Tipping hairdressers

Question:

I am newly arrived in Australia from the United States. I have been advised that tipping employees of many establishments is not customary here. My question is: do I tip the hairdresser and beauty therapist? I want to make sure I am giving my girls proper compensation.

Melissa, via email.

Answer:

No, unlike the United States, its not customary to tip your hairdresser or beauty therapist unless you feel you would like to show your appreciation. Your regular and continued patronage at a salon should be enough to ensure you get great service.
