Something I fully believe in, is complimentary bang trims for my regular clients. It’s a win win win win win (endless wins!) situation. This is not your run of the mill two win occurrences.
Don’t believe me? Let me count the wins.
Win 1- The haircut is suddenly fresh again! You can feel beautiful instead of miserable because you don’t have a hair curtain in front of your eyes!
Win 2-The stylists’ client’s haircut is suddenly fresh again! They are going to get hair compliments and probably tell people that you did it! Then you will get more business!
Win 3-It only takes 10 minutes, so you can squeeze them in (get squeezed in) almost any time, any day.
Win 4-It’s a free and nice way to show your clients you care about their hair and are grateful for their business.
Win 5-You don’t have to do it yourself and possibly ruin your entire haircut!
I think Win 5 is the biggest winner of them all.
May I make a suggestion? Don’t see a stylist that doesn’t offer free bang trims.
And on behalf of stylists everywhere I would like to casually mention that tipping your stylist for a bang trim is an extremely kind and welcomed gesture.
Here’s to beautiful bangs!
OK, that’s it…I’m moving to NY so you can cut my hair.
(I actually have a delightful stylist, who probably would trim my bangs if I asked…) But I can’t help it….I’m a major bang trimmer! LOL!
I love this post. I’m giving bangs another try next month after swearing I’d never put myself through them again. I abhor growing them out and the in-between stages, but my stylist said it’s her job to make the process as easy as possible. Hopefully that means the complimentary trims you address here
what’s an appropriate amount to tip for a bang trim? i am clueless when it comes to stuff like this
I need a regular trim. When I am done being broke from moving (hopefully shortly) I will be coming in for that.
I too would love to know the appropriate tip for a bang trim – you’re in an expensive city of course but still advice would be welcome!
I think you could do an entire post on tipping! For instance, in Atlanta, my haircut is $66 but my sweet, sweet stylist blows out my very curly, very think hair for me. She books my appointment for one hour instead of her regular 45 minute window. I want to tip her for the extra time, but I’m not sure how much. I usually give her $90. What do you think?
same question re: tips – what’s appropriate for a bang trim?
My stylist offers free bang trims, but I was wondering…is it okay to see her for more than one bang trim in between haircuts? I only get my hair cut a few times a year.
As a stylist, I do this! And other stylists in my salon think I’m crazy, but i see it as that little thing that shows the client you care. and I don’t want to nickel and dime them to death. Just like baby’s first haircut with me is complimentary. I also don’t expect a tip, but it is always nice. I’d say check out how much a bang trim costs in surrounding salons and do 50% of that.
You get back 10 fold what you give away! Bang trims are always complimentary with me, too. Maybe, selfishly it is benefiting me more as I don’t have to repair a butchering!
Everyone wins~beautiful!
As a hairstylist, I give free bang trims to my clients. I started doing this because most of my clients would request that I cut their bangs shorter then they wanted, so they would last longer. But you just end up not liking them for a few weeks. So I always suggest that they come see me between haircuts, so they can have perfect bangs. Most of my clients tip $5-20 for a bang trim.

Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to create a really good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
