Jumping in here to say that the tipping thing is a hot topic among grooming salon owners! There are various ways of compensating the groomer – salary, commission, base plus commission etc.

Most of the salon owners in my groups say that tips are appreciated and customary, but that the groomer is not expecting the tips to comprise a substantial portion of their compensation.

We don’t do grooming … there are two salons in town, so I don’t have pressure to add grooming … but finding and keeping good groomers (as employees) is very difficult.
