20% is fine for a haircut. It's perfectly acceptable.

  No it's not. Hair stylists should set there prices accordingly in a way that they make a livable wage.

    Some places hairstylists are more like contractors who actually pay to get a seat to cut peoples hair in. So tipping is a larger portion of their income.

      If they are employees they can negotiate a living wage. They all should band together and ask more if it is not livable. In fact, we all should stop to frequent places that exploit employees by not paying them a livable wage. And if the solution to this means an increase in price, so be it. The defense of 'they might be contractors', which rent a seat for a fixed price or on a % revenue sharing with the salon is even more ridiculous. They are contractors, so they have all the means to set their own price.

  20% was fine when haircuts were a lot cheaper. My barber and most in the area have increased their prices significantly. 20% at $20 isn't bad. When my haircut is now pushing 35-40 range it becomes harder to stomach.
