Hi, wondering if anybody has any thoughts- I have hair appt this w-end- just cut and blow dry..cost usually about €60 I think..in Dublin...for almost a year now I've gone to the same hairdresser/stylist in a fairly large salon- so about 4 times this year I guess- I usually leave an extra €5 with the receptionist for the woman who cuts my hair- I've always felt a bit embarasssed to go looking for the girl who washed my hair...you often don't really see them...
So this being Christmas n' all.. should I up the tip to €10? or leave €5 for washer and €5 for cutter.....although I don't want to end up doing that every time really...or I am I being mean?..I'm usually happy with the cut so...

I got a few highlights, cut and blowdry in Peter Marks recently and it cost me 145 euro (ooch) I paid with Maestro and asked if they give cash back. The girl said no problem we can give you 10.00 cash back........... do they think I'm thick or what??? It's obvious the 10.00 was geared towards a tip. So I politely refrained from the cash back and left. I won't be going there again.

Did you ever think that maybe the girl was used to people asking for a small amount of cash back to use as a tip and just presumed that is what you meant when you asked. And maybe 10 is the minimum they can give as cash back.

(Tippers Beware)This is one thing that I want to say, I worked in one of the busiest well know commercial hair salons situated on a also well known busy street in city and after working there a few days I noticed that most customers were happy to leave a tip at Reception to be passed on to Jason, Tom Ann whoever did there hair as the salon was so busy to for looking for them! we used to have cash/coins being kept under the desk from these tips that after a while you didn't know what was for who, I was under the a Senior Receptionist/ Salon Coordinator and she would send me off every so ofter on silly errands, and after a day or 2 I noticed that every time I got back all the Tips had disappeared! a week later I thought it was a bit suspicious so when she tried to send me off again a min later I came back & seen her pocketing all the Tip money into her bag, she didn't see me and I never said anything as I got offered a better job the next day which I took. I do regret not saying anything now but now as a qualified Stylist I have been told that this is quite a common thing to happen especially in larger salons! it seems now that on less your get on with the Receptionist or pretend to be her Best Friend, it is the only way you would be lucky to see any tips people might have left there for you! So a little warning if you want to tip your stylist etc the only way they usually see these tips is if you directly hand them to them!
