How do you make a 5 o'clock shadow look good?
A 5:00 shadow is always pretty short. If you're trying to consistently maintain this look, get a beard trimmer and use a guard between 1 and 1.5 millimeters for your face. Then, shave up to right beneath the jawline. If you grow really high cheek hairs, shave those as well.
How much should you tip for a haircut?
If you had a good experience, I recommend tipping around $10 for a haircut. If your experience was really amazing, you could do $20. I don't like telling people they are obligated to tip, though. You should tip if your finances allow it and your experience warrants it, but tip what makes you comfortable and reflects your haircut.
