The hair and nail services at the Salon Academy are less than at beauty parlors or the day spa - but next to nothing is quite a statement. There is no requirement for a tip but how cheap would a person have to be not to give a tip for a hair styling or nail job?

The students have to pay to attend that Academy. They have personal expenses. They are training to be productive workers.

Now, just a comment - nothing pro or con about it. Has anyone noticed all the tattoos that the majority of the students at the Academy have on their bodies? One that was really comical was on a young lady's forearm from the elbow to wrist. It was a cartoon giraffe done very artistically and was cute. However, I do have to wonder how many young people think 40 years plus into the future when getting a tattoo and how it will look with saggy skin, wrinkles, and maybe a few pieces cut out for skin cancers.
Dear Buggy,
I guess I don't understand your comments. Do you think the services cost too much or too little? Do you think customers should pay a tip when tips are for excellence, and the school makes clear the customers are there for mutual benefit of those not yet excellent? What is the relevance of tattoos?
