There’s nothing like stressing out over tipping to ruin the end of a great haircut, pedicure, or other treatment. Knowing the basics makes everything better for you—and your aesthetician. Here’s what you need to know:
- Twenty percent is a good rule of thumb for the person who performed the service. Throw in a little extra for more labor-intensive or truly spectacular treatments.
- The owner of a salon should never be tipped.
- Assistants should be: the right-hand people get $10 to $20.
