I asked for golden highlights, and they came out white blonde. She toned it down, and then it looked orange-y! Do I have to tip if I was very upset with my hair?Do I have to tip the hair stylist if I am not happy with my hair?
You should NEVER leave the salon unhappy. If she messed it up she needs to fix it for free on the spot, then you can tip her if she is kind and helpful about it. Too many people just say whatever and leave. If your hair is not exactly what you want it to be, stay until it is.Do I have to tip the hair stylist if I am not happy with my hair?
I agree with Amber Marie. Don't ever leave the salon unhappy. She should fix it and then if she does you should tip her for the extra time and effort spent.
You don't HAVE to tip ANYBODY for ANYTHING. It's your choice.
no-way if its not what you want dont tip them try a different salon if your not happy

Whats the average pay for being a hair stylist?
I want to become a hair stylist and Im just trying to look at all my options and find out more information about cosmotology.. what is the average pay?Whats the average pay for being a hair stylist?
i get paid $17 an hour but i also work at a really good salon. it also depends on if you rent a booth or not. because you can rent booths for a payment every month and you get to keep all your profit. its hard though!Whats the average pay for being a hair stylist?
if you're good you can do really well. i know people like that and they are able to charge hundreds of dollars just for a haircut or color. renting a booth or getting your own business can make you very successful. i know people who have only been working less than a year in the hairstyling industry and they're rolling in like 50,000 dollars on average. you can do very well!
It depends on where you live. I know in the city I live in it is like between 10-15 an hour. Also a normal haircut would cost 25 bucks. In a city one and a half hours away from me(bigger city) It costs over 100 to get a cut done so I imagine they make more there. Just ask around in your city/town.
depends what kind of a salon you work at and where you live. i work in a chain salon in PA and get paid minimum wage, $7.15/hr. so i really rely on tips. so make sure you tip your stylist good haha

What career advancements are availble for a Hair Stylist?
I want to become a hair stylist but i want to know what other opportunities there are out there. Thanks in advance!!What career advancements are availble for a Hair Stylist?
Owning your own salon!! How cool would that be?! :)What career advancements are availble for a Hair Stylist?
You can go places.....Try becoming a celebrity's ';personal';, ';private hairstylist for hire';... You'll travel a lot...or seek employment on the Movie , and TV film sets...that will get your foot into film Industry, and if you're good your services will be requested, privately....or, you can own your own beauty shop and train other stylist to represent your company for private hire.
Sometimes you have to create an opportunity on your own
to work to your advantage.
How many professional, '; personal hairstylist for hire'; , have you ever heard of ??? Good luck !
When you go to school for hair you learn SO much you can do ALOT of things. You could be a platform artist, where you are on stage and do hair in front of others to show them how to do things, you could be a color specialist, or a specialist in other fields having to do with hair.....extentions etc....You could own, you could do runway or photo shoots. I know it may be a morbid, but you could do hair for funeral homes (do you have any idea how much money is in that?!) There are so many options. Call a local hair school and talk to the representative....they can tell you your options too!blushed

