Hairdresser Tipping Guidelines
Best practices for tipping hair stylists and salon staff.
Haircut: 15–20%
A standard haircut at a salon typically warrants a 15–20% tip. If your stylist did an exceptional job, especially with a consultation or styling, the higher end is appropriate.
Color & Chemical Services: 20%+
Color, highlights, balayage, and perms take significantly longer and require precise technical skill. A 20% tip at minimum reflects the level of expertise involved.
Tip on Full Price
If you used a discount, coupon, or Groupon, tip based on the original full-price service, not the discounted rate. Your stylist invested the same time and effort regardless.
