The girl I go to gives me a head massage too (and I've been to other higher end salons where they did this also)...on one hand, it feels really great. On the other hand I sorta feel like I am being flirted with. On the third hand I feel manipulated because this affection is to get a big tip.
I have an old high school friend who works in a salon in Kirkwood/Sunset Hills. I pay 20 for the cut and tip 5 every time. I go about every 4-6 weeks since I'm trying to grow it out and only really need it evened out and thinned with thinning shears each time.
I pay $30 for my cut ($25 fee and a $5 tip added on).
I actually wish the lady who cuts my hair (who's hot and I'm pretty sure a big pot head, so every time I go I'm thinking the whole time how I can smoke a joint with her out back after the cut...) anyway, I actually wish she was a little more creative. There are times that I just tell her I'm wanting to try something new, the only condition is that it's easy for me to style in the morning. She usually just gives me a minor alteration of my normal cut. It's probably one of those things where she's too afraid of going too far, and I'm too afraid to tell her to do whatever she wants and I'll just have her cut it really short if I don't like it.

Although last time I got a totally awesome head massage when she shampooed my hair, so maybe it's worth it.
Did she offer you a towel and cigarette afterwards?

(zing!)
No, but one time I was telling her all about my favorite bar and she said she really wanted to go to it.
Maybe I should have asked her out. Access to those head massage skills for free would be sweet.
