I went to the salon to get my hair colored, blow dried and styled.  The stylist was really nice, and she did a pretty good job. My problem with this place was that at the end, I noticed on my bill that they had automatically added %20 gratuity. Now, I would have given that much to the stylist, but I'm not a big fan of it being imposed on me. Regardless, then I asked the girl at the front desk if this was going to my stylist... She answered: \"well, *part* of it.\". I said, \"excuse, me, what do you mean\". She repeated, \"part of the gratuity goes to the styilst\".  OK. Well, I won't be back here again!  Why does the salon (or hotel?) need gratuity?  Don't they own the joint in the first place?  And with the amount they charged ($264), I think they're making a killing here!  \nIt left a real bad taste in my mouth. And I feel bad for the stylist, she deserves that whole 20%, she did all the work. She shampooed, and did absolutely everything.
