I went to the salon to get my hair colored, blow dried and styled. The stylist was really nice, and she did a pretty good job. My problem with this place was that at the end, I noticed on my bill that they had automatically added %20 gratuity. Now, I would have given that much to the stylist, but I'm not a big fan of it being imposed on me. Regardless, then I asked the girl at the front desk if this was going to my stylist... She answered: "well, *part* of it.". I said, "excuse, me, what do you mean". She repeated, "part of the gratuity goes to the styilst". OK. Well, I won't be back here again! Why does the salon (or hotel?) need gratuity? Don't they own the joint in the first place? And with the amount they charged ($264), I think they're making a killing here!
It left a real bad taste in my mouth. And I feel bad for the stylist, she deserves that whole 20%, she did all the work. She shampooed, and did absolutely everything.
