Tipping hair and make up artists who come to your home

Daniela, on April 11, 2021 at 4:20 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 25

My hair alone is going to cost me $450 without travel fees for the artist. Am I supposed to tip?

    That is definitely on the high end price-wise but regardless of how much you're paying for the service, yes you should tip

    I hope your hairs getting wrapped in gold! Wow that’s high end! But yes if that’s the price unfortunately tipping 20% is customary.

    Yes you should tip unless your contract states that gratuity is included.

    Yes. You tip anyone that provides you a service.

    You should tip for hair and makeup. But that is extremely expensive for hair! Where do you live?

    Okay, maybe that's why it's more, although that doesn't include travel fees. I am not sure what hair stylists typically cost in that area, but in Cleveland, OH most I've seen are $100-200 for bridal hair.

    Yes you should tip! Recommend tip is 15-20% of overall cost. The artist must really know what they are doing to charge that price!

    For that kind of money, she better be bringing a tiara along. Are you sure the tip isn't already included? Some restaurants do this. At 20% beyond $450, I wouldn't be surprised. She probably gets stiffed regularly.

    It’s not included but she is freelance so all of the payment is going to her that’s why it’s a bit tricky. She also is charging a $75 travel fee not included in that price.

    Yes. Unless the owner is doing your H&MU, it is customary to tip in the US.
