WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s Monday, you have the whole week looming ahead, and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: Reader Susan Kearns sent us this dilemma last week and it had us all nodding in agreement. When you’ve just paid approximately a zillion euro to get your hair trimmed by three milimetres, the common practice is to tip the hairdresser or barber a bit extra. It’s all a bit Irish isn’t it? What do you think? Mad or fair?

Vote here: Do you tip in the hairdressers?

Poll Results:

Sometimes, if I'm feeling lucky (2730)

Never, I just paid approx. 567 euro to get my hair dyed (2196)

Always, I'm not a scab (1201)

Let us know how much you tip in the comments section. And if you have a question burning inside you, share it with us by email at tips@thejournal.ie
