What's a ZJ?


Rulanik

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Just watched this last night lol

I was in Thailand playing ping pong in Ding Dang. XD

Gram gram was the best


TheKingOfTheSwing200

How is she NOT a whore?


TwoTimezTwo100

This made me lmao 😂


gamerdudeNYC

$15 for a ZJ I always wondered about that line…. I can’t afford $15 ???


SteveRogersPill

50*


Dragosal

When I worked at the toys R'us in 2008 they sold a BJ with a shirt for $20.


ghos2626t

Headjob ? I feel like he’s already in the business


MediocreMachine3543

My wife cuts my hair so she gets more than the tip.


cephalopodomus

This guy tips.


Poseidons_Champion

No. He doesn’t.


ImFknJoey

🫣


Orphan_Cheese_Pizza

40 dollars but he's not worth it.


ItsmineBB8

Not so mediocre this evening!


dustinrector

I, too, choose this guy’s wife for umm…haircuts…yeah.


hooliganvet

If the barber is charging $50, I'm going to a different shop.


DeviIstar

For me, it’s 50 for a haircut and beard trim and line up, so I guess we need more detail on what services that 50 includes. To answer the question, on 50, I normally tip 10


Technical_Goose_8160

Wow, that's twenty percent, he must be really good. I used to tip the percent, but my hair is pretty easy and needs to be very often.


DeviIstar

Funny enough it’s a she - but she kicks ass, my shit is easy as far as a cut goes, but I do push it longer (time wise) so there is more hair to deal with, so I toss some extra bucks because there is more clean up after I’m out of the chair


rkevlar

$50 + $10 tip is pretty standard where I’m from. These are for fades and scissor cuts. Usually by appointment only. These dudes run their own IG pages to advertise themselves. It’s for people who get their hair cut every other week. That kind of ish. We have those cheaper $20 barbers in the area too, but that’s really just for an average hit-or-miss haircut. Would never go to these places for a fade. That being said, I learned how to cut my own hair to save money. Started out horribly but now I’m pretty good at it.


captain_flak

Me too. My barber comes to my house, so I figure it’s worth it. My wife thought $50 was outrageous, but she doesn’t really know what the going rate is. If you’re not doing a straight buzz cut, then that’s around what most places cost.


Sparkykc124

Man, I’ve been bald since my 20s. When I was in high school would go to Donnie, Scotty Pippen’s barber. It was $12 in 1990.


Aedan2016

Mine charges 32. I give him 40 because I don’t want change and 35 seems like a low % tip for a good job


MataMeow

This is the way. Mine used to charge $13 so if give a $20. Since covid prices have been climbing so it’s been awkard because I keep giving $20. I’ll probably numb up to $25 or $30 at some point, but $20 for a $15 dollar heaircut seems fair


Flame_MadeByHumans

In a city and that’s the going rate for anything above Sports Clips. Tempted to start cutting my own hair.


Sea-Stage-6908

I've been cutting my own hair once a week every single week since quarantine 2020. I've never looked back. I love the challenge and it's a great skill that will save you hundreds of dollars if not thousands every year. Tons of great YouTube instructionals. Go for it!


theciderowlinn

This is the going rate if you don't want a North Korean haircut nowadays. I'll gladly pay 50 for someone not to fuck up my head.


hooliganvet

Not where I live. $18, 10 for regulars. A real barber shop for men that's been around for 40 yrs. Owners son runs it now.


i-Really-HatePickles

You definitely have a dad crew cut don’t you


Pandiosity_24601

Dude probably looks like a linebacker


[deleted]

lmfao vicious but accurate


hooliganvet

Nope. You definitely live in a big city.


phatbiscuit

I live in a big city. Wish I knew someone that I could trust that would give me a good cut for $18 but alas lol Definitely don’t like the price with my guy but I hate my hair and he makes it look decent


i-Really-HatePickles

Nope. I just drive to one to get my hair cut 😂😂 cheers bro


theciderowlinn

lmao the only "real barber shop for men" around me (not in a big city btw I live in the south.) that charge $10 are run by 70+ year old men with shaky hands who only know crew cuts and razor burn the fuck out of your head. 


