Tippidy
For hairdressers

Tips straight to you, not the till

Customers pay by card and you still get your tip — straight to your own account, not through the salon till.

The money lands with you directly

The tip goes straight to your own account — separate from the salon till, with a clear record.

Built for hairdressers

Employed, chair rental, or self-employed

The tip stays with you

Card payment no longer means your tip disappears into the till. It goes straight to you.

Ideal for chair renters

Working self-employed on your own account at the salon? Your own Tippidy profile keeps your tips cleanly separate from the till.

No extra device

Customers pay with their own phone. You don't need an extra card reader.

Ready in minutes

Sign up, print or display your QR code, done — before your next client sits down.

How much is it normal to tip at the hairdresser?

Guideline amounts by price, occasion, and country — and how the tax treatment differs for employees and the self-employed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still get tipped when customers pay by card?

Yes. You show your personal QR code at the mirror or the till, the customer scans it, and their tip goes straight to you — it never lands in the salon's till.

Does Tippidy work for chair renters and the self-employed?

Yes, especially for them. As a self-employed stylist you get your tip straight to your own account, independent of the salon till.

Do I have to pay tax on the tip?

As an employed hairdresser, voluntary tips are tax-free under § 3 No. 51 EStG. As a self-employed stylist, they count as business income. See our tips-and-tax page for details.

Do I need a separate card reader?

No. Customers scan your QR code with their own phone and pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — you don't need any extra device.

What does Tippidy cost for hairdressers?

Your profile is free — only the usual payment fees apply per tip.
