Do you still tip when going to someones house for a servive?

Hairdresser wants to color my hair at her home and not the shop she works in, do I tip?

Yes, I would tip.

 

She's still performing a service for you.

Of course.  The location doesn't matter.

My hairdresser comes to my house but refuses to accept a tip so I take care of her at the holidays.

Just curious--why doesn't your hairdresser want to color your hair at the shop she works at?

Unless she has all the licenses & health permits to conduct her hairdressing business out of her home, doing 'side jobs' like this always catches up with them.

 

My answer would be 'yes', tip her.  

 

It'll be some cash to tide her over when the salon finds out & they'll fire her...or worse case, the city finds out she's breaking all sorts of code & fines start to mount. 

 

Everyone has a close bond w/ their hairstylist...I do, too.  But never in a million years would I go over to Richard's house to get my hair styled/colored.   No matter how good of a job, it's illegal & that's something I don't want to be a part of.

my hairdresser is in her home and yes, I have always tipped but felt it was  ridiculous She  should have her prices built in without tip.   Yes she is using her water and electricity, build that in your price.

Personally I wouldn't go to her house, that's just me.  My stylist is the owner of the salon and one of her other stylists can do my hair if mine isn't available.  If I am correct, she can be fired if that salon finds out she's doing hair at home.. maybe a health reason but still..

Yes, If she has a business license at her home. Does the salon allow her to do this? If she rents her station she can do this, instead of a chain. There's a few home salons here. (one chair)
