Keep the Beauty in Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill'
- Legislators are currently discussing President Trump's proposed legislation that aims to eliminate taxes on tips received by hair stylists and barbers, a change that would impact small businesses across the country.
- This debate follows years when many barbershops and hair salons, like Vanity Heights Salon in Houston owned by Tolunay, faced economic difficulties worsened by the pandemic and high inflation.
- The bill recommends that the IRS handle tips at hair salons in the same manner as tips at restaurants, reflecting a tax credit approach established decades ago by bipartisan lawmakers to reduce payroll taxes on tipped income.
- A $20 tip, after swipe fees, can increase a salon's tax bill by $2 each quarter, which small businesses must cover from their cash flow, complicating service capacity and growth.
- Supporters urge the Senate to keep provisions that relieve tipped workers and small businesses in the bill and to send it to the president’s desk for signature to help create jobs and promote tax fairness.

Here’s our hot take on some of the Senate’s work in progress, as viewed not in terms of what is ideal but in the context of what the House already passed. We’re all for limiting the “no-tax-on-tips” deduction to $25,000 per person. We didn’t like the campaign promise in the first p…
