They should have made their price 14 quid which effectively means you're 100% a tool if you don't give them 15 (in their eyes at least).
I've never tipped a barber
For a serious stylist, where a bit more craft and thought is involved - almost like a consultation - and it takes a lot more time, I can see how there might be an expectation to tip
As for the original question, I'd just stick with keep the change, unless you had a really good natter and have change to hand
This works when it is £9, but at £11 it would be a ~40% tip so that seemed extreme (and worse if I only had a £20 note)I like keep the change, as it is casual, but to sort £1/£2 out of the change and give it back to them seems awkward to meQuote from: dr_botnik on August 25, 2017, 03:59:17 pmAs for the original question, I'd just stick with keep the change, unless you had a really good natter and have change to hand

Rationally, tipping makes sense for a service that: 1. is provided by a specific person 2. you trust that person to deliver the service well 3. you don't necessarily trust other people to do it 4. the service is important to you in some way 5. you use the service often. In my life, hair cutting is the only thing that ticks all those boxes. So I always tip the stylist generously.

So to sort of repeat myself, why don't people tip me for the service I provide at the Works
