GIFT IDEAS FOR HAIR STYLIST?

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

I'm at a loss. I usually spend between $25-$30...the same as my tip. Last year was a Basso throw that she loved. Since she's a stylist and can probably purchase all perfumes, bath gels, candles, etc. wholesale (& I dislike giving fragrance anyway)...Any ideas? Gift cards seem thoughtless!

She doesn't wear jewelry to salon, so don't know her preferences or would make her something.

TIA

when I had a long time stylist I gave some little gifts, but then I just gave a bigger tip at the end of the year. most people have enough "junk" and can use the money.

funny thing haven't had a long time one in years

I have never known a hairstylist who does not apprciate cash as a gift. They do not find it insulting and are very happy to receive it.

a gift card to a place I like isn't thoughtless

just need to know where they go

I would give her an extra tip. I imagine that hair stylists are the same as teachers - they have many clients, if everyone gave them a trinket gift it becomes too much. My MIL was a teacher, while she appreciated every gift she received most of them she couldn't or wouldn't use. Everyone can use extra cash.

Am checking out a few stores today for maybe a wool/cashmere scarf w/ matching gloves. Gave that to my cleaning lady last year and she seemed happy. You never know. People rewrap and regift.

@jackthebear If I do gift cards, it's usually Amazon...they have it all.

I'm giving mine gloves this year (along with an extra tip).

I've never had anyone say they didn't like cash or a gift card. I usually give mine a gift card to a steak house. Her husband is a beef eater and she loves fish. They can both get a meal to their liking and be happy.
