No tipping over here!
Listen, if accepting gratuity works for you and your business…. Great. But when I decided to go out on my own 3 years ago, tipping was the first thing to go.
As a hair extension and hair loss replacement specialist, there are two parts to every service. The cost of the actual hair and the cost of my labour. I group these together to create customized packages for each guest. Technically, you should only tip on the labour not product cost. And I’d crawl out of my own skin when guests would ask ME how much to leave as a tip🫠
So when I opened up on my own, I took a hard look at the cost of running my business and I priced my services accordingly.
What are your thoughts on tipping culture in the beauty industry? Especially on high ticket services like extensions?
