So, I haven't been tipping my stylist. I feel like a jerk.?

I usually always tipped when going to a hair stylist. Every stylist I'd ever been to had the option of adding the tip to the bill when I ran my debut card (like in a restaurant). I moved, and found an amazing stylist that I've been going to for the past year. The salon where she works doesn't have the option of doing this (the tip line isn't there on the receipt). Since she works at a nice place, I thought that she was getting paid from the cost of service and that tipping wasn't appropriate.

Now, I think I might have made a big mistake. My mom never went to the stylist when I was growing up. I'm in my 20's, but I really don't know jack about salon etiquette. Should I change stylists? I'm so embarrassed about this. I probably would have given her over 100 dollars by now if I'd been tipping.

Either switch, or stay. I am sure if it was that big of an issue she would have hinted at it.
If you like her work, stay and just begin tipping.
I am sure you aren't the only onee!

I really don't think you should switch stylists. It is so difficult to find a good stylist.

well generally you are supposed to leave a tip. i say call the place, don't say who you are and ask if its customary to leave tips there. if it is, next time, just give her the $100
