I’ve been downvoted to oblivion for saying this before too lol. Tattoo artists, barbers, stylists, etc literally set their own rates. They have full control over what they charge you. They can even turn down certain requests. If they think their work is worth more than they charge…..they should just increase the price?? Like, I get accepting tips when they’re offered, but to expect it when you’re the one setting the price is ridiculous.

I get my hair done at a tip-free salon, it’s amazing! All the stylists set their own prices and they explicitly say no tipping

Edit: For context I’m in the USA.

Same here! My stylist switched to fully gratuity free this year and I love it.

Did they raise their price?

About 10%! But I usually tipped 18-20% so it has actually made my appointments more affordable :)

I wonder what it's like from their side earning ~8-10% less now across the board. Especially with this inflation.

Better some clients then none.

May get little to no tips from customers so maybe it works out.
