Do you always tip a barber?
Mike
tips her hairdresser. What about barbers? I never see any other guys
tipping my barber when I'm there for a haircut. So I guess I never
thought about it either way.
Is it customary to tip a barber with each haircut? Or would it have
been better to give him ten or twenty dollars at Christmas time?
One big difference is that my barber owns the barber shop, while the
hairdressers at my friend's beauty shop are NOT the owners of the
place but are just employees who work there doing people's hair.

Traditionally, owners aren't tipped (though at least
some owners would have you believe that's changing ;-)
Otherwise, most barbers I know who are not owners are tipped.
Perhaps you have a traditional barber-owner.
Best wishes,

I always tip 15-20%.
The question I have is: where the heck can you get a haircut for only $9! =)

I went to a place where you could get a haircut for $14 and asked for a
trim on my straight, blunt-cut hair; they chopped a large rectangular
chunk out of one side so that my hair was bobbed next to my right ear but
long everywhere else.
Maybe if I'd gone to the 9-dollar place I'd have had better results.

They have to do that to insert the coaxial connector plate.

There's two places I get my haircut - one is a barber, the other is a
stylist (or whatever you call a woman who dyes, perms, waxes, etc in
addition to cutting hair). Both charge $9 ($10 on Saturday for the barber).
Both own their own shop. I typically give them a $10 bill and don't expect
change back. I figure that splits the difference between not tipping an
owner and giving them a little something extra for a job well done (they're
both very good and very friendly).

Wow, I haven't waxed my hair since I had a flattop.
