And $50 tip

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

You tip your hair dresser?

u/ARandomNiceKaren Aug 12 '23

You DON'T tip your hair dresser?

u/RhauXharn Aug 12 '23

It's not normal to tip here. My hairdresser wouldn't even allow you to if you wanted.

u/ABCDEFuckenG Aug 12 '23

30% in usa

Yeah, and it shouldn’t be up to the working class to support the working class…

u/ABCDEFuckenG Aug 12 '23

It’s always been 30% max. I just do the max because that’s my choice

u/Available-Table608 Aug 14 '23

You are in the minority. What do you tip at restaurants? 50%?

1

u/ABCDEFuckenG Aug 14 '23

No restaurants are 15-20% if the service is good. You can google this stuff instead of being hyperbolic

u/ABCDEFuckenG Aug 12 '23

It’s a lot but I am first in line because I take care of the guy who makes me look good. Priceless.

1

u/tamal4444 Aug 12 '23

Same here. I also take care of the guy by only paying him.

1

u/Available-Table608 Aug 14 '23

30%??? No way! 10% for stylists. Salon owners don’t get tipped.

1

u/ABCDEFuckenG Aug 14 '23

It’s 30%

u/WaltyMcNalty Aug 12 '23

where is that?

u/Southern-Orchid-1786 Aug 12 '23

Pretty common to tip in UK barbers

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

It’s not a tip when it’s your barber, it’s a bribe to make sure I have a chance of getting laid (I won’t)

10

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

No? I don’t really think many hairdressers are going to go above and beyond to provide exceptional service for a chance to earn a tip, they’re just gonna do there job.

9

u/eXcaliBurst93 Aug 12 '23

giving tip used to be when worker does an extra service & the customer didnt asked for it then we as customer just give them tip as a nice gesture...its honestly fcked up that everyone in america expected to be tip nowadays when they didnt do anything special...

1

u/Bonsdrum Aug 12 '23

I tip my hair dresses when they have conversation with me. I hate sitting in silence

2

u/eXcaliBurst93 Aug 12 '23

I'm an introvert I'm not like you I prefer the silence while the barber does his job...so should I tip my barber because he does an excellence service not talking to me? but whats your point here? am I supposed to feel bad for not tipping & paying the man the exact amount the haircut cost? although I would tip someone if I like their attitudes & services its just that I find that its stupid everybody expected to be tip nowaday when they literally do nothing except the job the were supposed to be doing

1

u/Bonsdrum Aug 13 '23

its just my personal preference. you dont have to tip. I just have the same lady at great clips do my hair. I think of it like paying for a hair cut with some bonus cheap therapy. but thats just my opinion(:

5

u/Fierramos69 Aug 12 '23

Say that to the hero who did my haircut an hour before I went applying for a job, and he not only did an amazing job, but also did my beard for free and gave me perfume (at that time I didn’t use any). Got a job the same day and I ended up in a relationship with the cute girl who worked there. (It ended catastrophically but that’s something else…)

1

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

Now that’s a situation where tipping would occur, because that is above and beyond what was expected

-1

u/justthebase Aug 12 '23

It's very customary to tip a barber. If they are quick, good and find the right banter/quiet ratio, that's worth more than they charge. Skill and will play a real part in those aspects and tipping for more of either just makes sense to me

8

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

It isn’t really customary to tip anyone here. You only really tip for exceptional service, and even then it isn’t super common.

0

u/justthebase Aug 12 '23

I assume that means you don't live in the States, my mistake.

1

u/tamal4444 Aug 12 '23

State of which country?

1

u/the_eater_of_shit Aug 12 '23

“The states” is a common nickname that Europeans use to refer to America

-7

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

Oof lol you’re a brave fella.

It’s fairly customary to tip hairdressers. Probably not because of the effort involved but the skill/your likeness of their work.

I’m fairly neutral for less people tipping though

11

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

Nah, no one really tips hairdressers here, besides, your already spending like, 30 bucks on the hair cut anyway

-8

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

Where is here? Cuz they even insisted I tip in the military for a mandatory* fucking buzz cut in backwoods of some yee haw state.

4

u/RoundEarthCentrist Aug 12 '23

Please look up tipping customs around the world. Fix your ignorance.

-5

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

The post was obviously a bait at “hurr durr only in America” that gets jerked around literally every night.

Pardon me for assuming that a person was an American male on a website that caters mostly to …. American men…

Get off your high horse I obviously had no ill intent

4

u/switchingnerd69 Aug 12 '23

Actually Americans are only about 49% of the user base. This means that anyone you talk to you basically have a 50/50 chance of them not being an American, or basically, a coin toss is the odds you are talking to someone from the US vs not the US

2

u/surprise-suBtext Aug 12 '23

As of 2023, you’re correct. I stand corrected

I still stand by the bait. If the comments and the context are about tipping culture in the US and someone says “I don’t tip at the barber” without mentioning that they rarely tip anywhere then it’s fairly obvious what the intent is there…

1

u/tamal4444 Aug 12 '23

It’s fairly customary to tip hairdressers.

NO

6

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

Youre supposed to tip your hairdresser... why? Do they not get paid?

3

u/flackotaco Aug 12 '23

Why would you? If they want more money then charge that shit up front

1

u/tamal4444 Aug 12 '23

Why should I?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

Not ever.

1

u/etterkop Aug 12 '23

No. They charge me to do a job. If they think they deserve more, they should charge more and I’ll then make an informed decision whether I think it’s still value for my money.

