LET'S SEE HOW MANY OF YOU CAN BE HONEST.....

I think tipping is based on an understanding of the profession AND personality.

I will admit, I used to tip 15-20% before I knew what went into waiting. These days its between 20 and 35%. If you cant "afford" to tip well: skip the diet coke and put that $2 towards tips. You make a healthy choice and helped someone pay the bills.

Haircuts are EXPENSIVE. 15 bucks for a mediocre haircut (shave with a #2 + neck shave) is a lot for something that requires no skill (I do it myself these days).
Here's the best part about haircuts - they screw it up...wth! They leave fuzzies all over the place, and I have to go home and clean it up.

I ordered a shake for 2.50 at Chick fil A once and left the rest as tip - her reaction pretty much made my day

OK WOW something that requires no skill? Granted a shaved head isn't hard...but I have had people come into my shop that have attempted that and screwed it up and ask me to fix it. I love when people thinking cutting hair isn't hard or requires "no skill" and then they attempt it themselves and screw up just to come in and have someone fix it.

The no skill thing was only for MY haircut (#2 buzz). If they cant get that right.... ugh.

Its not even about the price - just bang for buck. I'll gladly pay 40 bucks for a haircut that I think is worthwhile.

So what is you got a shitty haircut but the lady was nice as can be and she was trying her best? for instance someone that just started?

I believe people make their own tips. Granted I havent always been a ray of sunshine but it reflects in my tips... but then again ive had rays of sunshine coming out my ass and some people just dont care. So basically you never know what to expect.....I have a kid that comes in and and I do the exact same haircut on him that you do (2 all over) and because I sit there and talk to him and make convo and have even taken him when we are closing...he tipped me 20bux....cause he appreciated my effort and service. Its all too each his own. I just know how things go and I am guilty of tipping too much as well...mainly cause I believe in karma and hope that good fortune comes back on me.
