Tipping A Salon Owner

Wow, that's uncalled for.
I used to get my hair done by the owner of a salon in DuPont. I tipped at a few of my visits and a family member who also went there told me I didn't have to because he was the owner. I didn't quite understand it either at the time. Then, at one of my visits, I was figuring out the tip since I bought a few products as well. I asked the receptionist about tipping the owner and he shook he head and said "no". When I pushed the question, and said I really wanted to tip, he shook his head again, and made a face like I was being tacky. He said it's customary, so the owner is okay w/ it and doesn't expect one.
That's all I got.

Patrick Bateman doesn't tip the salon owner.

Patrick Bateman: [faking a conversation on the phone] Now, John, you've to wear clothes in proportion to your physique. There are definite dos and don'ts, good buddy of wearing a bold striped shirt. A bold stripe shirt calls for solid colored or discreetly patterned suits and ties.
[pause]
Patrick Bateman: Yes, always tip the stylist 15%. Listen, John, I've gotta go, T. Boone Pickens just walked in.
[laughs]
Patrick Bateman: Just joking. No, don't tip the owner of the salon. Okay John? Right? Got it.
