What is customary to tip when you go to a salon? Does it depend on what you get done?

My stylist charges plenty (but she's worth it & I love her!) and I tip 20%. I bump it up to 25% around her birthday & Christmas and then skip the ridiculousness of trying to find the perfect "little something" gift for her.

i only get my hair cut - i do my own coloring. the cut costs $30, and i usually tip $6, enough for her to buy lunch. and this is the owner that I've been going to.
my usual gal quit - i hate that - because you can't really ask where she went! this happened to me 2x before with another stylist. i happened to run into her at the mall, about a 30 min drive from where we live. that was totally by chance! anyhoo, in both situations, she left for better pastures, one to go to a better salon, and the 2nd time to open her own.

I get a wash, blow out, and trim. I usually tip 20% as well, and I only go a few times a year. Glad to see I have been tipping correctly
ETA: I tip more if I have to bring Tiny Bubble. He is never a problem, but the fact that he COULD be and that I may have to check on him leads me to tip more.
