not being rude or cheap...

but if your make-up person is getting paid $75-$150 a girl (give or take)

why do you tip? You know your covering all the costs she could ever endure for the day, and its all going into her pocket....

Just curious....

Re: not being rude or cheap...

I am not gonna tip, unless they come at 8AM on the dot (suppose to come at 9AM)

I didnt even tip for the trial

Re: not being rude or cheap...

I was under the impression that if the person owns the business you don't have to tip them. I wouldn't tip them anything crazy, maybe just a token.

Re: not being rude or cheap...

i guess its just customary now....and they just expect it maybe...

the other day i went to get my hair blown out and totally forgot to tip the guy for doing it...... so as i paid and im walkin out he tells me 'wheres my tip??' omg i was embarrassed that i forgot, but then i was like ***? how do u ask for a tip?!?!

If hair is $100, 20% would be $20, so I guess a token would be like $10?

Re: not being rude or cheap...

Yea my makeup is $150 bucks there is noway I am giving her another $30 for a tip just from me, lol. Maybe and Extra $10 bucks from me, and like $5 or so from each girl she does.

Re: not being rude or cheap...

My makeup person charged $150 and I'd given a $50 deposit. I only tipped $20 the day of because he was a little high maintenance to work and because he kept running late, everything else ran late and cut into our picture time (and yes, I padded the time and gave him an extra half hour). I think $170 was enough for my makeup though.

Re: not being rude or cheap...

once at a bar/lounge in NYC we had bought a bottle wich is obviously expensive when the guy brought it to us he waited there and then asked for a tip!

I think a 'token' is good enough!

Re: not being rude or cheap...

I know!! I had no idea I should have tipped at my makeup trial and then I totally overtipped at my hair trial (gave her $30 for a $50 trial!)

I think the day of I will give like $30 tips, which is exactly 20% (both hair & makeup are $150).

But if you think about it, 6 people are getting their hair done, plus me so she's making $600 for like 4 hours of work, which is not too shabby!!!
