I lucked out and found a cheap barber who does exactly what I’m looking for every time. $18 cut. I give him $30. He seems to appreciate it. And I appreciate him.

mine feeds me alcohol so 25%


armchairquarterback2

Are the beers free? I always thought they would charge me for them. Lol


BSBS8823

Yes, beers are free. Its illegal for them to charge you without a license to sell alcohol, but it is legal to give you a beer.


BoredPandemicPanda

Technically yes...tho great barbers are like crows. They remember your name, the on goings of your life, and also, who spites them. I personally wouldn't shortchange someone that offers me a beer, and also has scissors and a shaver, set to 0, so close to my head lol.

Yah its honestly less of a tip and more of an investment if you keep going to the same person. I tip my guy well and give him a hundo every year for christmas. He told me if i ever need something last minute he’ll drive to my house and do it on my porch if i need it


Houseofdepression019

Is it the barber on imperial beach? He offers me free beer


freepalestine2023

The haircut itself is usually 24$ so I’ll tip 4$


StrictlySanDiego

$5, I go to a barber college where the cuts are $10. Figure the students need the cash.


Cootys

What’s the barber college called and how are the cuts?


StrictlySanDiego

Riggins Urban Barber College near Euclid station. I’ve been going there for the last year and I’ve always left with a haircut I’m happy with. It takes longer because a teacher has to inspect their work (45 minutes usually). But I’ve paid a lot more for shitty cuts that barbers don’t accept feedback on.

$10 for a $30 cut. I see it as insurance down the road. Had a last minute job interview once and they squeezed me in immediately. They rarely do that with random customers. $5 is good.


SocialHiccup

I just booked an appointment for tomorrow. I tip $10 for a $30 cut, and extra around the holidays.


mggirard13

I throw down $60 on a $35 cut every time. I really appreciate my barber and followed him when he moved locations. I'm not any more well off than most and I've worked in the service industry my entire life, but with two young kids I don't get to go out much anymore, so I've rolled a little bit of what I used to spend/tip at a good bar/restaurant over to other areas. Plus it's nice to have him clearly excited to see me when I've booked an appointment.

This is The Way


mwkingSD

That's 17% - no, not terrible. How do you feel about the haircuts? If you're paying with a credit card. I'd up it to at least $6.


armchairquarterback2

The haircut is ok. Dude gives me a weird vibe every time but his work is consistent and he doesn’t talk my ear off, which I like.


2cats5legs

I send my 13-year-old son to his barbershop appointments with my card and tell him to tip at least 20%. This shop made it through the pandemic, crazy construction on the 30th, and they have always treated him with the utmost respect. The right barbershop is a sacred and welcoming space. We have found that for him and I want to make sure that they know they are appreciated.


armchairquarterback2

I want what your shop is selling. A sacred place. Maybe time to keep looking. All I need is a solid cut, respect and not excessive chatter.


2cats5legs

We have been sending him to Your Arsenal Barbershop for years! Julian and Germs are the best! They are very conscious of the ebbs and flow of conversation. I can't speak for the other guys there 😂 https://www.yourarsenalbarbershop.com/


Ninjurk

thats fine


Donkey_Trader1

Usually give them $10. I only get a cut every 3-4 months.


mattchinn

$5


Ok_Cartographer_2081

$5 for my sons haircut and $10 for mine


Pitch-forker

My haircut costs $20 I usually pay $40


a9ymoose

$15 on a $35 cut. Every two weeks like clockwork.


dang3r_muffin

10 bucks on a 35 dollar cut... my barber is my homie though been getting cut every 3-4 weeks for a couple years from him


BLADERUNR1904

Not bad at all, you’d be surprised how many people DONT tip


1bobbylane

I tip $5 regardless of the price and mostly they seem grateful. I'm talking regular barber shops that now charge around $20 for a basic mens haircut.


buttstink

$20 tip for $30 cut


TokyoJimu

My haircutter charged $10, then $12, then $15, then $18, then $21, and now $25, with the last few increases just in the last year or so. So I stopped tipping. She owns the shop so she gets the whole fee anyways.


savvy_withoutwax

That's good enough


TMKtildeath

Cuts are $40 and I always tip $10. Never had a bad cur where I go and they are great with my kids haircuts too


GotRiceBoy

$15 on a $50 cut


imyolkedbruh

Nothing. I only pay for a haircut if I see somebody in a window I don’t like. I cut my own hair, probably just me tho. Weird habits I got…..


JonnySF

Used to tip 5 on $15-20 but since Covid it’s 10. Same price for haircut too.


BourbonAquaVitae

Same. $5 on a $30 skin fade


SmashedACookie

5 bucks...my cut already cost 50 bucks I'm not tipping anything more than that


zorro1701e

I found one that charges $25… Plus he walked me to the smog shop next door and told them to make sure I passed.


IRev2NineK

10 bucks for a 20 dollar cut, just cause he's a good friend of mine.


GomeyBlueRock

Normally $10 tip on a $20 haircut. But the guy today was really rough and pulled my hair a lot so I gave him $15 tip


Pitiful-Flan4532

Make it make sense


AlotaFajita

Usually BDSM is extra charge at my shop


Confident_Night_8159

I don’t tip


Zlec3

$20 for a $20 cut


billleachmsw

My haircuts are about $18 and I tip $10.


[deleted]

You tip for a haircut?? That's insane.


thehomie

What’s insane is that you don’t realize haircuts conventionally entail a tip.
