"Having written many magazine articles on the topics of etiquette and holiday tipping, I can tell you this: Apparently, we are supposed to tip our hairstylists the cost of one appointment when holiday time hits. What I&amp;#x27;m wondering is how many people actually know/follow this &amp;quot;rule&amp;quot;. I mean, if I were a fancy Upper East Side housewife who went to the salon weekly for blowouts and monthly for trims/color, it would make sense to really take care of my regular stylist at the holidays. He&amp;#x27;d practically be a member of my family. But most women just don&amp;#x27;t see their stylist that often. Plus, we tip our hairstylist at every appointment--unlike, say, doormen or postal workers or trash collectors, who you traditionally tip only at the holidays. I can see maybe throwing in a little extra something if you visit the salon in the weeks before Christmas and happen to have a close relationship with a stylist, but the equivalent of one session? Here in New York, you&amp;#x27;d likely be talking a tip of several hundred bucks (at least when it came to a colorist. Then you&amp;#x27;d also have to tip your hair cutter, who&amp;#x27;d be a different person.). How about you take this poll so we can see just how common holiday hairstylist tipping really is outside the world of theoretical etiquette. Do you give your hairstylist a holiday tip?(surveys) After you vote, tell me: Are you a holiday hairstylist tipper? Were you even aware of this holiday etiquette rule? Do you think whether or not you give your hairstylist a holiday tip should depend on how often you see him/her? If you were to do a holiday tip, how much would you give?
