Do NOT's of getting your hair cut part2

"Not too short but not too long" what does that mean? How short is too short? How long is too long? I have no idea. It is different for every person. Please people, we need a little more than that!

HOLD STILL! I don't care if you are 2 or 92. Hold still. If your child won't hold still please don't be mad if we can't get everything. It's hard to hit a moving target. If you are an adult, you have NO excuse to be wiggling. Kids have some excuse but once you are 3-3 1/2, you should be able to sit still for 10 minutes. 
I had a kid in my chair today that was 13 and wouldn't hold still. He was wiggling so much I missed the comb and had to take his hair MUCH shorter than what his Mom wanted. It's very frustrating.

Don't tell me how you want your hair cut and then change your mind 50 times. One cut per customer please! I don't want to cut your hair over and over again. There is a kid named Jeremy that comes in ever 3 weeks. I always cut his hair. I will cut it at least 10 different ways before he leaves. He'll tell me, I cut it like he says and then he changes his mind. It makes me frustrated. I can do 3-4 haircuts in the time it takes me to cut his hair! Arg! He is always please and says he's coming back to me. That is great, other than I don't like him.

If you like your haircut, please tip your stylist. That's where we make our money. If you go to a restaurant and like your server you tip them right? It's the same with a stylist. Also, please don't ask us for change for a $100 and then walk out with out tipping. We know you have the money! Don't tell us it's the best haircut ever and not tip us too. That hurts our feelings. "hey you did great but you're not worth the extra $2" Well thanks buddy!

  1. I've always wondered how much to tip. Is it a percentage? What's considered lousy, normal, and great?

  3. It depends I the area. In Washington my tips ranged from $4-$10 per haircut. Here it's $1-$3 if I even get a tip. It's not really a percentage. It's more on how you liked your experience.
