Remember the golden rule: "You should tip 20% on the entire service cost, not per individual," says Schweitzer.

Generally, you should tip a hairdresser 20 percent if you're happy with all aspects of your service, says Hodges. So whether you get a basic trim, a blowout, or a major color change (like the super-trendy blue hair you've been saving on IG), 20 percent is a rule of thumb.

Average haircut price The average cost of a haircut is $15 to $75, depending on the location, salon type, and the stylist's experience. Your hair's length and texture may also affect the haircut price. The average price for a women's haircut is $45 to $75, while men's haircut prices range from $25 to $50.

Salons often use high-quality, professional-grade products that are more expensive than the ones you might find in a supermarket. These products are designed to be gentle on the hair, offer better results, and are often ethically sourced and produced. The use of such products is factored into the haircut prices.
