Why We Don’t Accept Tips at Our Salon
One of the first things new clients often notice when booking with us is this: we don’t accept tips. That’s not a glitch or an oversight. It’s intentional. And if it feels a little surprising, you’re not alone. Tipping has become such a standard part of the salon experience that not tipping can almost feel wrong.
But for us, this policy is rooted in something important: transparency, respect, and fair pricing for everyone.
We Believe in Transparent Pricing
At our salon, what you see is what you pay. No mental math. No awkward end-of-service guesswork. We want our guests to feel confident booking appointments and choosing services without having to calculate what a 20 percent tip on a balayage or color correction might look like.
Our pricing reflects the time, skill, and care that goes into your service. You don’t need to add anything extra to show your appreciation. It’s already built in.
Tipping Culture Can Feel Unclear
Tipping often creates confusion, especially for new clients or those trying a service for the first time. Some wonder how much is appropriate. Others feel pressure to tip even if their budget is tight. And in a profession where stylists are trained artists and experts, tipping can sometimes unintentionally suggest that their base rate isn’t enough. We don’t believe that should ever be the case.
By eliminating tips, we’re saying clearly: our work is worth what we charge, and you don’t have to prove your gratitude with extra dollars. A happy client who feels amazing walking out the door is thanks enough.
We Pay Our Stylists Fairly
Our team is compensated with intention and care. Because we don’t rely on tipping to supplement their income, we’re able to offer a consistent, reliable structure that supports professional growth and long-term sustainability. That’s better for our team and better for you too.
You Deserve a Stress-Free Salon Experience
You’re here to feel cared for, not to do math or worry about etiquette. We want the focus to be on you—your hair, your self-care, your time. Not the total on a checkout screen or whether you’re tipping “enough.”
