It seems wonderfully generous to me.

I would have tipped $6, but maybe that reflects a difference between European and American tipping.
Or maybe I am meaner than I think?

not mean , just cheap.......;-)

I tip 20% unless the service was poor. If the service was poor, I tip 15%. After all? Their employer pays them with the assumption that they will earn 15% in tips. Often, this means their paycheck reflects an hourly rate of less than the going rate.

Thanks for the answers, I suppose I was just above the 20% do that's good :) I go to this particilar salon & lady sometimes when I'm in her neighborhood as she's quite efficient & good.

Some reason I felt this time she frowned at my tip which according to me was just fine.

As a bodywork therapist, this tip would make my whole freaking day. Its generous indeed!

If I am ever in a position where I feel my tip is unappreciated, I would definitely let the management know. Because a tip should be appreciated, but never expected. The lady who performed the services likely makes a good wage and probably even has health insurance. Maybe she was having a bad day?

most people in that type of job, don't make an hourly wage they make a commisssion per customer.. for example , i work at a mens barber shop... I don't make an hourly, but i made 60% on every hair cut i give... sooo the hair cut is 15.00 i make 60% of that.... which when we are busy is great.. and when slow, not so great.. but im a huslter so i make great money.... so tips are truly appreciated, but the S who posted this question, did indeed tip handsomely. :-)

Interesting... but even if she made 60% of $57, that is a good wage, right??

Either way, when it comes to hair I believe in over tipping. I give my girl $20-$30 bucks for a $75 cut and style.

Pizza guy, taxi guy, bartender, waitress... everyone else is on a different playing field. But anyone who touches my tresses? Holier than though.
