Here’s exactly how much you should tip when at the hairdressers

After getting a cut and colour treatment at your hairdressers, the next obvious step is to pay and tip them, but women often panic about how much of a tip they should give.

And WHO should they tip? The woman that washed your hair or the stylist that cut your do'?

To clear things up once and for all, InStyle asked pro hairstylists to tell us all about the intricacies of tipping at the salon, and exactly who should get one.

For starters, 20 percent of the price of any service is considered pretty standard as far as how much to tip your stylist, but you should also remember to include all of the people involved in the process.

"All the assistants are there in training to be stylists, and at many places, a lot are working at minimum wage, so anywhere from €2 to €5 is perfect," said top stylist Eva Michelle.

And what if the stylist giving you your cut and colour is the owner of the salon? 

"It's definitely not expected, but it's appreciated, and we're always grateful."

"Taking myself as a salon owner out of this, if I go somewhere and I have a really good service I'm satisfied with, I want to tip the person and let them know they're appreciated." 

But what about if you get your hair done on a discounted price or promotion?

"That's another tricky one, but with promotions and discounts, the goal is to get them to come back for other services, so it's okay if you don't get the full tip. That's part of the deal."
