tipping question (at the hairdressers)

I had my hair cut on Friday, I didn't love it, didn't hate it. Didn't
say anything to the stylist (my regular stylist moved overseas, and this
was the first time I've been there since she left). Tip for that visit
was right at 15%.
Over the past few days I decided I wasn't happy so I went back there
tonight. I got a different stylist, told her I was in on Friday didn't
like my cut and what could she do for me...my re–cut is ok, I still
don't love it, but I know she did the best she could with what hair I
have left and as I was walking back into the reception area she said,
"there's no charge at all for tonight".
I usually walk out from there loving what they do for me.
My question is, would you / should you tip in this circumstance, and if
so how much?

Sandra,
Because it was a new stylist, and she didn't charge you for the service, you
should tip her as she isn't making any money off of you. Tip should be the
customary 15–20% depending on how satisfied you were with the outcome.
Regards,
Amy

Well, what I would do is tip the same amount that I would have for a say anything to the stylist (my regular stylist moved overseas, and this
was the first time I've been there since she left). Tip for that visit

<princess.san...@gmail.com> coughed and sputtered, and managed to
choke out these words:
should always tip.
and as a stylist, i love it if a client is open and honest with
me about what they hate (or love) about the cut i've done for
them. i'd rather a client tell me what s/he wants before they
walk out the door so i can fix it for them. i also offer a 7–day
guarantee on all cuts; if you're not happy after you walk out,
you have seven days to return to *me* (if you go to someone else,
i lose my commission) to have your cut redone or adjusted.

I love that 7–day policy! If more stylists had it, there would be far fewer
dissatisfied customers. It makes sense, it's customer friendly, and
considerate.
It also shows respect for the customer.
