it is just you...
most all hairdressers rent the space they use to cut hair..a large portion goes to the owner of the shop. that explains why,when they leave, they take your info with them,they let you know by postcard,where they have moved to. so you will continue to use them, no matter what shop they are at.
some shops require hair dressers to have thier own clientele when they hire them.
same with food service. because they work with food..they make
less than minimum wage. they depend on their tips.
at a minimum you should tip 10%.
we tip very well, because we have both worked in the service industry. it is a hard life.
