BWAH!!
I love how he just keeps doing his thing and then about ten seconds in, looks around like, "Bzuh?"

Question: when someone comes to clean your house, do you tip him or her? I'm not sure if it will be the owner of the business or not. (it's an independent small local company thing)
I have a general rule -- if you do an extraordinary job, you get a tip. Exceptions to this rule (in the sense that an exception means always tipping) are waitstaff and taxis. I think that tipping is a reward for going above and beyond. Just doing your job doesn't get you a tip, IMNSHO.
When I had a housekeeper (pauses to savor the constant cleanliness that has been absent in the new place), I gave her a holiday tip or tipped if I'd forgotten to leave the top lock unlocked and she had to come back, etc.

What about hairstylists?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or massage therapists?

My last massage therapist was anti-tip. She said she felt she was a professional running a business and charging what her services were worth. I don't know how wide-spread this point of view is, though.

When I tip a massage therapist, the reaction seems to be, "Oh, you want to tip me? Cool!"

The last time I had a massage, I tipped because it was a truly great massage. I don't necessarily feel obligated to tip for that. As for hairstylists, if I really like the cut or they made space for me at the last minute or I was running late and they still got me out on time (which happens embarassingly often), I tip. I go in for a trim or a touch up, not so much.
