Well last year when cuts were $10 and I left her $12, I can see I was giving her 20%. Now that prices went up to $13 and I left her $15, I guess I actually shorted her by now leaving 15%. I know mine does not make minimum wage from the owner and she does get me in when I like so maybe I'd better take it up to $3 for a cut. Only if I have a regular appt near Christmas, do I give her a small gift but I do not make a special point of seeing her at Christmas otherwise. Thanks for all the answers -20% sounds about standard.