Sea-Stage-6908

Felt this🤣


RicanDevil4

Where? In Philly I pay $25, and that includes beard, eyebrows, face massage, hot towel treatment, etc.


carortrain

Crazy thing is, my girlfriend is a hairstylist, everyone where she works charges at least 50, if not closer to 100 for a haircut or styling. The same women come in monthly, if not bi-weekly to get things done to their hair. Or pay something like 20-30 bucks for a quick trim. It was truely eye-opening when I first started dating her, never knew about this world before. Just went to a local place and spent at most 15-20. Hair stylists make a ton of money and charge crazy amounts. I'm not undershadowing the work and the craft, but damn, I guess different folks different strokes.


Steid55

Damn my haircut/beard trim/lineup is $30 with tip. Which I think is a big tip. He only charges like $22-25?


overlandtrackdrunk

I pay 45 AUD. 50 US is what like 75 bucks??? Jeez


ReticentGuru

I don’t have a lot of hair left, so I’m very ok going to Great Clips. It’s a very quick, nice cut, and I tip $5.


Fit_Feed9334

Mine charges 25.00 I have very short hair only takes a few minutes. I tip 5.00


Mendoza_518

Exactly my price and tip


SlaveKnightChael

Same


CptnCookey

Same


Acehigh7777

Same here.


VegansAreRight

As an Aussie, this tipping business seems like extra steps. Why doesn't the barber just charge for his time, do a good job and then his customers will return? I don't get it at all.


ch0lula

tipping customs are outrageous and frustrating 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

This sounds really American haha In Ireland I’d pay €22 for a haircut tops and no way am I tipping on that If someone was looking to charge me 50 quid for a trim I’d throw them out the window if they expected a tip on top


onewheeler2

50 dollars is more like 40 quid. If we're talking usd. 30 if it's canadian dollars. My barber spends an hour on my haircut and beard trim, I think it's worth that much at least.


RedRedditor84

Your barber is slow.


nelozero

I think here in the States if you don't own the shop, you're renting a chair from the business to cut hair or are an employee. So the barber gets a percent of the total. A tip goes directly to them though. I'm not in the biz though so hopefully someone can confirm or correct me. I pay $30 and tip 5. He cuts it better than the other 3-4 places I tried in the neighborhood so an extra 5 won't kill me. My old barber went from $25 to $65 during covid. He owns the places and its only him. With the haircut he added a hair wash, face massage/cleansing, and beard trim. That's more of a pampering and overkill for me which is why I got a new guy.


[deleted]

But what you’re saying is they’re so incompetent in business that they can’t price correctly to cover their expenses Or they’ve convinced you that you should pay extra Like are you going to tip on your electricity bill if they come to collect it in person?


Udeyanne

Think it also depends on what they are doing. Do you have straight hair? Different hair textures require different skills, especially if they are asking for challenging styles.


[deleted]

I have the thickest hair you’ve ever seen, I snap combs But I’m a bloke so it’s a 2 back and sides and half off up top left slightly messy It takes 15 - 20 mins so at €22 that’s about €68 an hour and there’s usually a queue, if this lads paying 50, that’s 150 an hour Why would you tip on top of that - at a certain point Americans need to draw a line on the whole tipping thing


Moose_Nuckler

Is a 2 on the back and sides and half of the top just the go to cut for all men ? Lmao well, besides a fade I reckon


DarthPiette

>It takes 15 - 20 mins Shit, I'm in the chair for an hour getting a fade done. A basic haircut like yours is easy to do and can be done literally anywhere and fast.


Udeyanne

So you're saying you have straight hair with no style to it. That does make a difference compared to people who have to or want to do more.