Why do I need to tip my hair stylist when I've already paid for the service?
My job doesn't tip me for the work they pay me to do. Please don't say if you want her to do a good job I have to tip her. That's why I pay her.Why do I need to tip my hair stylist when I've already paid for the service?
hairdressers are on a poor wage most of the money goes to the owner so if you like this person who does your hair treat them, and next time they do your hair they'll do a even better job....Why do I need to tip my hair stylist when I've already paid for the service?
I am a stylist who works in a healthy hair concept salon and we get paid very little tring to give clients a low cost hair care service, so for me my tips that my clients give helps out alot especially during the week since we get paid weekly it really helps out with gas and lunch money for the week
You do not need to tip your stylist. It's a custom that some people observe and some don't. It has been my experience that people normally tip their stylist unless they are the owner of the salon because the stylists working for someone have to pay part of what they earn to the salon owner. I have worked in both situations and when you are working for someone and have to pay them part of what you earn, the tips really help because you do not have to share those with the salon owner. I owned a salon for over 5 years and some of my customers tipped and some didn't. It made no difference to me who tipped and who didn't. I always did a good job whether they tipped me or not. I would say that 90% of my customers did give me tips even though I owned the salon because they appreciated the time I took to make certain that they were happy with my work.
i agree. i haven actually heard of tipping ur hairdresser. tahts y u pay them
I don't understand what the point in tipping a hair stylist is either. I never tip my hair stylist and she always does a phenomenal job. They already charge me enough, I'm not going to pay extra money when I don't even HAVE to.
because most the money you already pay doesnt go towards her paycheck so it gives her more money than what she already makes
TBH i tip my hair stylist,
my hair stylist is realy cheap but does an amazing job and always knows exactly wat i want,
most of the money you pay your stylist actually pays for stuff like the tea and coffee or drinks you get whilest they are doing your hair (if they r nice like that) or the treatments like peroxides, dyes or even the rent of their shop.
i always tip mine becuase she does a wonderful job. its like a little kid getting praised for doing a good peice of work or a yr 10 getting praised for an amazing peice of coursework, if you dont show them you think they did an amazing job then how are they ever going to know? you dont NEED to tip your hair stylist but its common curtosey, like tipping the taxi driver or the pizza delivery man...
Hope this helped:S
Byes
Hairstylists are usually paid one of two ways (at least in my state, where there is no booth rental) One is hourly, which is generally slightly above or slightly below minimum wage. The second way is commission, which is a percentage of your wages brought in that week (the other half of the percentage that does not end up on a stylist's check goes to the owner, who uses it for business costs). For those states with booth rental, I believe the stylist keeps the entire cost, but is also expected to pay rent, and furnish their own supplies (including color, styling products, etc.) So in the end, many stylists really aren't making that much of a wage at all, just by providing the services. It's the tips that really help them to make a decent (or in many cases, slightly above fast food restaurants) wage. Now, some very high class salons don't expect you to personally hand over a tip; it is actually written as a mandatory charge already on your bill. And also keep in mind that stylists are generally expected to pay for their own shears, combs, hot tools, clippers, etc., as well as advanced education classes to keep up on the latest trends (and often, newer stylists are still paying off their school loans as well). In addition, stylists experience slow weeks and even months, in which their paycheck is below normal. So, in essence, a few dollars given to a stylist who did a good job on your hair is only a small sacrifice to you, but can make a big difference to the stylist by the end of the day.

Anyone a hair stylist and knows a product or products that is best used for deep hair conditioning treatments?
Salon quality ?Anyone a hair stylist and knows a product or products that is best used for deep hair conditioning treatments?
I am unfortunately not a hair stylist, but I find that Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment works verrrrry nicely. Has a tabacco-ey smell though, if you don't mind that, then it's quite nice. You can find it at Sephora.
You could also try Infusium-23 Which i've used, they have a leave-in treatment, and is a bit cheaper than the stuff at Sephora.
If you really want to get a professionals opinion, try going to your salon (or A salon) and just ask someone. They'll be happy to help.Anyone a hair stylist and knows a product or products that is best used for deep hair conditioning treatments?
i agree with the ojon mentioned above, its super coditioning. do visit sephora.com and check out the frederic fekkai line of conditioners, theyre quite amazing
im not a stylist either. but i have had damaged hair, and i have found that the pantene restoratives hair mask works very well.. ive used alot of things on my hair, and this is one of the better products.. and its affordable

My hair is parted on the side, why do hair stylist's cut it longer on one side of the part?
I have had 2 different people cut it this way. It is annoying because if your part does not fall into place as when it was cut, the longer pieces go on the other side and look ridiculous.My hair is parted on the side, why do hair stylist's cut it longer on one side of the part?
My hair is doing that too, and it doesnt want to stay on the other side of my head, its so freakin annoying!My hair is parted on the side, why do hair stylist's cut it longer on one side of the part?
That is the stylist fault...they will tell you different but it is....next time you go in make a point to part your hair yourself and tell them that is how you always part it...this way it will be the same when you style it...if they get offended or mad then find another salon to go to.....the hair will fall right if it is cut to your style but if it is cut where they part it or think you part it then it will not fall right....they should be ok with this...i actually have people to do this before i cut their hair that way they are happy when they get home
