How much do you tip a masseuse?
964749
If the Masseur owns their service/business "nothing" should be expected.\n\nIf they are working for a spa your paid fee should also include gratuity. Doctors office- same thing nothing.\n\nIf massage schools offer student massages to the public, then you can give a tip or donation....

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.

Having worked in a 5-Star hotel, here are my suggestions:\n\n1.  The valets at most hotels make close to minimum wage since they are considered tipped employees.  They rely on tips for the majority of their income, therefore they usually do their best to make a good impression and do their jobs well. Stealing is very rare and if that should happen, report it immediately. Normal tips range from $2 to $5, but I have seen much higher than that, especially if extraordinary service is rendered.  \n\n2.  If a valet is not nice, polite or courteous, you do not have to tip, but you should also speak to a supervisor while you're there to inform him/her of the behavior so that it will be dealt with. If no one complains about bad behavior, it will never be changed.\n\nJust remember - they are paid very little and tips really do matter to them. If they do a good job, give them a tip. Some have families at home - others are going through school. But they are usually very busy and work hard for those tips!

I am a massage therapist as are many of my friends.  I work in the spa setting and I have a friend who works in the chiropractic setting.  She rarely receives tips from her clients.  But really, tipping is a personal decision.  If you feel like he/she really did help you, and you can afford to tip them...it is always greatly appreciated.

As long as you're licensed in the state in which you are seeking clients (some people aren't), I would recommend checking with chiropractors and at figure salons. Give free talks about massage to the Optomists, Rotary club and Chamber of Commerse. Also, put an ad in the paper offering discounts for multiple massages, or couples. Write an article about massage and offer it as filler to the local paper. Offer massage at all the senior citizen places. (Remember, seniors are more delicate, so you have to go easy.)Lots of massage therapists make a wonderful living by specializing in massaging seniors. My Dad's masseuse got Christmas bonuses from her clients adding up into the thousands. She was really terrific. She was the only one of his caregivers that he remembered in his will. Do you know what she did with the money? She sent flowers to his children and his sister. You could be as beloved as our Marnny. She works 30 hours a week massaging seniors and makes a good 60K+ per year. Use your imagination. There are probably hundreds of other ways to promote your  business. Have you thought about donating a massage to a fundraiser in exchange for the names and phone numbers of the people who entered the drawing? Do you offer "M"bucks for referrals? (That's massage bucks, good for application toward a massage.) How about offering coupon books as gifts for friends and relatives? You could make a killing around this time of the year, because what do you get the guy who has everything?? Have you spoken to Human Resources Directors at local stress-inducing businesses? What a wonderful benefit to receive as a reward for a job well done! You could wind up with more business than you can handle! (That's when you raise your prices and hire help!) If you have a portable massage chair, what about traveling massages for executives? That's just a few ideas. I hope you do well in your search for clients!

if they work in a spa or other place yes, 20%...they have to give most of their money you pay to the business..if it is a private practice then is up to you...as with all services if you feel you received excellent service by all means tip!

it's absolutely up to you.  Tipping is an individual thing, but if you like your hair cut, and want to continue going to the same stylist, tip as much as you can afford.  15% is the *bare* minimum.

What is a normal tip for services?\n\nA tip should typically fall within the 15% to 20% range.  (This is before tax is added.)\n\nAre there circumstances when you should tip more than 15% to 20%?      \n\nIf the service provider either did something out of the ordinary or did something that took a great deal of time (such as major make-overs, color correction, etc.) you might want to consider leaving a larger tip.\n\nWho else should you tip other than the person who performs the service?\n\nAt a salon, you should tip the person who shampoos your hair ($5) and the person who blow dries your hair other than the stylist ($10).  It is not necessary to tip the receptionist or someone who brings you a drink

It depends.  If there's an upcharge for having the pizza delivered he's all ready got his tip, but if they got to my place extremely fast I'd probably toss in an extra 2-3 bucks.  If there is no upcharge for delivery then it depends on how hot the pizza is when I get it the tip they get.  \n\nCold = 1 dollar\nLuke Warm = 2 dollars\nHot = 3-4 dollars.\nPiping Hot = 5 dollars\n15 minutes or below = 7 dollars or more!!!

It depends- do they add a surcharge for traveling to your home, or do you pay the same amount as if you went to their office?  If they do include a surcharge for travel, I would still tip them 15 percent or so (depending on the service of course!).  If they do not charge extra to travel to your home, a tip of 20 to 25 percent is quite reasonable- it takes a lot of time and effort to haul around the massage table, set it up, take it down, do the driving, ect.

the norm is 15%, but i've known lots of servers and i usually go 20% and if they are AWESOME, i go higher.  like i have a lady who always serves me at this cafe i go to on tuesdays and i always tip her $5, even though i spend $10 on my lunch.  my reason is that she knows exactly what i want and she doesn't waste my lunch hour potting around.  she gets my order so i can sit and enjoy it without worrying whether i'll get back in time or not.\n\neasy way to caluclate a tip is take the total and round it to the nearest $ amt.  so, 26.57 is $30.  then take 10%, which is $3.00 and add half of the $3.00 (which is your 5%) so your tip would be $4.50.  that's 15%.  if you were giving 20% jsut double the $3.00 and you'll tip $6.00.\n\nhope this helps!

For the most part, massage therapists arent salaried.  They get a percentage of the fee the client is paying. On the low end it is usually 50/50.  ok is 60/40.  If you can get 70/30 you are doing pretty good.  The problem isnt the money.....the challenge is getting the clients.  Once you can overcome that...you are home free.

Two bucks for one pizza, but if your order consists of two pizzas then you should tip three or four bucks depending on the speed you got your food.  However, if you are really drunk, the weather is really bad, or the delivery driver is a sexy hot blonde then five bucks is a very worthwhile investment.  ;)

If someone is serving you, you should take the bill add it and move the decimle point over\nso it should go something like\n\nBill: $12.00\n\n12+12+24.00\n\nmove the decimle point over once to the left and boom.  Tip: $2.40.  of course...its always nice to leave no less than a 4 dollar tip...but thats the actual way i was taught
