A digital tool or resource assists patrons in determining appropriate gratuity for salon services. For example, a user might input the cost of their haircut and coloring, and the tool would calculate suggested tip amounts based on various percentages.
Such resources simplify the process of calculating gratuities, eliminating potential awkwardness or uncertainty for clients. Understanding customary tipping practices demonstrates appreciation for the stylist’s skill and effort. Historically, tipping has served as a significant portion of service industry compensation, reflecting the value placed on personalized service and expertise.
