher reward. like doggie treats. am i awake yet? |
I have a friend cut my hair, but the quality has been going downhill.....
I haven't been to an actual establishment to cut my hair in years, but I think it's about time I start doing it. I don't even know how to talk to a barber/hairdresser/whatever to make sure they make me look sexy. And I'll have to find one in a few months when I go off to college anyway. |

Nobody tips anybody here. I've never tipped anybody in my life and I don't know anybody who has. It does seem customary in the US flicks though. I always found that weird. |
look at my hair and you tell me.
|
cantank paid about $8.00 for hair bleach!

Hey, I've seen your hair, deadman. A kangaroo couldn't do a worse job. |
you're so perceptive rob.
it was manic panic flashlightning. |
I used to get my hair cut at the Great Clips or Super Cuts or whatevertheheck that place is called, but about a year ago they fucked up REAL BAD and I haven't been back since.
I prefer this local place called the Fetish, which is all trendy and whatnot with this super-good looking guy that does a damn good job. He shampoos, cuts, styles, etc. With my student discount I pay about $30, plus tip. Damned worth it. |

yeah, I found this out a few weeks ago...trying to tip a cute waitress at a japanese place, and then i got a strange look and a 'what are you doing' from the australian i was with....i think its because the wages here in australia are so much better than in the US... |

you should have offered A LOT MORE, and who knows! |
i ended up not tipping, since its kinda strange to do so down here...i think anything extra can be viewed as an invitation to 'who knows'...but i don't need to pay for that...

I miss my long hair.
|
I tip 20% at restaurants, unless 20% is more than $5 per person. So, if I spend $150 at The Melting Pot w/ 2 people, I tip $10. If I spend $25 by myself at a real restaurant, I tip $5.

$16
