Julyne's Beauty BlogWeigh In: I'm a Salon Owner & My Clients Don't TipI got an email today from a "frustrated salon owner" who recently opened a salon and is dismayed to find the regulars no longer tip based on the old assumption that one never tips the salon owner. I'm here to put the debate to rest: In this day and age, you're supposed to tip the salon owner if the salon owner cuts or colors your hair and did a good job. You would tip your stylist, so it should make no difference if your stylist happens to own the salon. You owe her or him a tip.
I'm hoping my readers can help "Frustrated." She wants to know how she can tactfully let her clients know that times have changed and it's acceptable to tip the owner for good services. I have no idea what she can do apart from framing my article on the matter and putting it up at her work station. So I figured I'd open the blog up to your comments. Weigh in below for advice to "Frustrated." I'll put the best ones on my article so others can follow your advice. Monday May 5, 2008 | comments (44) Display Latest Headlines | powered by WordPress |
