What kind of customer are you - haircut version

[huKSer]

I go to a barber that owns his own shop - I don't tip. If he needs more money, he should raise his prices.

 

Great cuts - generally not either - I am cheap.

 

Might be a guy hair thing? My mother in law goes to a lady who owns her own shop and still gives a tip.

[The Dude]

The lady who cuts my hair usually gets the tip, and then some.

I like to get my hair faded, so it's hard to find a barber that can cut my hair well. I found a guy that can do very good fades, so I usually tip him when I have the extra cash. If I just go to some chain place and get a crappy cut, I'm not gonna tip, though.

Tip the barber if you're a regular. My guy says good tippers are why he can keep his prices in check.

Sports clips always has coupons for their triple play haircut and it f'ing RULES, you get haircut, steam towel and a scalp massage for like 13 bucks with the coupon.

[sd'sker]

one hundred dollar bill, every time.

[Scratchtown]

I tip. I usually only give a dollar here in GI but in Kearney when I went to "Replays" I always gave 2 bucks. I loved the steam towel, shampoo and massage.

The only barber I go to won't even accept a tip if I give him one. But even though he's dirt cheap I still cut my own hair 90% of the time because I'm married and don't give a rat's ass how I look anymore.

 

Any place where I'd be expected to give a tip is out of the question for me.

100%. Kojak style. The last barber shop trip was 20 years ago.

[StPaulHusker]

I always tip my barber. I especially tip the people that cut my twin toddlers hair because that takes a lot of patience.

[ColoradoHusk]

Did anyone on this board ever get their haircut at The Captain's Chair in downtown Lincoln. Man, I loved that place. They were great barbers, and their prices were reasonable.

 

They would have magazines that you could read before/during your haircut, and they included Playboy. A friend of mine and I would always joke about being too shy/embarrassed to read a Playboy while getting our hair cut.

[GSG]

I bought a $20 set of clippers a few years ago and haven't paid for a haircut since

[NUance]

I tip $3 or $4 bucks, sometimes $5. On a SuperCuts haircut that costs around $16 or so.

This would be the case for me as well, but my barber has Playboys to look at so since I'm a horney bugger I like to have him cut my hair a few times a year.
