How much to tip hairdresser?

Tip? NOWT!

I don't understand tips.

Charge the right amount, pay your staff well, provide a good service so that people will come back.

Where's the need for a tip in this scenario?

said superviser doesnt want to be ther, they've done their training and they wont be making a million in showing some snotty teenager the ropes

I didn't mean to refer to all supervisers as 'barking' just as I'm sure you didn't mean to call all teenagers 'snotty'-twas a figure of speech based on last time I went to hairdressers.

In the end the girl spent so long doing a fab job and really listening etc that gave her 4.50, all I had. She is prob on a shit wage and a tip for her doing a great job will prob make her feel a lot better and more confident.
I have been a waitress and to not get a tip after a lot of hassle really gets you down.
I do not agree with the principle of tipping in general but why it continues, am not going to refuse as know from expereince how much it can mean.

Have you been to a Booths yet? I'm sure they have a policy of only employing nosey old ladies. There is a friendly woman in Spar near work who tells me a different thing that 'management have done now' that she doesn't agree with every day. The same in small library branches. They literally do say things like 'Oooooooooooh I wouldn't have thought you'd want to read that'. Sometimes it's not friendly though, sometimes it's bloody annoying.

I have considered opening a grumpy uninterested shop where you can buy too much booze, thrush cream and nit lotion in peace and tranquility without a sympathetic glance and 'ooh, itchy int it down below?'

This sounds lovely... You're not in Ldn anymore is it, but where did you used to go? Can you recommend any place?

The toni and guy academy is on New Oxford St - it's always trainee time there.
