I’m so happy to be alive during the era of JVN

I love how you answer each question by keeping the feelings and perspective of both the hairdressers and the clients in mind. I thought you answered in an honest, realistic way and encouraged compassion. You are such a good source of knowledge and expertise. 😘🥰

I'm such an over tipper but when I'm happy I show them the money lol. My hair stylist moved to another salon after covid, I couldn't find her, and it took me 2 years to trust someone I've known for over 15 years and had done hair that entire time to touch my hair lol. I love my new stylist but I was able to find my old stylist at a new salon as my son was so attached to her and now he sees her! P.S. I can't wait to get your glossing treatment! ❤❤

I love my hairdresser, she's the BEST! I'm always early for appointments, I always sit with my feet level of the wee footstool so I don't get a wonky cut. She has an Old English Sheepdog, so we chat about our dogs. And I always get her a Christmas Present. She makes me look fantastic and she's worth every penny.

I got a haircut by a celebrity hairstylist in LA once and it wasn’t the greatest cut. It was well over $300. I had the highest exceptions and was so excited. The best haircut I’ve ever received was $30/500 Mexican pesos in Mexico. It’s worth the 11 month wait to receive the best hair treatment.

About the 25¢ tip, I used to do an older woman’s hair when I first started working at a salon over 35 years ago. Yes, I’m a old b.

She was dressed in older style clothing and was on retirement.

Her weekly salon wash-n-set was her splurge. A bit of “feel good” that she needed for herself.

Johnathan Van Ness is such a beautiful soul.

I wish the tipping question was more specific about tipping for regular cuts vs tipping for treatments, and whether you should scale your tip percent for higher priced cuts like those with a base price over $100 that have no color or other treatments

Before I stopped caring I used professional products, and whenever I'd tell them what I used there'd be a pause before they'd still try to sell me on their crack products. Like there are 100% salons and stylists that just want to push their garbage onto you. I'm sure ppl will asume I'm probably a moron and the stylists knew better, but my mom was a cosmetologist and I trust her unbiased opinion a lot more.

as a non-american it's very weird hearing someone say you really should tip your hairdresser. You guys, I hope it gets better over there <3

I good stylist is like a marriage. I’ll never leave her. When she asks me if I need change I’m always like gasp of course not. I also bring Starbucks or equivalent snacks. I trust this woman with my hair and she always gets it right. When I went through chemo she reshaped my outgrowth for free. She’s incredible.

I just found a curly hair salon in my area and got my first specifically curly hair cut. Gamechanger!!! I didn't even know curly specific salons existed!!!

I had a shaved pixie for years. I started growing it. Got it to my jawline, and asked a pricey stylist to trim to bangs, and take some of the weight out by shaping it without removing length. I had 4 photos of the same style from different angles of hair of the same length of what I wanted. She gave me a pixie instead.

Thank you for including question 7 abt breaking up w your stylist. I had one for yrs. Did a photoshoot out of state where my hair was styled by someone else and my longstanding stylist assumed I was breaking up w her. Instantly broke up w her bc of her thinking she owned my hair (using the back away method) and found a bomb ass stylist (and now great friend) who I’ve been w for several yrs. As Jonathan said, be thankful for the time and effort but recognize when it’s time to be up and on and be about that

[kristinriberdy]

Bless my stylist for including her tip in her cost. It just takes that stress away.

[ModestGirl]

I finally found a new stylist recently after like...years....of not going to ANYONE. And she is THE ONE. How do I know? She finished the cut and it was great and I said hmmm maybe I should color it and she said NO NO your grey hair is so flattering! And I was like this woman is telling me the TRUTH and I will always come back to her. Also we just talked about how much we love to eat the whole time and food is my love language so...love her.

[Nynke_K]

I found myself happy that haircuts are way cheaper where I live (in the countryside in the Netherlands) and also that we don't need to tip our hairdressers because they are paid fair wages, but maybe the only reason those things can both be true is lower expectations on my part? I just want my split ends cut out and even length 😅

[lindseymathers]