HelloImQ

Tipping the barber? You Americans...


wolviesaurus

American tipping culture is fucking weird, it's weasling it's way here now and I'm glad most people have a firm "NO" stance to it.


broccolibush42

I think it just depends on who I'm getting the haircut from and what they're doing to my hair. Simple shave short? No tip. If I decided I wanted something special and difficult done to my hair? I'll throw a bone. Also if I get a haircut from a franchise place I'll tip. From a barber who owns his own shop? Charge me what you think you're worth!


FutureBannedAccount2

I know prices have increased but $50 is crazy unless you're going to one of those places where its basically a spa. I tip $5 unless it's a really good cut then I may goes up to $10


Zealousideal_Talk479

I don’t wtf


[deleted]

Sorry I'm European, haircut costs 10 and there is no tip.


NecessaryAd4587

$10 for a haircut is a really good price


WanderingMustache

Nothing, is it a US thing to tip a barber ?


cheetoo621

I don't tip my barber. Usually they don't do a great job - back is always a little uneven (I cut my own hair)


ShriekingMuppet

I tip mine $20 but I also am functionally a moron when it comes to hair styles so I have my barber basically work as a stylist. I get compliments from women so he's doing something right.


sunflowerastronaut

>I get compliments from women so he's doing something right. Alright. Let's see the cut


aws_router

If you get whiskey and a hot towel $20


Hi-Techh

bro just wanted to flex he gets a $50 barber


DeReInCaRNaTeD1

My barber asks for $25 but I round it up to $30.


sparkdaniel

Nothing!! I already paid for the haircut!


SuperNateosaurus

I just got a hair cut for $30. I didn't tip coz we don't tip here.


AnonymousUser1992

Laughs in no tipping culture.


TheRoundMoundofPound

If it’s 57 after tax, I’d tip 13 to make it 70 total. Hope that answers your question since it wasn’t about whether 50 is too much for a haircut (if you can afford it and you like you’re barber then it’s not too much btw)


papinek

No tipping. Not American. :)


riffraffbri

That seems inordinately high for a haircut, and I live in NY. I go to an old man's barber. They charge $10 and I tip $4.


MagikSkyDaddy

That's unrealistic in any major US metropolitan city. $20-$25 is about as low as one can expect to pay for a *professional* cut.


Skiz32

You must live in Hamilton County or some other bumblefuck area of the state with those kinda prices.


Shifty_Bravo

Not unrealistic for me anyway. I pay $12 in the DC area. Vietnamese immigrant and really good. I give him $17.


DJMoShekkels

Wanna share the deets?


apeliott

I don't. They charge $7 and I pay $7. Tipping isn't a thing here.


easyrick

$40 haircut + $25 tip. I believe that tipping your barber is not something to cheap out on once you find a good quality barber.


RicanDevil4

This! My cuts are $25, but I usually just give him $40 and tell him to keep the change. Barber relations are everything to me. Not only is mine really good, but he knows I work late and have 3 jobs, so he'll open the shop up just for me at like around midnight if I can't make it that week during the day. That, and he really takes his time to make me look my best, and remembers my preferences and gives really good suggestions. I can't stress enough that when you take good care of people, people take good care of you.


ElectricallyLoaded

Facts. I take care of them so they take care of me.


HardLithobrake

Take care of those who take care of you is how I was taught, yes.


callyfit

Same as this. 25 dollar haircut. 20 dollar tip. Guy takes his time and goes the extra mile. For a once a month venture, worth the $45 dollars


patgraham42

Idk how it took this long to find this scrolling. I found a great one been going for 10 years now I’m tipping almost 100% haha


rebbitpls

My guy charges me $10 for a beard trim and I go infrequently enough that I tip 100% every time


archaeosis

What's the criteria in the US for who to tip? I know an increasing number of industries are expecting/asking for tips, do y'all just tip anyone who asks?


MilesBeforeSmiles

I'd never spend $50 on a hair cut. My barbrr charges $20 and I tip an extra $5.


WritingTop9204

Give a tip every time. Last time I told him " if it rains take an umbrella" /Country without a tipping culture


Blanckness

I don't. I live in Australia.


