How much do you tip your nail tech?

[Gibson 7]

I just had the second manicure and pedicure of my life today and I feel sooooo decadent! I love it! I have a feeling that I may have overtipped though, which is fine, because I think the girl deserved it but I want to know what is typical. Thank you!!

Oh, for the record, I had a mani/pedi with color for $38 dollars and gave her $48.

I think the 15-20% rule applies as with hair salon services. I always give $3-$4 on a $20 pedicure. I mean if you feel she really did a great job, then tip what you feel is fair. That was really cool of you.

Hi I Am Not Banded Yet. But I Can Answer This Question. I Have My Nails Done Every 10 Days Crystal Gel And A Pedi. The Cost Of This $35.00

I Tip The Girl Who Does My Pedi $3.00. She Also Keeps $8.00 Of The $15.00 Pedi. The Girl Who Does My Fill In Is The Owner. I Don't Tip Her. She Keeps The Rest Of The Money.

All Nail Techs Keep 60% (fills-full Sets-gel-pink-perm White- Etc), The House Gets 40%.

I usually tip $5 if I just get a manicure, $10 for a mani/pedi.

Men and their damn football, baseball, basketball, hockey, bowling, fishing, soccer, rugby, tennis, australian rules football, golf, and porn.

How are you supposed to do any work? :eek:

$15 and $20 for a pedi!! Gawd, I'm so envious. The least expensive around here is $30. They usually run about $45 or $50.

It's the one thing I have to have done. I'm in sandals almost year round. I only put on regular shoes when the snow gets above the cork line.

We dont tip in Australia.

[Gibson 7]

Jachut, that's great! It means that you pay your waitresses, etc., a living wage without them having to rely on tips!

Thanks everyone for your input, I guess I've been right on the money! =)

I usually tip $5 each to the girl who does my nails and toes, an extra $3 if I get an eyebrow wax.

[HarleyNana 10]

I tip $5.00 for a fill, $10.00 for a new set, and $10.00 for pedicure.

I just switched to the gel nails and I love them.

Wow, you are a good tipper. I give 15% or round it off if close. I would have tipped $5.00 on your bill.
