all haircutters are to be tipped, even if the haircut is quick, considered easy, or if it's a men's cut. that's the way that industry works, people; don't be cheap !

tune in tomorrow.

I shave my own head... should I tip myself? Maybe with a bit of the old "Red McGregor"...

I was just thinking about this very subject while reading an article in the NY Post about where you can get your haircut for under $100. I can't imagine spending $100 on a haircut, much less tipping them 15-$20 for it. I prefer Supercuts. Gimme my $12 trim, and I'll give you your 3-$4 tip.

the best haircut i ever had was also the most expensive and the only time i ever spent that much money on a haircut. it was a $100 haircut, and i had it done at vidal sassoon in new york. curly hair is very hard to cut, and i was hoping someone could fix what wrong had been done to my hair .

i made the terrible mistake of going to the vidal sassoon ACADEMY once, thinking that those people'd be learning from the best. boy, did that girl have a LOT to learn .

now a friend of a friend, who's an actual haircutter professionally, cuts my hair. she's great at cutting curly hair (really, it's very hard to do well, judging by all the times i've gotten shitty haircuts) and charges me $30 instead of $40 'cause i'm a friend of a friend. i tip her $10; it's the least i can do, since she cut down the price by $10.