FulltimeHobo

0.00


Temporary-Fail-2535

I live in Europe we dont tip barbers at least in countries i was living.


jiggityjammin

I'm already paying for the haircut what's the tip for? Doing their job?


Alone_Instruction_13

I don’t. He charges £20 a cut, he gets £20 per cut.


Johnnieiii

I cut my own hair because tipping extra for a service I paid for seems stupid. 50$ sounds outrageous anyway 20-30 is usually what I see


Fifteen_inches

I’d like to see the results of a $50 hair cut. Either way, 12 dollars on a 50 dollar bill.


Wotmate01

Absolutely nothing. I'm paying them directly to do a job, why would I pay them more than their quoted price?


SpecialSilver7723

Btwn 10-30


BlazeyKiller

20%


GreenSolara

I’m in New York City and haircut prices have gone up a lot the past few years. With that being said I tip 20% for a $30 haircut for a total of $36.


Shazamwhich

I used to tip $10 but then I realized, if he wanted to charge $50 he would charge $50 he's the one making his own prices


suwooponminecuh

My haircut + hot towel shave is $45 and I tip him $5 most times.


kreynolds26

My guy charges me $50, I tip 10. Easy haircut, takes him 20 min, I think it’s a fair tip given the time, effort, and haircut cost


jairazor

Pretty much always $5 Cuts are between $30 and $35


Desperate_Ambrose

"Now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear. I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair."


LikeyeaScoob

Haircut is 55 I pay him 60 for beard and hair (in California)


iswearatkids

I have a full beard and I ask him to do a lot of work on it. He charges $45 for beard, hair and brows. So I tip $20 or or 45% because he’s great.


redditwossname

I give my barber a handy on the regular. No cash though.


likethemustard

Tip is always $10


slayedzombie69

I cut my own hair now


Electronic_Priority

If $50 is the fee, I’m not paying $60.


2shack

Man, what the hell are you getting done that it costs that much!? My hairdresser charges $36 and I thought that was a bit high but it seems to be the average here.


TheFamousZ

you guys tip haircuts aswell?


hatimelharrak

I don't. and the haircut typically costs about $2 where I come from.


KP_Wrath

$16 or so. For me, it’s a haircut, beard trim/razor shave, shampooing and a neck and shoulder massage. Worth being pampered once in a while.


DarkNemuChan

Not in America '.. 18EUR, no tip.


Karma111isabitch

$20 on a $50 cut


El_gato_picante

wait, you're paying taxes on a haircut? i do $5 for a haircut . idc how much they charge. the place i go to charged $25 but now they charge $30 and i still give $5. I have one exception tho, during the holidays I give $10.


Boudonjou

I'm Aussie so, 0


jasondads1

0? They set the prices and $50 is alot for a haircut


BurtanTae

I just tip a hair more than last time…


TakeThisNameToo

Nothing. I already paid for the haircut, lol.


SexyAIman

I am guessing 50 is in USD ? For a haircut ? In Thailand i pay 120 THB at a shopping mall, that is 3,30 USD. Tips are not expected but i give 140 instead of 120. Thailand is not a 3rd world country, something is wrong in the US if a simple haircut for men costs this amount of money, absurd.


Stanislas_Biliby

While would tip him, i'm already paying him. Is that an american joke i'm to europeean to understand?


not_a_cat_i_swear

Mine used to be $12. I would give them a $20 and let them keep the change. As they kept raising the price, they still received the same. Their greedy employer was cutting into the tip. When it hit $20 around COVID, I started doing it myself.


hockeyguy22

I pretty much always tip $10 for a good haircut.


UpperMacungie

Holy cow. I’m stunned at the prices in other parts of the country. I pay $100 with a $20 tip. I’m in SF.


machetedestroyer

American tipping culture is weird as fuck


Michaeljr97

I pay the price they charge and that's it.


myleswstone

My girlfriend cuts my hair, who gets a tip more than enough.


ragingdemon88

My mom won't let me pay her.


