how much is proper to leave for a tip when getting a manicure/pedicure?

Forget Proper! Go based on the quality of the procedure itself, and the temperment of the person that did it! \nI think there is too much put into what you are "supposed" to leave, that people in customer service, waitresses etc, forget their manners, just figure they are OWED that tip. Screw that!

Generally, when I am on all exp. pd. trip, I still tip.  If a paid limo is picking you up, the tip is usually included in the cost.  But, a few bucks helps to show people you appreciate what they do.  Especially if you have luggage or if the same driver will take you other places.  I have had drivers give me mini tours, suggestions of where to go and not go (important if your new to an area) and even great suggestions for "local" eateries that are better than the usual "Highbrow" cusine!  Just because they know I tip a couple of extra bucks.

to all you people who have never worked in the service industry, if you have to ask if you're tipping too much, you're probably not tipping enough.  These people rely on the tips, which is customary in our culture, to make a living.  Just because your food came out 3 minutes late you're going to dock the tip?  How would you feel if your boss docked your pay cause you walked into his office three minutes after he felt like getting a document, or report.  15% should be an absolute minimum.  20% is a fair tip for decent seervice.  If I get great service, i'll tip 25-30%.  Stop being cheap.

yes, if the barber was polite and focused on giving you the cut that you desire i think it is appropriate to give them a little tip. it shows that you have some class. lets say the cut cost you 12.99 and the barber gave you excellent customer service plus the cut you desired I would give him a twenty and tell him to keep the change. It isnt often that he gets a tip that big. You will put a smile on his face and will be remembered the next time. However if you just cannot afford to tip at least give a kind remark.

No, My husband installs tile and has for 10 years.  He has been tipped once and it was because he helped them move some furniture while he was there. Just tell them thanks and tell them what a good job they did.  You may also tell them that you will refer them to a friend if they ever need tile done.

You should only tip when you pick up your car. Actually, I should say you should always tip the person returning your car, and it is ok to tip the person parking your car but that isn't necessary. The recommended tip is $1-2 for both parking and retrieving your car.

I tip movers and when I get my pizza you bet I tip the guy/gal who brings it. In fact I tip my hairdresser, my manicurist, my esthetician (the gal who does my eyebrows), the valet... Maybe you're not hanging out with the right kind of people ;-)

These people are right if you really like dance tip a little than a dollar.  The bigger the tip more she will direct the dance towards you and the better the show will be for.  Strippers aren't like other services you tip they don't treat you good till they get the good tips.

15% of the bill for the following:\nroom service & laundry in the hotel, resturants, and any seated eating \n10% of the bill for drinks at a bar\nparking valets: $1. on pick up & $5 on safe return of your car in a hotel or other establishment that offers valet...a valet at a party you give more ($5 at pick up and $10 at return)\nYou should also tip the carry-out at the grocery store (i always give enough for a cold drink on a hot day or a hot drink on a cold day)\nand if you pick up a pizza in a drive thru window you should give them a dollar for good service\n\nI can understand the need to tip a cop...underpaid and overworked people as they are....i supose a tip should be gifted if you ask for directions or some such thing\n\n*well, if the cops EXPECT a tip give them whatever you give the pizza delivery man\n\nlol, good luck!

If your not satisfied with the cut, don't tip at all. A tip is earned by satisfied service(except on parties of 6 or more). You are only expected to pay the $20.

I don't keep track of the amount, but I do know the ongoing percentage--20%.  I was making a habit of 15%, but my sister-in- law corrected my mistake.  "These people live off their tips, so don't be ungenerous."  Ever since, I have adhered to her correction.

15 - 20 is the norm.  If you really like the person's work, reward them on the high side.  Hair styling is an art and when you find the person who does the perfect cut or keeps you from looking like a poodle, you want to hang on to them.  \n\nTo not tip at all, is ignorant.
