Tipping culture in the US has long been a topic of debate, with many people finding it inconvenient due to its ambiguity and sometimes high cost. Recently, a woman named Justice from Chicago sparked controversy when she admitted to not tipping her hairdresser after paying $350 for a seven-and-a-half-hour hair braiding session.
Justice, a personal trainer, explained that while she typically tips when getting her hair done, she felt that the total cost of the service already provided a profitable wage for the hairstylist. She reasoned that the rate she paid, averaging to around $46 an hour, was fair considering the time and effort involved in creating small knotless French curl braids. Justice also noted that the hairstylist worked from home, saving on commute expenses and overhead costs.
