Q: I'm getting my hair cut by the salon owner. Am I supposed to tip her?

Technically, no, you don't have to. But I've noticed lately that people are breaking that old rule. Many women say they keep tipping once their stylist becomes an owner, just because they always have. NYC salon owner Adrian De Berardinis tells me that about half of his clients tip: "I will accept it, but I don't expect it," he says. So it's really your call. If you're not sure, do what I do: Ask someone at the front desk!
