Should I have tipped my hair dresser for fixing my color?

I've been going to my hair dresser for about a year, and she's really nice and good with my hair. She colored my hair about 3 wks ago, and the color didnt hold very well. I called her yesterday and she fixed it, it looks great. Well, she didnt charge me (she works for Regis Salon) since it was a re-do and I didnt feel then I needed to tip her? what do you think? oh, and while she was waiting for my hair color to set in, she waxed my eyebrows and upperlip for free too! I feel bad now,, and wondering what if anything I should do? thanksShould I have tipped my hair dresser for fixing my color?
If it was just for fixing your color, no. And when she waxed you for free it was probably her way of apologizing. Personally I would have tipped her anyways just for her trouble (that's just me).Should I have tipped my hair dresser for fixing my color?
No she messed it up so don`t worry about it next time be sure to tip her well though
Yes, just tip her well the next time, and all will be forgiven.
Mona if it was me,yes I would of tipped her,she gave you great service and did some extra services for you,why don't you send her a Christmas card with a note and slip some money in it for her.
She doesn't expect it if it's for a fix. Send her a card would be nice if it bothers you. A card would be thoughtful for the season and a note thanks for the waxing. Money isn't always the best response.
Just get her a small Christmas present. She will like it and you will fell better.
Yes. You have to realize that stylists working for franchise salons like Regis are being paid minimum wage or a little higher. Also, when color does not hold it is almost never actually the stylists fault, it is the condition of the hair and the products that are being used on it. Especially since she waxed for you, you should have tipped her. You could send her a Christmas card with a $10 gift card in it, or just tip her extra next time, I would be lying if I said it doesn't hurt our feelings a little when we go out of the way then are not tipped.
My feeling about tipping is it is a manipulation and has gotten out of hand. Service and products have a price and you pay the honest value for that- sometimes, way more. A tip is just a gift of appreciation. Some folks try to make it seem like everyone you look at needs to be tipped. In the beginning, the process of giving a tip was a bid for advantage. Tip means, ';To Insure Promptness';- almost like expecting anyone you smile at to let you cut in line in front of everyone else. The tip was to buy more service than the rest of the customers- get waited on before others who don't tip.





So, what do you get to do when you aren't pleased with the service? I might leave a one cent tip, or if I feel cheated, ask for compensation and announce I'll never return. When your employer doesn't pay you well enough and depends on customers to make up for their stinginess, the workers keep chasing the ';carrot on a stick'; and paying tax on it if they get any. Prices should be fair. Pay should be fair and tips should be an option, not a requirement. By the way, tips are calculated as a percentage of the service price.





If I shine your shoes so they reflect like a mirror and only take 10 minutes doing it and charge you $10 , should you tip me another $2? I should have 20 customers like that each day to make over $4000 a month, but still be the shoeshine boy. Look down on me in my big old red Cadillac. Po' boy!





I bought a new car last July. I got a great deal and I'm happy with the car. I didn't leave a tip on the almost $20,000 cost of the car, extended warranty and special options. I don't do this often at all. I will be glad to take the tax deduction too and sleep like a baby.





Next time you go to Walmart, tip all the shopping cart shaggers. They really get the short end.
