I gave the woman a bit more than 20% and she looked disappointed.Chat Icon

what, what? she collects 100% of the fee and 20% tip and is STILL unappreciative. Chat Icon yeah, that makes sense.

When my hairdresser does my hair at her house, she will not accept a tip.

I thought the whole point of them doing it at home was to just make the fee- not the tip

they are already making a ton more then they would at the salon

I prefer the salon experince- if I still was expected to tip

What?

As the "owner" you usually get NO TIP.

As a "worker" 20% is on the high side. It's usually 15-20% tip.

I love tips when I work outside my house.

At home, I don't expect a tip.

Me too.
I have tried on several occasions, and she always says, no, shes making 100 % of the profit on me, so no tip!

Maybe the "disappointed" look was really a "should I accept this tip?" look.
