Valerie is a true expert with short curly hair, and I am thrilled with her work as my hair stylist. HOWEVER, I truly hate the fact that I must remember to carry cash in order to give Val a well-deserved tip. Normally I leave the salon, trek to the bank on the corner, and collect some cash -- but this week I simply didn't have the time. I bitterly resent that IF you require cash tips to personnel, you don't also have an ATM machine right on the premises. You pay nothing for them (I think you even get a small "kick back" when clients use them)...and your stylists would no longer be cheated of the tips they deserve.
