How Much to Tip?

Sunday July 3, 2005
When you get your hair cut, colored, blown-out & shampooed, how much to tip? And what if there are several different people involved from assistants to the main stylist? You are expected to tip 15-20 percent to the stylist & $5 to each individual who shampoos and/or blows out your hair. The same rule applies to your manicurist, your aesthetician & anyone who spends time making you look beautiful (at a cost). They get 15-20 percent as well.

Are you supposed to tip your aesthetician for laser hair removal at a spa? If so, how much? They have a new person every week so do you give 20% for all 8 sessions?

I bought the package at 50% off so are you supposed to tip for what it would have been or for what you actually paid? And are you supposed to divide the tip per treatment since she has a new person every week?
