Tips - Gel Nails

Alrght ladies.  I have started to get my nails done for the wedding, and I am wondering what I should tip.My nails were 37.10 the other day, and I gave her 40, but I was wondering if I am being too cheap.I have a few more times with her, and I just kind of want your opinions.TIA

Re: Tips - Gel Nails

  • I tip 20% for manis and pedis.
  • Sorry, but that's really cheap like 7%.  I always do 20% on spa services and just round up.  ie. $37.10 + $8 (20% of $40) = $45. 
  • My minimum tip is 5 bucks and I add on from there. It pays in the long run to "take care" of your nail girl. I used to get solar nails every two weeks and occasionally they would give me a free set of course I still tipped my girl. Same goes for hair. I usually do 20 as a minimum and my girl has helped me out of many binds!!! Hth

  • Don't feel too bad! The last time I went in for waxing, the salon I go to changed the machine and I wasn't allowed to tip through visa anymore!! and I had no cash..!! I felt sooo bad.. but I'm going to give her a bigger tip next time to make up for it! You can always tip her better when you go back too.
  • Thanks ladies. That was part of my problem, I knew she only took cash or cheque, and when I did this a year ago, it was 10 dollars cheaper, so I figured I was good.  I will just give her a bigger tip next time I see her.
