View Full Version : How much should you tip for a $20 haircut?

So I’m getting a haircut yesterday and my barber starts talking about how she’s cutting hair at a second location cause she needs to make more money, and that she’s charging $50 for a cut cause that’s what the place lists their haircuts for. And then she starts bragging about how she still gets tipped like $20 giving her a total of $70 per cut, and here I’m sitting in her chair where she charges $20 and I’ve always tipped her like 5 dollars and she’s never complained. But now I’m wondering if she was giving me hints about trying to get more tip out of me by telling me about her other location. What’s an appropriate tip for a 20 dollar cut?

A $20 cut is trashy AF. Do you not care what you look like? I can't remember the last time I paid less than $80 for a cut+ tip.

Where do you even find a $20 cut? Is that some shit chain salon where some wrecked meth head is giving cuts? "Supercuts" or something like that?

That's where I used to go. Now I pay $55 for cut and groom, $25 tip. And that's not even high end, you can get $100 cut.

I just looked up Supercuts, cheapest place I know of in NYC, their cheapest cut is $28.

You can absolutely get a haircut for less than $25 in Manhattan and from a non-chain at that. Might be semi hard to find these places but they do exist.

If you pay $55 for a haircut you are a dumbass and if you pay $25 in tip on top of that you are one goofy son of a bitch. (or a woman)

Paying 1950s prices makes you the dumb ass. I'm just not broke.

$55 for a cut ain't shit, that was me being cheap TBH. My girls cuts are $400. I blew $1000+ at the craps table over New Years and didn't lose a second of sleep.

I'm not even one to talk big in here either. I never do. It's all of you who talk big about your salaries and cars. But really is all talk.

Most people get their hair cut at chains like super cuts or great clips and it's just a bunch of regular old women in there. Kind of wierd you wou⁰ld describe it like that.

Especially for a guy getting a simple buzz and trim that takes 10-15 minutes why would anyone pay 80 bucks?

You must be some type of diva to call that "trashy".

Exactly "old women" is a shit sign from the get go. You want YOUNG women who actually know what is trending and were properly trained. Not 70 year old Irene.

And what about a proper shave/groom?

I'm sorry but those places are the fast food of haircuts. Even if you are just taking clippers to your head you can get done up right, but honestly the only people that should be doing that are older balding men. If you have actual hair on your head you should style it in some way, even if it is short spike of some sort.

$20 cuts in 2025? Didn’t know those still exist. Story sounds made up for discussion purposes even if it’s to argue about the topic or off topic. Generally speaking there is nothing wrong with a $20 haircut. The cost doesn’t dictate how good or bad it is. You can pay for a $50 haircut and it be average at best. No barber can pay bills, rent etc giving $20 cuts with a $5 tip. This ain’t the 90’s.

And the fact your barber is a chick? So $20 cuts from a female barber. Got it…

Honestly, that's just how construction workers look, they just don't do any useless workouts like curls that don't really help functional strength and are mostly just there for looks. Probably harder to adhere to a fasting schedule too, if you have to have a good breakfast before a full day of physical labor and you're probably starving after that, vs a ripped gymgoer who really just goes hard for an hour, hour and a half.

:biggums:

Older as in like 50s... and they have great experience. Nothing wrong with that.

The most popular hairstyle today has been out for over 100 years since the 1920s. I think they were wearing it out in the wild west in the 1800s too.

Shaved close on the sides and back, blend in with the top trimmed and combed over the side. The Guido cut every yuppie and frat bro gets.

There aren't any crazy "new" styles a younger barber would know about. They've all been around forever.

I hope they give you a manny and petty with that cut for that price. :lol

Why is Off the Court using my avatar. In many ways, that's worse than Axe and RRR3. I mean, Axe is smarter and seems to like girls. Then again, RRR3 is into trannies.

Also, Patrick Chewing seems to be paying $20 for the exact same haircut that others are spending $70 for. Yet for some reason, in Off the Court's logic, the $20 is trashy, while the $70 is not.

Off the Court going to the Salon reminds me of the time that Al Bundy and his friends went to the Salon.

Bougie bitch. If I just want a haircut, I just want a cut. Go into any Dominican barber shop and they give you that quick fade for cheap. You want to spend money uselessly as if that makes any difference. It’s hair and scissors or hair and a clipper either way.

Somehow you found something even lower than Supercuts.

Look I don't even feel like calling you out on this anymore. Just go into one and try it. Cuts aren't all the same. Just like food isn't all the same. There is cheap food, and nice food. Or ANY business for that matter. You can buy cheap clothes or nice threads. You can take your car to a cheap mechanic, or pay a little more at the dealership and have it done right.

It's more than a cut anyway, you'll have some young lady massage the stress straight out of your scalp. Quiet atmosphere where you get pampered and treated right. Just try it out, if you don't like it, no harm.
