The guide is 15-20% - adjust as you need to for budget and service.

If you were having a facial at the dermatologist's office, would you tip the woman doing your facial? Thanks. 


 No, not at the Dermatologist office. Now , if you bring a sm  gift  of food , coffee/tea  that's  nice for the Holidays.


that is where I disagree,  I wouldn't want more stuff,  

 

best practice ask when you make the appt for the tipping policy 


 

@jackthebear   Re: bringing food. Are we talking about tipping at holidays or just in general? I don't think food is appropriate during the year...


lets just say this

I think that most people don't want more stuff--candles, or mugs or food, a tip is best.

i used to do 15 for hair and stuff like that, but recently adjusted to 20, thinking that at my stage of life, the extra isn't going to break the bank and might make a difference to the person giving the service.