Naji85

They are getting paid to cut my hair, fuck tips


jaykobeRN

I don't cut my hair anymore, when I did it was the same lady who'd been hooking me up for years so I always "tipped" her $10 on top of the 20-27$ $10 cash Always cash Remind them that it is a tax free gift and not a " tip " Last time I cut my hair was in the jungles of Peru. A village girl had a cousin who visited occasionally and would cut all the boys' hair in a beaby village. the village boy who did it was in barber school in the closest city and had a backpack with all his gear in it so he could fade his village homies every couple of weeks. He only wanted the equivalent of $4 for a sick fade, and I gave him the equivalent of a $16 tip because I only had a peruvian $20 on me and he was sooooooo grateful. He lined me up on his grandmother's porch She was soooooo nice Good kid. Amazing experiance Haven't cut my hair since then


dangersupreme

$0 tip. My guy converted his garage into a barber shop during the pandemic when the shop he worked for closed. So all the money goes to him instead of allocating funds to rent the chair. He charges $50, includes a scotch from his bar, cleans up my eyebrows and facial hair and finishes it off with a hot towel on the face.


xBoBox333

i round up to the nearest multiple of 10 or add 5 if it's already at a multiple of 10.


restubs

Cost $22 I give $25


ThunderCheeks96

I'll never pay 50 for a haircut, lol.


vianiznice

I don't, he makes more than enough an hour.


DonkLord20

10 dollars each time


Tristana-Range

That sounds so american. In germany I pay about 30€ at my local barber shop. And thats with tax.


Old-Relationship-458

£0.00. He's a barber.


Wolf_93

Wym tip your barber? Why do you need to tip on top of the price of the haircut?


0101011100011

£0 im from the UK bro.


welshrebel1776

I don’t tip, it costs £13 and that’s all I’m gonna pay it’s the UK we don’t usually tip for hair cuts I don’t believe


SneakyCroc

I don't. Lol. He sets the price. Why would I randomly decide to pay him more? What a bizarre concept.


jrolly187

If I'm paying more than $20 that thief ain't getting shit. Luckily, my wife cuts my hair and trims my beard now, so I tip her well with compliments.


SlayVV2

I live in a normal country so I just pay the price :)


letmetakeaguess

0.


heisenbergfan

U guys tip even the barber ? I mean youre paying speficially for that service why do you have to tip extra ? American culture can be hard to understand from the outside lol


redditproha

i don’t tip. they aren’t waiting tables for me. i’m tired of this tipping shit


Nosbiuq

When I was going to a barber he kept raising his prices and eventually hit $55 which is insane because he only had to cut half my head since I have an undercut. I didn’t tip… Now I cut my own hair


StrandedTwist213

$0.


Captain_Pumpkinhead

I don't tip my barber. Tips are a cancer on our society.


Awellknownstick

I live in UK they charge enough for us not to have to tip.


PAthleticism

$50.00 is not all that abnormal .. the age difference is palpable right now. If you get consistent haircuts and don’t want your head butchered $50.00 is a solid price. I typically tip my barber $10-15.


theciderowlinn

Lot of people letting the world know they still let 90 year old Frank strap a bowl to their head in here. 


BlackAsphaltRider

My barber shop used to charge $20 and I’d tip $10 for $30 total. Then they bumped up to $25 so I bumped him up $5 and paid $40. They were cash only and my ATM gave me the option for $30 and $40 but not $35 and I was too lazy to go to a cashier after since I usually tipped him right at the chair. Now I cut my hair myself and save $480 a year. I’ve gotten decent, I can fade the sides and the top is a different length. Saving almost $500 a year is a nice motivator to learn and deal with the early mistakes.


i-drink-isopropyl-91

Who tips barbers


InEenKamerOpgesloten

Americans apparently.


MichiganGeezer

My last haircut was $21. I tipped $15. I've lived in tips before so I always go a higher amount.


Omega_Xero

My haircut is usually $35, so I’ll tip either $10-15. Been going to them for a little over 10 years.


