Isn't tipping your barber (or your hairstylist, if you're a cretin) mandatory? I mean, these people pretty much determine what your head will be looking like for the next month or so. If they do a good job, they deserve a little extra gratuity.
In my experience, the two people that must ALWAYS be tipped are your pizza delivery guy (to ensure fresh hot 'za on even the busiest of nights) and your barber. It's not really tipping for "services rendered". It's more for "consideration for future services". If I tip nicely now, they will remember me in the future and go the extra mile.
