Is it common that you have to tip the barber?

My barber costs 25€ and I always tip 5€. Because he is a legend who fixes every detail, it takes him at least 30-45 minutes every time. And I moved 2 times since I went going there. Takes me 45min to 1 hour to get there. Barber loyalty is important. Lol

Same. Mine also makes me a cup of coffee while I'm waiting

Hairstylist/barber is definitely a job that works for tips. I tip 20%, same as I give my waitress.

Yes, tipping a barber or hairdresser is pretty standard practice.