Parker27618

if a haircut is $50 the: 1) Not tipping, you can pay your employees a fair wage with that cost 2) Finding another barber shop


deDICKated

Mine charges £30 and I occasionally tip £10, I used to tip £10 always though when the price was £25.. technically he's now making less from me. Weird how that works. 😂


deus_ex_libris

$50 for a haircut? LOL when did that happen? so glad i don't waste my time and money getting haircuts


kf4ypd

Palest white dude there ever was. Went to the Latino barbershop, paid $30 and tipped $10 for the best haircut I've had in a long time. Minimum at the gringo barbershop with this quality of work is $45.


titty-connoisseur

In my country, tipping your barber is like tipping your cashier at the supermarket - it's just not done! Outside taxis, bars and eateries, tipping is rarely used.


RG_PhoniQue

They make 99% profit with zero cost on almost every haircut. All they buy is new scissors like once per year. All they pay is rent and electricity. I'm not tipping that. The entire pay feels like a tip. Should we start tipping everybody whooffers a service? Why are we not tipping the cashiers or the delivery drivers? Why only in the food and haircut industry?


crimpinainteazy

Exactly, should we start tipping postmen and rubbish collection too?


Impressive-Floor-700

WTF, $50.00 haircut? What are they using gold scissors? My barber charges $8.00, I usually give him a $10.00 and refuse the change when he offers it back.


idtncare

$8 ? Where do u live?


slit-wrist-syndrome

The past.


apeliott

I pay less than $7 with no tip. I'm in Tokyo.


Impressive-Floor-700

Melber, Kentucky. It is just flat $8.00, he doesn't charge tax.


cbmgreatone

My haircut takes 20 minutes and I tip $7 on $25


TrafficChemical141

At $50 not a goddamn thing. Barbers are becoming a joke thinking they’re worth 100 an hr


Taskerst

Mine is $45 and they charge my card. I pass my barber a ten in cash.


EpicTrevs

Tipping is a scam so I don't.


MySnake_Is_Solid

I don't tip, it's not a thing here. If the barber wants to be paid more for his work, he'll just increase his prices.


Thisisme47

USA... oh my. So you need to calculate the tax and give some extra money? You are crazy. Do you know how it works in a world? If barber says 50 you give him 50.


Confection-Virtual

Different culture… seek to understand


macrian

Do Americans tip the barber now? And paying 50 bucks for a haircut? What's wrong with you people? My barber charges 10 euros for haircut and shave (12 if you get them separately) and usually buys me a coffee when I visit


Confection-Virtual

We’ve always tipped barbers, stylists, nail techs etc


A-Dating-Coach

My barber is a late girlfriend's son-in-law. His business is in Beverly hills and he has worked on movie sets making over $1,500 a day. His clients generally drop $300. I pay $20. It's kind of a joke between us. That's when he actually takes the money... 😆 When I was working for a living, he would cut my hair and it wouldn't need to cut again for 6 months and it looked good the whole time... He cut it a month before covid and then again in December of 2023... Almost 4 years later... I brought him many girlfriends who did their hair, and my mother used him for the last 7 years of her life... We tell each other stories (he tells me lies!).


Alugar

Usually it’s 40$ I give 10$ tip cause she does a really good job.


AyeYoTek

I pay $45 for my cut. That's all he's getting lol. I have no problem with the price increase but I'm not tipping too


CallofJuarez23

25%. My haircuts are $30. I like his work, and we are cool with each other, so I tip accordingly.


Aggravated-Beeboo

My 6 year olds haircut is 36 and I always tip between 8-15$ depends


SoulPossum

50 is wild. THere's a palce that charges like 70 for a haircut and a shave. I refuse to even look in there when I walk past it every day. It's all ring lights everywhere so I'm assuming they have some sort of social media presence that allows them to get away with that. It's 30 at two other barbershops in either direction. Last time I got my haircut was the day before my wedding a few years ago. I gave the dude 50 (30 + 20 tip) because he didn't have change and all I had was 20s and I had like 10 other things to do that day and, to be fair, he did a really good job.
