Do you tip a hair stylist who sets her own rate?

Gen, on April 19, 2019 at 2:09 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 2

Per my previous post, I had my hair trial yesterday and absolutely loved it. The stylist I'm using works for a salon, but she's doing my wedding-hair on her day off and she set her own rate, and she said I can pay her through Venmo/Zelle or in cash. I'm not sure how to handle tipping in this situation, since she is setting her own rate and I'm paying her directly--not through the salon. (Btw, she did the trial for free but I tipped her generously for that!)

Am I supposed to tip her for the day-of, given the situation?

    Yes. Most wedding hair and makeup artists aren’t thru a salon but you should always tip. I paid mine thru Venmo as well and tipped 20% on all services.

    Thank you! Just wasn’t sure the etiquette since I know it’s a thing with photographers that you don’t have to tip if they set their own rates
