How much should you tip?
The economy may rise and fall, but it turns out that holiday tips remain remarkably stable. So how much is the right amount?
Hairdresser/barber
What readers say: MONEY readers say they plan to give their hairdressers $20, the same amount they tipped in 2007.
The right way: While the guideline is usually one unit of pay, "that's more than most people do," says Post. "For those who can afford to give more, it will definitely be a bigger gesture these days."
