yes, it is actually as simple as abolishing tipping and having employers pay their employees more and employers can subsequently choose to up their prices for compensate. this way, things are actually normalized and not reliant on things of high variance.

A gratitude for services has nothing to do with what they are paid for nor what comes out of your pocket for the service. If someone gave you a gift card at a restaurant for $300 and the bill was $310, you are not going to leave a tip for $2 because $10 came out of your pocket. They still provided a service potentially worthy of the full amount. Has nothing to do with what the employer is paying them. That is a totally other debate.
Actually not...the point is that if you use a coupon, the delta from the price you pay from the regular price is a gift. The service is still valued at the regular price. Doesn't matter if the gift is from a friend or the retailer.
Anyway, the comment you replied to didn't say that they were going to give the tip based on the paid price so your original comment was bad in 2 respects.
The only thing I agree with you on is that the tip should be based on the original price before a coupon/discount/gc is used.

Which area specifically in metro Detroit?

"Delta" is the difference between to values, in this case, what you paid versus it's value.
Let's start over because with each reply we are further away from the original point.
The original thread was for a coupon. A reply was made remember to tip based on value.
A comment was made, and I'm paraphrasing, ...that it shouldn't be the customers responsibility to pay an employee when they should be getting fair wage... (which I agree with), however it eluded to giving a lesser tip. I say it because why otherwise would that statement be made.
My reply was based on that comment. It is a totally different debate, which by the way I agree with, but has no bearing on "you should be providing a tip based on original value of service".
tipping is an award after the service. which is not really an encourage for some good or bad sercvices before hand

Great Clips is dirt cheap compared to a regular salon. The coupon saves me money so I enjoy that savings.
I normally do $20 with my current person because she does a great job EVERY time, plus she goes above and beyond without asking (i.e. shampoos and blows it out, uses products in my hair, rather than just a cut)
I won't go to anyone else.
To build a good relationship with someone in the service industry, tip them! Ask for them every time. If they go elsewhere, follow them (although Great Clips now makes this impossible but it used to be a thing when people would branch out on their own)
