More broadly, they found tipping isn't quite keeping up with inflation: "GlossGenius data shows that overall tipping activity across the US remains steady, with the average gratuity for beauty services rising just over 1% compared to this time last year," explains Danielle Cohen-Shohet, CEO and Founder of GlossGenius.
While this may sound discouraging at first, it’s a positive sign that people are still opting to thank their stylists at a time that’s financially tough on everyone.
