On 6/24/2014 Lanikins said:I go to a Med Spa for my botox and had a recent laser procedure and I did not even consider tipping. The person I see is an Aesthetics RN. To me, this would be like offering a tip to the nurse who does my mammogram.
Yes, I agree. I don't think that either my sister or myself considered tipping until I saw that sign. Now, she says she feels funny about going back there. We are looking at another medispa. Should we ask upfront about tipping or is that tacky.

I would not tip at a Medical Spa ...botox injections..fillers etc..I consider those elective medical procedures just because insurance doesn't cover them - does that suggest a tip.
NOW if I had a facial at a spa then yes I would.
I detest tipping at the local stores where I pick up a cup of ice tea and donut. I sure would not want to where they make significantly higher.
I do think tipping has gone wild. I call in a Pizza Order go and pick it up and the receipt does have tip portion..

I am an aesthetician. If you are getting something done by a medical professional there is no need to tip but if a aesthetician is doing your service, it is customary to tip. Of course that is ultimately your choice but not many clients don't tip.
As for looking for another medspa, I don't know that you will find one that is so much different with tipping as the one you are at. That is pretty standard.

I'm pulling WAY BACK on tipping.....no tips to my doctors, dentists, mortgage company, etc.

I would think a true medical profession might get insulted if you offered them a tip.

NO WAY would I ever tip for a pick up order.''
I'm wondering if the tipping has something to do with what is covered by medicare/insurance and what isn't. Does anyone know if that has any bearing on the topic?

This is no different than Hilton hotels placing tip envelops for their maids in their rooms to encourage guests to tip the maid. If they paid a living wage, none would be needed, especially off the books money.

I don't tip the Dr for injections like Botox & Fillers or if he does my IPL, skin tightening ETC...............
BUT I do tip for IPL, Facials, Hair removal ETC............. for the other gals WHICH as I think about it NOW................. IS getting to be A LOT much / out of hand
I think I may just slow it down and tip for a Facials ONLY - not for the Skin Tightening, IPL treatments, Hair removal ETC......
just Facials - i look at those same a manicure & pedicure

Never even considered tipping in this setting. And, I certainly don't tip just anyone because they chose to work at a low wage job. Not my problem. Gotta cut if off somewhere. It's gotten crazy with all the tips jars around. Looks like panhandling gone wild!
