The best tip(s) ever!
 
So I have a client that is always very generous with her tips, she comes occasionally for blow dries and tips me $200 every time I see her. This week she comes one day for me to remove her hair extensions.. and tips me $1000! And then she comes back the next day for me to put new extensions on her hair and tips me another $1000!. She is such a thoughtful and pleasant woman too, bless her.. you have no idea how particular some of my clients are..

I thought this was about tips as in 'how to remove stains or how to save money etc' ;)
But wow you sure do have generous clients. :)

Do you offer 'extra special services' to get these tips?

I bet if you'ld fly down to FL to give Ray a haircut, he'd give you a big tip too....;)

Oh my goodness. Is she stupid? How does one accept that much money gracefully? And if you gave her 500 back, would she try to tip you 5000 next time LOL

Aspen - land of the obscenely wealthy. Bet she carries that around on her as pocket change.

Wowie.

So, does that mean that you have really high operating costs? And that some crazy bat might want to sue you because their bangs dont flick/sit "properly"?

Would it be graceful to laugh like a madman, yell "So long, sucker!!" and run away jumping and clicking my heels?

No.

she must have money to burn tipping that much, she needs to look around her country at the starving peeps on the streets or donate it to the sick and needy :curse:

I'm sure you wouldn't say that if you'd received that tip. In any case, the client may well give generously to charities but neither you or I know.

err and how do you know :confused:

i had thought of that however she needs to donate more coz her country has starving people.

And what are you doing to help those starving people? You live in the US too, just like the OP and her client.

Make that the world. Are you going to suggest next that the waiter, waitress or cook tell her to be sure that she eats everything on her plate because people are starving through the world.
