How Much Do You Tip for a Pedicure? Manicure?
Please tell me what the going rate is for tipping for a pedicure. Also for a manicure. I think I overtip the pedicurist because it seems like an awful job to me!
Many thanks!  |

15-20%, depending on how good the service was.

My minimum tip for personalized service longer than a quick lunch is $10.
Going by % & doing calculations seems cheap & petty to me, in hindsight... yeah I used to do it too.
Good tips = better service. I noticed it immediately when I started tipping better. People will go the extra mile for ya when they know you take care of them too.

10-20% all depends. Only 2 places I like to go too so they know how to treat you.

I believe if someone is providing a luxury service such as a manicure, pedicure, massage, unless they are the owner, and unless the service was extremely poor, I would always go for the 20%. That's just me. I find that the people that perform these services are usually extremely hard workers. If I can afford to have these luxury/necessitities, then I can afford to be generous.

Le't see the work done, and tell us how much you paid. Then I'll tell you if you tipped well or not.  |

The cost of the mani-pedi was $33 for both. I gave the pedicurist $10 and the manicurist $5. Maybe this was too much? |

That's a lot of money. You're generous. I know they must have done a good job. You can always DM me the work.  |
