I have been going to my hairdresser for two years. I just had my hair cut and highlighted two days ago. I tipped him the cost of a haircut ($60). I would not give her a quilt if I were you. It is a lovely idea, but let your relationship grow over the next year before you do something like that. If I had only been to this hairdresser twice, I just would have given him a "regular" tip and been done with it.
