How much to tip at a hair salon
Most guides agree on a range of about 15% to 25% of the service price.
- 15% is the usual minimum.
- 20% is the common standard. NerdWallet puts it simply: “The tipping standard is usually 20%” (NerdWallet).
- 20% to 25% is typical for a stylist you see regularly or a cut you love (Hair.com).
- Assistants: about $3 to $5 for a shampoo or rinse (NerdWallet), or $5 to $20 depending on how much they helped (Hair.com).
Every stylist at Kija is an independent professional with their own clients and prices, so ask your stylist how they prefer to take tips.

Can I use this for another salon?