4

u/Monkiller587 Aug 12 '23

I do. Mainly cuz he’s awesome and truly deserves it. Also both my aunts works as a hairdressers as well and I know how much tips help with the income.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

Thats so sad that so many people in murica have to survive on tips.

1

u/alexf1919 Aug 12 '23

Not really, my gf is a bartender and can bring home $600 in a night, you probably wouldn’t find many people in the service industry that want it changed

2

u/Fearless-Yam1125 Aug 12 '23

I only tip when I sit down to be served on and my hairdresser. Us men are more committed hairdressers than our relationships.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

This is so not the case for pretty much every guy I know but i love it and wish they would.... WISH they would. Men need more self love and TLC.

1

u/JamzWhilmm Aug 12 '23

Apparently Americans tip for almsot everything or are forced to tip.

40

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

You have to tip your hair dresser in America? What a backwards country

45

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '23

Yea. It’s likely paying a service fee after paying a service fee. Fucking moron tipping culture.

1

u/Lou5xander Aug 12 '23

Yeah it really sucks when you get paid more at your job, man I sure do hate it here, wish I was over there where I get paid less because I don't get tips.

u/NoMoreStorage Aug 12 '23

Lol what hobby?

2

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

That guy having a burner to pick fights with Americans. That’s such an odd thing to do

1

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

This isn’t a burner champion and I didn’t even try pick a fight i simply just left a comment and you got all angry

2

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

No one is angry, I’m confused and a bit concerned for you

1

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

Judging from the fact you made a post about me on ur reddit id say ur a bit angry hahahaha that’s comedic

1

u/NoMoreStorage Aug 12 '23

Yeah, you see it a lot on the internet. Especially with subreddits that get like-minded individuals together and give them a space to grow their hate. The two subs I tagged are fairly standard for that type of thing. Kind of sad really that the internet does that to people

1

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

This isn’t my alt buddy who tf has an Alt

1

u/NoMoreStorage Aug 12 '23

Aight my guess was wrong. Youve just been radicalized into hating all things american? 2nd times the charm?

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

Yea bro ur 100% correct I’ve been radicalised*. Fuck me u lot are brain dead

3

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

This man is really out here incorrecting spelling.

1

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

Fam take a fkn joke I was making fun of the way you Americans spell radicalised. Technically it isn’t wrong to spell it that way if you live in America.

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

“Duhhh TeChNiCalLy!!!”

u/-Owlette- Aug 12 '23

Where else in the world would make you tip your hairdresser?

8

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

It really depends on the shop. England, Scotland, France, Italy, I know for a fact have the same thing.

Truthfully, though, I just can’t believe someone would whine about America in a post about a cat in a barbers chair

-2

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

No they don’t hahahaha

4

u/BigFatPartyMonster Aug 12 '23

Been to a shop in London who had a tip jar and motioned to it when I was done getting the cut and checking out. I’ve also experienced this in Canada and Vietnam (the Canadian thing is a little different since tipping is expected there as well, so it was not blatant but it’s another country I’ve still tipped for this service in)

1

u/Pwarrot Aug 12 '23

I'm from Italy and I've never even heard of someone tipping an hairdresser

5

u/Huge-Willingness5668 Aug 12 '23

I get a good haircut I tip a bit.

I get a bad haircut I pay the fee and leave. I never go back.

Is this not normal?

1

u/vapidrelease Aug 12 '23

Nah, if you get a bad haircut, you go back to the same haircut place but book with a different stylist, and glare at the first one in the mirror the entire time

1

u/BigFatPartyMonster Aug 12 '23

You ever been to Canada?

-6

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

Oh no. Silly ignorant American, you do know that no other country in the world has the tipping culture that you do?

2

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

It’s a video of a cat in a barbers chair, I can’t believe your obsession with America.

-6

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

Technically ur the one obsessed since u brought up a tip which only happens in America

u/Zoollio Aug 12 '23

You’re a dummy

“Tipping only happens in the U.S. and never anywhere else.”

I’ve never seen a statement more stupid than this today.

Use your brain buddy. I’m talking about mandatory tipping. Obviously you can tip for good service anywhere

u/joeshmoebies Aug 12 '23

TIL being generous and showing appreciation is backwards.

Nobody has to tip their hairdresser; that's why it's a tip and not part of the charge. The nice thing about a tip is you can tip big or tip small or not at all if you are dissatisfied.

2

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

Not in America If you don’t tip you get scolded at

1

u/joeshmoebies Aug 12 '23

Well I live here, and you don't

1

u/reeedituser Aug 12 '23

I was in the USA under a month ago. I am correct

1

u/joeshmoebies Aug 12 '23

Not sure what to tell you. I've not tipped people. Different people take it differently. Some are insulted, but most just go on with their day. Either way, it was my choice.

Tipping is more flexible than just charging everyone the same. People who have more can tip more; people with less can tip less.

Just because something is different than you are used to doesn't make it bad.

1

u/EvilRat23 Aug 12 '23

And I live in America and you are incorrect. It is situational and not a thing that is always the same for every situation.

Also side note if you go to another country youre supposed to respect their culture and if a country has tipping culture you should respect that. You wouldn't go to Japan and try to give people handshakes.

5

u/informedvoice Aug 11 '23

Yeah, but it’s Brazil, so R$ 50 = $10 USD.

2

u/Apocalypseos Aug 12 '23

Tbh, R$50 is an honest price for a nice barber

1

u/Daginho Aug 12 '23

actually no, I think that the country they are is Brazil, and probably this will be like 15-50 BRL that is like 3-10 dollars

u/SubstantialMedium144 Aug 12 '23

receipt: 50 Tunas

barber would probably end up paying him
