    I used Jorge Pena and he doesn't add it, I gave him 15% the day of the wedding. Full review in bio. Good luck,

    oh I did not know this. Is that built into the price or is it additional? I have my trial with her one week from today, wonder if she does the same on the trial... hmmm...good to know this though so I don't double tip which I've done before at restaurants when I didn't pay attention!

    I just booked her about two weeks ago and in her contract she lists two totals: one "without gratuity" and one with "optional gratuity added in." She worded it exactly that way in the contract.
    TTC since May 2011 "Natural" BFP 1/2/2012 with cp 1/5/2012 5/2012: SA and CD 3 bloodwork perfect 6/2012: Clomid + Trigger + TI = BFN 8/2012: HSG all clear. Clomid TI cycle canceled due to thin lining 9/2012: Lap and Hysteroscopy: mild endo, uterine fibroids and septum, and ovarian cyst all removed

    REALLY?! I think she's overpriced to begin with, I mean $250 for makeup? Unless you give me gold specs (actual gold) I don't see why someone would charge so much for MU and I bet she won't stay with you through the day...

    Valarie Stanley doesn't charge for tip - she also owns her own business so I will probably not tip her (unless she goes above and beyond) :) HTH!
