Tipping an acquaintance?

Hi! Recently had a haircut with a colleague’s son who just finished his apprenticeship at a local salon. Did a great job as I have long thick hair - a trim, and added some layers, then a very nice blowout. It took just over 2 hours tho! Cost was $90 and I tipped $20, just a little over 20%. Wondering if that was enough considering I know his mom, plus how much time was spent. Thoughts?

Teen wants to build credit score

19 yo daughter is authorized user on my credit card, but wants to build her own credit. I have a high balance on my card which is bringing down her score (although I always pay in full, never late). I guess she benefits from the age and payment history of my card, but the high balance hurts her score. What are the ramifications of removing her as an authorized user? She has no immediate credit needs, so how should we time removing her, and her applying for her own CC? Thanks.

Can I color without washing first?

I use Natural Instincts to cover the grey regrowth in my light brown hair with good results.

I swam earlier and really don’t feel like shampooing, drying, and then coloring, shampooing & drying again tonight. Lazy, I know, but do I need to wash my hair before coloring? Specifically wondering due to the chlorine in the pool.

Pay it now or use cash elsewhere?

I have a balance transfer card with a balance of about $9,500 US. I have the 10k to pay it off now, but it’s not due until January 2027. Is there anything I should do with the 10k cash until January? Just a HYSA?
ETA that the $9,500 balance is 0 interest until January.

Lounge access (sorry)

Yes, another access question - I tried the AA site and it’s not clear so coming here for definitive answers

I am platinum pro, flying MCE domestically - lounge access or nah? Also have the Citi platinum select card, but believe that doesn’t matter.

Thanks.
