Whether you tip more or less depends on your relationship with your barber and how well your cut went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to leave a tip since it makes up a large part of a barber\u2019s income. The shop may take a portion of their sales or your barber may only get paid an hourly wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tipping also helps you build a better relationship with your barber, supports their work, and shows them how grateful you are for their service. It\u2019s also good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/barbershop-etiquette\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=barber_etiquette&amp;utm_content=barbershop_etiquette\">barbershop etiquette<\/a> to leave a fair tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand the importance of tipping, it\u2019s time to learn how much you should tip your barber. We\u2019ll go over times you should tip your barber more or less, who else you should tip, and everything else you should know before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=home&amp;utm_content=booking_your_next_haircut\">booking your next haircut<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-should-i-tip-more\">When should I tip more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should tip more if you enjoyed your time at the shop, they made you comfortable, listened to you, took their time, and gave you a great haircut. A bigger tip is also appreciated if you arrived late, showed up with really dirty hair, or did anything else that might have inconvenienced them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special services like house calls or more intricate cuts and styles may also warrant a bigger tip. It takes a lot more effort and time to do these special services than a regular cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Location should also play a part in your tip. It generally costs more to run a barbershop in a big city than a small town. If you\u2019re getting a haircut in an area with a higher cost of living and lots of other barbershops, consider bumping up your tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-should-i-tip-less\">When should I tip less?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tip less if your barber didn\u2019t do a great job, they unnecessarily rushed the appointment, or if their workspace was dirty or uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speak up right away if you notice your cut isn\u2019t going the way you expected. You should give your barber a chance to correct it instead of staying silent and then giving them a small tip. Oftentimes, your barber can help you achieve a style that looks great as long as you communicate with them. They also may not know that you\u2019re unhappy unless you speak up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they flat out reject your request or otherwise aren\u2019t accommodating, then that\u2019s a signal for a lower tip. Just know the difference between a barber suggesting what they think is best for your hair versus someone being downright rude or uncooperative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this situation entirely, do your research on barbers before you step foot in anyone&#8217;s shop. Read reviews, look at past photos, ask your friends and family for recommendations, and compare their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/mens-haircut-prices\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=mens_cut_prices&amp;utm_content=prices_for_mens_haircuts\">prices for men&#8217;s haircuts<\/a> to others in the area. Doing a little digging can save yourself stress and a potentially bad haircut in the long run. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/search?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=search&amp;utm_content=our_community_of_barbers\">Our community of barbers<\/a> is a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair.jpg\" alt=\"man getting haircut at the barber shop\" class=\"wp-image-9814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/01-barber-cutting-hair-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, your regular barber may just be having a bad day. This doesn\u2019t mean you should completely accept poor service \u2014 you should still feel confident to speak up if something is off. That may be all you need to get the cut you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, keep in mind that they\u2019re human, too. You can leave a smaller tip if your service wasn\u2019t as great as normal. However, one so-so haircut shouldn\u2019t be enough for you to find a new barber. Give them the benefit of the doubt for that day, but consider finding someone else if poor service becomes a consistent problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-tip-the-owner\">Should I tip the owner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not expected to tip the owner of the shop. They\u2019ll appreciate the tip, but there\u2019s no need to go out of your way to tip them. You can tip the owner if they helped with a part of your appointment, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-tip-others-in-the-shop\">Should I tip others in the shop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should tip others if they helped with your appointment. For example, you can tip the person who washed your hair around $3 to $5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-tip-differently-during-the-holidays\">Should I tip differently during the holidays?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/money.usnews.com\/money\/blogs\/my-money\/articles\/your-tipping-and-gift-guide-during-the-holidays\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tip more than normal during the holidays<\/a> if you\u2019ve had great experiences with your barber throughout the year and you\u2019re feeling generous. Some people leave a 25 percent tip while others tip double the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-much-haircut\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_much_haircut&amp;utm_content=cost_of_the_cut\">cost of the cut<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know your barber, you can give small gifts or do thoughtful gestures in lieu of a big tip. It all comes down to what you\u2019re comfortable with giving them. However, there\u2019s no obligation to give big tips or do any grand gestures during the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-1140x760.jpg\" alt=\"man getting hair cut\" class=\"wp-image-9815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02-happy-man-getting-hair-cut-at-barbershop.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-tip-a-new-barber-differently-than-my-regular-barber\">Should I tip a new barber differently than my regular barber?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to tip based on how well the new barber cut your hair, rather than how long you\u2019ve known them. Some will advise you not to tip a new barber more than your regular barber, but at the end of the day, that decision is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to tip differently, you may also consider tipping them a little more than standard if you liked your cut and want to start building a relationship with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-tip-a-kid-s-barber-differently-than-an-adult-barber\">Should I tip a kid\u2019s barber differently than an adult barber?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a new barber, you should tip a kid\u2019s barber based on their service and how well they worked with the kid. Children\u2019s cuts normally run on the cheaper end and don\u2019t take as long as adult cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although that might seem like a green light for a lower tip, keep in mind that this barber has specialized expertise to work with kids. That includes the knowledge needed for styling and cutting a child\u2019s hair, along with knowing how to make kids comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-should-i-give-my-tip\">How should I give my tip?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many barbers prefer to get tipped in cash. It helps them avoid any <a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/us\/en\/townsquare\/credit-card-processing-fees-and-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fees they or the salon have to pay with credit card transactions<\/a>. Cash also means they get their tip right away. When tipping on a card, it can take a day or so for the transaction to process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although cash is normally king, preferences vary from barber to barber. Some may not like to handle cash and prefer a tip on your card or through a cash sharing app. Ask your barber what they prefer ahead of time so you can have your tip money ready to go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-tip-with-services-or-other-things\">Can I tip with services or other things?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tipping with services may work if you talk to your barber beforehand and don\u2019t rely on it as a permanent alternative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfib.com\/content\/resources\/money\/a-small-business-guide-to-bartering-bizhelp-66980\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swapping services<\/a> is a potential option if you\u2019re specially trained in that area. For example, if you\u2019re a plumber by trade, you can offer to fix up the pipes at their shop or at their home. It\u2019s not a great idea to offer plumbing services if you\u2019re the family handyman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber.jpg\" alt=\"man talking with barber while getting a beard trim\" class=\"wp-image-9816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/03-man-talking-with-barber-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, a barber can\u2019t pay the bills with a service swap. We recommend only asking about this alternative if you have a good relationship with your barber and you\u2019re confident you can deliver quality service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also be prepared for them to reject your offer. Although you\u2019re not required to tip, it\u2019s best to at least tip what you can rather than to skip the tip completely or to continuously ask about tipping alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tipping is the best way to show your gratitude for your barber and a direct way to support their business. Now that you\u2019ve got your tipping etiquette down, you should also brush up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/barber-terms\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=barber_terms&amp;utm_content=common_barber_terms\">common barber terms<\/a> before your next haircut.
