Ladies - how much do you tip your hair stylist and all their assistants? Just got my hair cut and partial highlights and paid $215 for it, but in addition to my stylist there were 2 other assistants.. so after all of the tips I felt like it was a bit much.

20% for the service, they can figure it out

like

Owner I’ll do 15%
Everyone else I’ll do 20%

If the assistant just did hair washing or something simple, I’ll do $5 each. If more involved, then I’ll give the salon 20% to divide among themselves

Reading this made me realize that I’ve been getting totally ripped off for years now lol. My hair color is normally $500+ and when I pay it pops up with an option to tip assistant 1, assistant 2, stylist, etc etc - I’m a pushover and always just give everyone $10 and the stylist 20%, but I just realized that’s easily adding up to 30%+ overall. It’s not my choice or my problem that you pulled in 3 assistants to help, we should just tip 20% overall to the stylist and she should distribute it out as necessary.

20%

20% stylist, $10 assistants

20%

20-25%

if an assistant washes my hair, I tip them $10

Wow. Fortunately my stylist has no assistants and does all the work herself! Cut and color usually runs $150. Pacific Northwest.

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Thankfully my husband and I can rotate parental obligations so we can work, but I’m exhausted and it’s year end so extra busy.

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?
