Tipping plays a critical role in the lives of hospitality professionals, especially those in the beauty and wellness industry. Amidst cash shortages and the rise of card-based tips, how are stylists and other beauty wellness professionals viewing this shift from cash? 

In the first Branch x Tippy Beauty and Wellness Trends Report, we surveyed 500+ beauty and wellness industry professionals to get their views on tipping, digital payments, and how tips impact their financial security and habits. Some of the key findings include:

• Over 80 percent find greater financial security and stability
in their tips.
• Almost half of respondents were more likely to save their tips when they received them digitally than they would with cash.
• Stylists cited personal relationships (73%) as the top factor driving the amount of tip they receive.
