Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant! Recently, one of my curious friends asked me about tipping their hairdresser during the holiday season. It’s such a great question, and honestly, it’s something a lot of people wonder about but aren’t always sure how to handle. So, I’ve put together this guide to help you figure out how much to tip your hairdresser during the holidays and why it’s such an important gesture. Let’s dive in!

Tipping during the holidays is a way to show appreciation for the people who make our lives a little brighter throughout the year. Your hairdresser is definitely one of those people! Whether they’ve been giving you the perfect haircut, keeping your color on point, or just being a great listener during your appointments, the holidays are the perfect time to say “thank you” with a little extra generosity. But how much is appropriate? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

How Much Should You Tip Your Hairdresser for the Holidays?

The general rule of thumb is to tip your hairdresser the cost of one session during the holidays. So, if you usually pay $100 for a cut and color, a $100 tip is a great way to show your appreciation. But if that feels like too much for your budget, don’t stress! A tip equal to 20-25% of your regular service cost is also a thoughtful and widely accepted amount. For example, if your usual visit costs $80, a $16-$20 holiday tip is a kind and generous gesture.

If you’re a regular client and have built a strong relationship with your hairdresser, you might want to go above and beyond. Some people even double their usual tip during the holidays. It’s all about what feels right for you and your budget. Remember, it’s the thought that counts, and your hairdresser will appreciate any effort you make to show your gratitude.

Questions Related to Holiday Tipping for Your Hairdresser

One common question is whether you should tip the salon owner. Traditionally, tipping the owner isn’t required since they set their own prices, but if they’re the one doing your hair, a holiday tip is still a nice gesture. Another question is whether you should tip in cash or with a gift. Cash is always a safe bet because it allows your hairdresser to use it however they need, but a small gift (like a gift card or something personal) can also be a lovely touch. Just make sure it’s something thoughtful!

Some people also wonder if they should tip other salon staff, like shampooers or assistants. If these individuals help you during your visit, a small tip for them is a kind way to spread the holiday cheer. Even $5-$10 can make a big difference and show that you value their hard work.

To sum it up, tipping your hairdresser during the holidays is a meaningful way to show your appreciation for their skill and dedication. Whether you go with the cost of one session, a percentage of your usual service, or a heartfelt gift, your hairdresser will undoubtedly feel valued and appreciated.
