How much should you tip a hair stylist for a $300 service?

# Hair Stylist Tipping Guide

For a $300 hair service, a standard tip is $60–$90 (20–30%). Most people aim for 20% as a baseline for good service, while 25–30% is appropriate if your stylist did exceptional work or went above and beyond.

Factors that might increase your tip: - Great results that exceed expectations - Extra time spent on consultation or corrections - Exceptional customer service or friendly conversation - A new stylist you want to encourage

How to tip: Most salons accept tips via card (added to your bill), cash, or sometimes through their booking app. If you're unsure about the salon's preferences, just ask when you pay!

Remember, tipping is always optional and based on your satisfaction, but hairstylists typically depend on tips as a significant part of their income. If you're a regular client, your stylist will especially appreciate your generosity.
