How much do you tip the person who cuts your hair?

I used to go to a fancy hair salon by my gym. The owner cut my hair and charged me $35 but it was okay because I could get the cut and then go to the gym, I tipped her $5 because bugged me to spend $40 for simple hair cut. I figure in a situation like that the person has put a monetary value on their time already, why not factor in the tip? Realistically I should have been tipping $10 for the customary 20% range.

I use my home gym now and I only recently learned the name of the lady who cuts my hair at the Hair Masters. I had been referring to her as "The asian lady by the window" when I called for an appointment. The cut here is $15 so I freely tip with an additional $10 for a 66% tip, and the fee is still less. And my hairs are the same amount of cut.

Most akward place to tip: The semi-naked barista places.
