Tipping: what’s the latest rule on tipping stylists, estheticians, and lash/brow/etc when they have their own little business or are self employed?These days everyone works for themselves. Is it 0%, 10, 18, 20, or 25? And do you tend to skimp when it’s a pricey service, eg 500$, 20% is $100 tip?

I generally tip 20% for all services like this, 25% if they do a great job or go above and beyond (like scheduling at a weird time/day).

I agree!

The service is in the price. I don’t go above 20. For an hour of service.

Especially if you see them regularly.
Being a regular customer you are solidifying their monthly income.
Still have to keep a budget.

Restaurants/bars: variable.

I’m a solid 20% tipper, more for someone who goes above and beyond.

20% as a rule. I don’t get any services that cost $500… most would be hair full cut and color around $175.

I agree wit the above comments. My usual tip is 20%. I rare go beyond that.

Good question. Sometimes I visit a Medispa owned by a nurse. How does not tipping the dermatologist vs. tipping the Medispa differ? I get so anxious about tipping these days! Is it the right amount, who exactly is getting the tip, will they see the tip, etc?

alright so tipping is great for estheticians (i am one), but it is actually illegal to tip doctors for their services. so depending on who you go to for what service, i would ask at the front desk, “is it okay to leave a tip for my service?”. most will say yes.

Are you supposed to tip the person who does your Botox? I didn’t know that ..

but the biggest thing is, is that you tip based on how you feel your service went :)

That depends on the quality of the work. If it is worth 20%, I will give her 20. If it's do good I might giver her a 30-40. But I usually tip 15% most of the time.
