whatever indeed. clipping and cutting are two entirely different things. one takes skill and training while the other requires a hand and a power outlet.
as for me, i just decided to grow my hair long. never have to worry about a bad haircut.
What I find interesting is that you don't cut your hair for the same reason I clip it all off. Too many bad hair cuts 😄
But back to tips

Should I tip the Fantastic Sam's and Great Clips girls? How much do they make anyways? I'm guessing that it is more than the 2.13 that servers make at restaurants.When is a tip necessary? When is what you pay good enough?
In my experience it's almost always appropriate to tip someone who performs a service. Not the cable guy or the machanic. Here's what I do:
Resturants -always, unless it's a fast food resturant
Hair -always, be it a $12 haircut or a $50 hair cut
Hotels -pretty much everyone except the person who checks you in. guy who gets your bags out of the car and hails cabs, the concierge, room service, etc
Taxi or limo drivers
Bartenders
Coat check personnel
And if they've performed their job with any measure of competence then I over tip.

Originally posted by Capt_FantasticI agree... not a cable guy, or plumber or any service guy.....I don't take taxi's, but if a friend gives me a ride, I might buy her a coffee latte.. 😄 ....not really bartenders....nah......though many times, I just say keep the change....Now with hair cuts with the extras, I usually give an extra $10.00.....That way, they know to do well, if not, then next time I try someone else.........they talk and know I'm a good tipper........they want my business... 😎
