I hope some of this info helped.

WOW, not that they're not worth it, but I go every 4-5 weeks for a cut and color. It cost me $45....there is NO way I can afford to pay $90 every time I go. I usually just tip $5 and sometimes that leaves me a little dry in the pocketbook. I don't tip the mailman...they make good money (at least here they do) or the newpaper carrier...it's never here on time and she is just the worst. I deduct everyone time it is late. I pay not only for the paper but the service...never had my nails done so I don't know. Like mentioned before.....just whatever you can afford.
