How much do you tip a hair stylist for a $200 service?

# Hair Stylist Tipping Guide

For a $200 hair service, a standard tip is $40-$60 (20-30%), depending on your satisfaction with the work and your budget.

Tipping breakdown: - 20% ($40) - Good service, standard expectation - 25% ($50) - Very good service and results - 30% ($60) - Exceptional service, went above and beyond

A few tips to consider: - If your stylist nailed your vision and you're very happy, 25-30% is generous and appreciated - 20% is perfectly acceptable and respectful - Tip less (15%) only if service was subpar - Some salons add gratuity automatically, so check your receipt first

Most salons accept cash tips (which stylists may prefer) or you can add it to your card payment. If you're unsure, asking the stylist what feels right is never awkward!
