It's always good to tip someone if they do a good job.  They are happy and will do a better job next time you come back.

$5 for a $27 cut coz I think the service is good.

Why no tip ? it is unfair since they provide the same service, and usually they work harder than the staffs

Cos the owner gets EVERYTHING you paid. And the stylist only get portion of it?! Don't know.

I think a haircut for girl is around $35 - 40.
And I think the N. America norm is to tip the stylist if he/she is NOT the owner of the salon.

o! right! lady's cut usually includes washing hair (before/after) and dry and style after the cut. Some Japanese salon also include a short (few mins) shoulder/head massage.

8 dollars should be the haircut for men without washing hair.

I am a new immigrant and live in Vancouver.  I am a girl with long curl hair. I need a hair-cut (a simple trim would be fine).  yet, the price is really expensive as compared in HK.  I saw some shop charge $8 ( or start at $12) while I found the one at metro-town is $42!

What's the average price?  Like Catpiano said, it was pretty good in HK around $100 - $150, but here......Thx.
