When I was in school for cosmetology, the owner of the school (it was a big trade school, cosmo was just one of the programs) would come back to get his hair done, and would
only come to me. He obviously got the haircuts for free (the clinic we had only charged minimal fees anyway, $6 men's haircuts, $9 women's, etc.), but he always tipped me $20.
And then he got one of the other teachers (turned out to be his mistress, haha) to come get her hair/nails/eyebrows/etc done by me, and she always tipped well also. Then a few of the other administrators/teachers started coming to me. It was great, I was taking home $50-70 a week in tips, while just in school.
My best tip at my current job was $40 on a $120 color/highlight. And along with that $40, she gave me two bottles of her husband's homemade wine.
