I have a question, dear LJ friends

i usually tip about half (or a little less) of what the haircut should cost. my stylist used to do my hair for free, and at $60 a cut, i'd tip her about $25.

Thanks! That's helpful -- I've been struggling with this issue for a few days. :(

I think that sounds about right. You can afford to be generous, because you're saving money.

If she'll accept it...

[femmerin]

Yeah, and I tip well anyway, so my haircut total would normally be, like, 50+ dollars... so giving her 20-25 still saves me money AND she gets to keep it herself, rather than giving it to the salon.

Hopefully it will be win-win.

I go for payment in kind these days, handy the shop is sometimes! Apart from that, I have no idea, I'm rubbish at these things!

Ha! You're very lucky you can do that -- it would make life so much easier!
