I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.
People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.
Tbf, it’s not $5. It’s like $60-70.
The question is…but why? Why do we need to tip hair dressers? I can afford to eat out and get my hair done, but I can’t afford the extra 20-25% that is the tax we call a tip.
You are right! Tip fatigue…I’d rather buy very expensive ingredients and good at home when I’m feeling fancy
