Every time I get my hair cut I get all embarrassed because I'm never sure whether to tip or not.


And when I do, I get all embarrassed about actually giving the tip, unless I can leave it at the desk.


And then I get embarrassed because I'm not sure whether I should also be tipping the person who washed my hair (where different).


I did ask my hairdresser about it once, and then we both got all embarrassed.


Just wondering what everybody else does. I stopped doing it, but now I'm embarrassed about that :))

Yes it is the proprietor but on the other hand he charges the same as the others.


Yes I do go back because he is brilliant.


On the other hand although the prices are reasonable for the area, it's a lot to pay when you are on a pension.


Also on the other hand, he cuts my fringe free between my main cuts. I have tried to pay in the past, but he wouldn't let me.


I stopped tipping when the prices went up a year or so back but now I feel I'm being mean, though he knows I'm not rolling in money (can probably tell by my threadbare clothes, anyway :)) )

I assume tipping is an appreciation of good work. I've no qualms about not tipping for a bad haircut. In fact, they would know by then that I wasn't happy. But then, I wouldn't go back anyway.


My girls had their haircut and I went to tip when I paid by card but was told they can't take tips on card. I was mortified as had no cash.


I always give them a fiver or so. Keeps the good will running a bit smoothly if you're regulars.


Ac couple of pounds is also fine. It's what you feel able to give and is not at all a fixed amount.

Not near here. Not sure it works like Prets free coffees though - you just wonder what their angle is :)


My best tipping was in Egypt - I tipped all the boys behind the bar (I never saw a girl working) every day and they always served me first and made little remarks about what other holidaymakers were mean. (they really really tried hard though)

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
