A tool that determines an appropriate gratuity amount for services rendered at establishments specializing in hair care. It functions by calculating a percentage, typically ranging from 15% to 25%, of the total service cost. For instance, if a haircut costs $50, a 20% gratuity would result in a $10 tip, bringing the total payment to $60.
Calculating appropriate gratuities promotes fair compensation for salon professionals and facilitates a smoother transaction process. The practice of tipping recognizes the skill and effort involved in providing personalized hair services. Historically, tipping has evolved as a means of supplementing service worker income, and continues to be a standard practice in the beauty industry.
