How do I know if my hair stylist is good? ›

Running a hairdressing business can be one of the hardest things to do by far. Understanding where the money goes, how much to charge, paying taxes, monitoring expenses, and finding enough to pay yourself is a full-time job even if you're no longer working behind the chair.

Master Stylist - L4

This stylist is a leader in the salon company, and their services are the most in demand. They book several weeks or more in advance, have the most hands-on experience and meet other benchmarks such as customer satisfaction and referrals from happy clients.

According to Consumer Reports, you should tip at least 15% of the service fee, even if the service wasn't the best. If you're debating whether to tip a smaller amount because you're not happy with your service, you can also consider speaking to the manager or owner first.

Remember the golden rule: "You should tip 20% on the entire service cost, not per individual," says Schweitzer. So if your haircut and blow-dry cost $40 total, and your color was $60, your total service cost comes to $100. That means you should tip $20 divided between the colorist and stylist.

The key is to choose a style that complements your natural features and overall look. Hair Type: Different hair types require various approaches to haircuts. For example, curly hair may need more layers to reduce bulk, while straight hair may benefit from a blunt cut to create the illusion of volume.

How do you know if a hairdresser is good? To find a good hairdresser, ask around, search social media, and schedule consultations. If you like their work and you can tell that they work with people who have similar hair types and textures as yours, that's usually a sign that they're a good fit.

20 percent to 25 percent:

20 percent is the most common tipping percentage in the hair industry. Tipping anywhere from 20 to 25 percent is a great range for anyone who is a salon regular or just received a haircut they love. Tipping properly is a great way to strengthen the relationship with your stylist.

What to say when getting a haircut? ›

Here's a simple guide if quick math also isn't your strong suit: $25 service = $5 tip. $50 service = $10 tip. $100 service = $20 tip.

If a hairdresser consistently ignores your instructions or imposes their own ideas without your consent, it's a sign that they're not focused on meeting your needs. A good hairdresser should be able to communicate with you effectively and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole appointment experience.
