Hi.  I'm usually a very good tipper but I'm not sure how much I should be tipping for my hair and makeup trial that I'm having 1 hour from now!  My trial was built into my total package with the day of so do I tip based on that or is there like a standard $20 or $50?  Any advice would be appreciated!

    I would think a $50 tip is maybe a bit excessive.  My trial costs $75 so I will probably tip about $20.  If the trial is in a salon, I'd definitely tip, but if it is an independent stylist (ie. owns her own business), a tip is usually not necessary but welcome if you are very happy with the service.

    How much is the total package? I would divide the cost almost in half, adding a little bit more to the wedding day hair. For example, $150 total might be $60 for a trial and $90 for day-of. Then base your tip off that price.

    I did 20% so since my trial was 125 I tipped 25.  I have heard that it is the standard 15-20 percent....if you do that, I would go on the higher end..the 20%
