When in Rome, do as the Romans do
Barmymoo:
Putting your cutlery together when you finish is what I was taught too. Also I think with hairdressers you tip unless the person who cut your hair is the owner of the salon, or something. I don't get my hair cut any more, but when I did I went to a tiny little place where the only people working there were the ones who owned it, and I usually tipped because they charged so little I felt bad!

In Norway it's pretty simple, you tip about 10% if you're in a restaurant or cafe where waiters serve you at a table, but if you pay and get served by the counter you don't tip. In the UK, apparently you're supposed to tip your hairdresser, which I never did until an English person told me (and then I felt really bad about my previous hairdresser experiences since I'd lived there for two years at that point). Here in the states, you seem to tip everyone and their grandmother, but I have no idea how much.

here in the US we tip the hairdresser/barber and servers at a restaurant. We do not tip the guy at the counter.

Unless it's a bar.

Or there is a Tip Jar on the counter.

that always feels option IMHO.
Grognard:
I usually see Tip Jars at the coffee shop and the ice creamery.
if the barrista makes me a drink, I'll tip $1.
if I pour my own, I keep the $.
For ice cream, I tip .50c for everyone in the group.
family of four = $2 tip.
as for
"Awesome Service + I'm Drunk + You're Cute: I don't recall the cost, I just tipped her $50."
in my defense, "you're cute"; sometimes that just means "You made the experience enjoyable simply by your presence." the waitress wasn't a supermodel, she just had us all laughing at her comedic antics with our group.
Another waitress made a good tip by flirting heavily with my wife. She made my wife smile and blush and smile more.
That made me happy. Happy customers tip well.
