I thanked him profusely. He was really pleased and took a picture with his phone.

It would cost me twenty some bucks to uber back and forth to the shop.

I think I'll just let it go and make it up to him next time. I think he'd be uncomfortable if I mailed a check.

We do email; I'll send him a note telling him my hair still looks great on my  birthday.

@lavendar 

Have a Very Happy Birthday!  
You are only a few months older than me, and we know we have many good times ahead!

Bet you look really pretty!

I would just let it be with the hair stylist.

I have a tipping question....we just had our lawn guy do weeding & mulch.  He's his own boss and can make up the amount that he charges.  He and his helper were here for 5 hours weeding & mulching. 

He charged $950.00 and he likes cash.  I only had $960.00.  I told my DH to give him the $960.00 and keep the change.  

Would you give extra for a tip?  This is confusing to me.  He's the owner and his own boss.

This kind of tipping is so confusing. Hair salons, tipping has been pretty standard for a long time. Today everyone expects a tip. I go with my gut feelings. Not everyone gets a tip.

I want to thank you for being considerate of your stylist.   Mistakes happen.  Since it would be a special trip with added cost for the Uber, I'd send your stylist a message or email.  Explain the error and that you'll square up next time.  I'm sure they'll understand and appreciate it.

She paid over $200.00, which included his fee for the service and a tip, what is there to square up?  

If he does not already appreciate her and her business for 30 years, the error is his.

Did you read her OP, @Iwantcoffee?  She clearly stated that she gave him less than she intended by mistakenly giving him the incorrect currency.

@haddon9   Getting paid in cash = "under the table" payment = no taxes.  That amount of "under the table" payment he is charging you is the tip as he is NOT paying taxes on it.  

I would have asked if he had $10 as I do not have the exact amount.  If not, I would have said, "you know where to find me" as he goes off to get my change.  I hope you got a receipt!

@lavendar , I've done the same.  I didn't say or do anything and the next visit just tipped her more to cover the last time.
