I just recently went to a new hair salon for a change and they are a non tipping salon. Let me tell you I love it. Hair is expensive and if they are pocketing all that money (paying rent) then they are doing great. I think it is a great idea for hair. Nails are another ballgame. The reason I say that is that we are not getting paid near the amount that hair dressers (for example) are and we spend more time on a client for a service that is not near the dollar amount as other services in the salon (usually). With that being said I don't think I would implement that policy, IMHO. --- On Mon, 10/5/09, Caralyn Brown <[email protected]> wrote:

Y'all are gonna pee your pants. Y'all heard me talk about the "Very High End Spa" that I worked at that was just a expensive NSS. Ok, well the facial girls, and massage girls ( cuz the owner was lesbian and didn't hire men) so I can say girls. These service providers would find pretty trays or bowls and and put their own cash their 10's 20's so it would look like they were getting tipped well. I called it bating the client. Well the owner got pissed at me and told me to mind my own business and maybe I should try to get my tips up. I told I was doing just fine thank you Do y'all believe that? Caralyn.

Clients don't have to give us tips. I like tips and I will reserve special favors for clients that give tips but to be blatant and put out a jar-----I wouldn't do that. Some clients may be so offended by it that they will deliberately NOT leave a tip because it's asked for.

I have actually contemplated raising my rates just a smidge and then explaining that I no longer accept tips. I have not done this cuz I have not totally thought it through. Yet it is something I still contemplate as something different from the other shops...Great service and no tip expectations....what do others think about this tip thing?!?!?!
