    Yep always tip the person who washes it and the person who cuts and dries it - providing you're happy with the service of course
    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

      I don't dye my hair (I just let the sun lighten it ) or perm it (naturally very straight) but I rely on a good cut to make the most of what I have.
      I love my current cut and have had many compliments about it, so it was well worth the money

      BTW Mr P pays more than me for his haircut and looks like a ginger scarecrow!
      I only recently started putting highlights in mine again so that bumps the cost up a bit. It's worth the money, not to mention the few hours in the salon with a couple of glasses of wine and a magazine... bliss!

        Always a plus!!

          No I don't tip, the person who cuts it owns the place, so they are hardly hard up.

          One thing I noticed when my hair was long and I'd go for a trim, I'd pay half what a woman would pay for the same service from the same person. Maybe it's because "a good cut form a competent sylist costs" (added value)
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            .. although if I had Carmen cut my hair and massage the shampoo in I don't know if I'd be ready to stand up in under an hour..

              Hmm sounds tempting, but I spent many of my formative years with pink/orange/white or blue hair that I'd probably demand some outlandish colour and forget that I'm not in my 20's anymore!
              I am a natural blonde - but over time its getting darker, I cant wait to start going grey, cos then my hair will get lighter again

                I never have it washed, I always go straight after getting out of the shower so don't see the point and so only tip at the end..

                If you have it washed, dried/cut, when do you tip the different people?

                    No

                    I like the band Elbow mostly, but if by that you mean 'am I effeminate?', i'd also say no but I am curious about whether an expensive haircut is worth it and how things work in those type of salons..

                      does this mean you'll slap my wrist?
