I'm going to the spa today. What is an appropriate tip?

1 Answer

Answer :

you tip when you pay for the treatment. some spas offer you an envelope for each separate service provider, but I think this is being worked. Tip 20 % on the full amount at the end, and let the manageress work it out as far as who gets what. With the envelope system, I have walked out of spas having paid $200 or more, for just a mani/ pedi and facial.
