Tip a Beautician

Evaluate how you were treated. Think about whether you were greeted kindly, listened to and given the attention you needed to get the results you wanted. A beautician may be swamped, and you should not hold that against her. Time given to you may be twice as much the next time when she is not quite so busy. Evaluating her effort is really the most important part.

Look at the time spent. A beautician who spends a lot of extra time on making you happy deserves an extra tip. She is not getting paid extra to re-do that cut three times in a row. Reward her by tipping her thrice as much if such a situation were to occur. In extraordinary circumstances, it is appropriate to tip that much more.

Tip 20 percent for service that is satisfactory. Never go less than 10 percent even it is a less-than-satisfactory job. A beautician does her best with the information she has, skills learned and tools available. Sometimes there is miscommunication or misunderstanding in what you truly want. Tip extra if the beautician provides extra services that she does not charge for. A hand massage during a manicure deserves some extra tipping.
