How much do you tip your barber / haircutter?

For you guys who get regular haircuts (not you guys who get your "tips frosted" and the like) what do you tip the stylist/barber?

I usually offer up sex

but my wife cuts my hair

I go to a salon where only women work. For some reason, women know what looks good on a man, so I let them work on my head. Besides, the eye candy is ALWAYS good there. I pay around $24 for a cut, so I tip my favorite lady $4-5 each time.

About the same as I tip, I don't spend that much though.

I pay between 12-15 for a haircut at a nice place and usually tip 2 unless they completely do not pay attention and screw it up.

What kind of place? Regular cost cutters or similar?

Barber! Usually, 4 dollars tip, haircut is $11.00. I feel inclined to leave a tip. I really don't want too! After all, she is working for what I paid her. I fear that if I don't tip her each time, she may not do a good job on my head!

I have been going to the SAME guy for last 3 years. He changed three shop now and I just follow him wherever he goes. As for tips, $5. Sometime $6 if he spent really long time.

I cut my own hair and pay myself back with a handjob

$12 for the hair cut, so I bring $15 with me each time. I used to have a girl I went to at college though for a few years, she was hot and good so I gave her $5 each cut.

I usually cut my own hair, but if I go somewhere, the haircut will be like $13, so I just flip a $20 & tell them to keep the change.

My place is generic called Fantastic Sam, not sure if they are huge or anything but been going to one place for a few years. Problem is they lose people constantly so it is always someone different, and I have to spend sometime explaining how I want my haircut.
My sister has been trying to get me to use her stylist, but not sure I am ready to pay 50 bucks for a haircut yet.
