First of all great clips makes there employees do hair cuts between 13 to 17 min in order to make a raise for the day. Second we would take more time on your hair if you would actually tip well!

We only make min. wage! Third we are worked like dogs and don't get breaks at all. So if you would quit being cheap and tip maybe we would give you a good hair cut.

You think a dollar is a good enough tip....please, we live off our tips.

If I do 20 customers and they all tip me a dollar thats 20 dollars in 8 hours...are you kidding me. So next time you want to complain about your great clips hair cut maybe you should actually treat your stylist better

Well after reading 40% of this thread I'll probably up my Great Clips tip from $2 to $3 for a standard hair cut... $5 seems way too high to me.

Guest

90 percent of the people make minimum wage. If you make that plus tips, no matter how big or small they are, your actually doing better than most of us. In California the minimum wage is 12 an hour and if you have a spouse that works or your part of a public assistance agency then you just need to shut your mouth and do your job!

I routinely give a five dollar tip but I only get a buzz cut. I do it twice a year.

My stylist gets $15 for the cut but I have worked jobs that tip and I can tell you PEOPLE ARE SO CHEAP!!! Oh thank you for one dollar your so kind and generous, NOT!! People will be cheap and justify that cheapness by actively looking for some reason not to tip. One job I had I got a 30 cent tip and I was told I would have gotten more if I wasnโ€™t running all over the restaurant having to do 20 different orders.

Is it my failure that 20 tables are filled and Iโ€™m the only person running order, getting drinks, serving food and taking payments? Nope just a victim of other people and thier need to have thier breaks. On the other hand that same night I ended up with over $200 in tips. Why?

Because each and every person saw me busting jump to make sure everyone was taken care of. I announced that Iโ€™m the only server and if you need something put your glasses at the edge of your table. The same holds true for styling hair. They have to bust hump and try and make your hair the way you like it based only on your description.

Giving tips is a time honored tradition and believe it or not they are TAXED!!

So every time you slip a buck to your stylist you are making them pay more taxes out of thier paycheck because the employees get taxed a flat rate per hour on tips. 20% is the usual on hair cut tips try and remember that you are screwing people by being cheap.

noo

People are cheap. They come in with their $2 coupon requesting you wash their greasy scalps and cut their flaky hair that they havent brushed in weeks...We are giving you a service that lasts for 4-6 weeks and you think tipping $2 is okay?? Wow

Guest

Do a good job and you will get an appropriate tip and my repeat business. But dont dare tell me what to tip.

I tip 2.00 for a simple mans haircut that takes 10 mins.

If you work as a stylist for minimum wage its your damned fault.

I will not end up paying 20 for a mans haircut.

If you are fully trained and work for minimum wage ur a *** and I dont want you near my neck with sharp objects

Guest

What kind of stylist would work for minimum wage !

Am I supposed to pay normal cost for a haircut AND support the stylist ?

Guest

Yes!!!! I agree, I also work at a great clips..

And people really do think 1$ is a good tip.. No its not I just brought home 300 $ for two weeks.. If it wasn't for tips I don't know what I would do!!

I try to always do the best on every haircut.. But sometimes I'm like was it even worth that 1$ tip?!?

So sorry too hear that, you awesome and employees and managers always deserve more tips. Wherever i am going i am always making sure i am tipping 5.00 bucks.

Guest

With all due respect, your minimum wage and break rules are not my doing. I think I tip well but it bothers me that I am expected (with said tip) to make your job worth your while.

If someone doesn't like their job then get a new one. But the customer should be the priority and concern.

Not how much they will tip. Maybe instead of waiting for the bigger tip to do a good job, you should do a good job...then you will get a bigger tip.

I agree. I tip based on the quality and friendliness of the stylist.

And I'm not picky. Today it was $3, and it took about 10 minutes.

TIPS is supposed to be To Insure Prompt Service, ironically I've found tipping 20% before the service, usually gets worse service. Would suggesting "the rest of your tip depends on the service" tick them off, or get better service?

With all due respect, you're an arrogant and rude jerk. It's customers like you why people hate their jobs.

I'm starting too see why employees and managers don't want you as an customer.

And you're the reason why people leave their stores and their careers. You're living proof of no, the customer is not always right.

Guest

Agreed. It's so sad and bad too see people make assumptions or accusations about others why they are not happy with their jobs or their careers. People really need to put themselves into their shoes too see why people hate their jobs and their careers.

Guest

Wait, let me do the math. $20/8hr=$2.50/hr.

If you're making that on top of federal minimum wage ($7.25), you're making $20,280/yr at 40hr/week. This is 170% of the poverty level for an individual and 126% of the poverty level for a family of two.

Surely you're not getting rich, but you're not dying either.

For comparison, CNAs make around the same amount.

My advice: go work for a better company.

Guest

I don't know why y'all complain that you don't get tipped well. I understand you only make minimum wage and pretty much depend on the tips, I use to work in restaurants. But it goes the same way, give good service and you'll make better tips.

You get $20 for bringing dinner and drinks, we get $2 for playing in your flaky scalps and giving you a cut that lasts a month!

And someone needs too teach and educate you that, 'no the customer is not always right!' There are plenty of customers that are so rude and arrogant too the employees and managers, while they lie and fabricate. Maybe that's why they are complaining. There always two sides too the story of the outcome of this.

Agreed with you and what you're saying. People who are working into retail do not need to put up with mean and nasty people.

Guest

And you don't need to understand. And you don't need to make assumptions or accusations about others who are working into retail.

People who are working into retail are always treated like *** and *** by mean and nasty people. Maybe you need to do your research and see how they are treated before you're making assumptions or accusations about others!
