How Much to Tip
Christmas is the season of giving and showing appreciation to those who help us throughout the year. Your nail technician helps you keep your nails looking fabulous all year long, so how much should you tip them at Christmas?
10-15% of the regular service price
For quality work, it is appropriate to tip 10-15% of the regular service price. If you receive a discount or promotion, you should still tip on the regular service price. Of course, you may always tip more or less depending on your level of satisfaction.
$5-$10 per nail tech
It’s always a good idea to show your appreciation for good service with a tip, and that includes your nail tech If you get regular manicures or pedicures, you probably have a favorite technician who does a great job every time. During the holidays, it’s a nice gesture to give them a little something extra. But how much should you tip?
A general guideline is $5-$10 per nail tech depending on the level of service and how often you visit the salon. For example, if you get manicures and pedicures every two weeks, you might want to give a larger tip than someone who only gets their nails done once a month. And if you always get optional extras like nail art or paraffin treatments, that’s another reason to consider giving a little more.
Of course, the final decision is up to you and your budget. Even a small tip will let your nail tech know that you appreciate their hard work and dedication to giving you beautiful nails!
When to Tip
It’s the season of giving, and you may be wondering how much you should tip your nail tech. Generally, it’s a good idea to show your appreciation for good service throughout the year, but you may want to give a little extra around the holidays.
At the end of your appointment
When you go to the salon, it is customary to tip 15 to 20 percent of the total bill, after tax. If you received exceptional service you can tip a little more. If the service was only so-so, you can still give 15 percent, but if it was really bad, you may want to give only 10 percent or even nothing at all.
When you pay your bill
When you pay your bill, you should always leave a tip for good service. How much you should tip depends on the quality of the service and the length of time it took. For example, if you had a pedicure that took an hour and you were happy with it, you might leave a $5-$10 tip. If you had a manicure that only took 20 minutes and you were happy with it, you might leave a $2-$5 tip.
How to Tip
It’s the holiday season and you want to show your appreciation to your nail tech for taking care of you all year. But how much should you tip them? The general rule of thumb is to tip 10-20% of the service cost. So, if your manicure cost $25, you would tip $2.50-$5.00.
Cash
If you decide to give cash, it’s always best to give it directly to the technician rather than placing it in an envelope or giving it to the front desk. According to Angie’s List, the standard amount to tip for excellent service is 20 percent, so on a $50 salon service, your tip would be $10.
Gift card
A gift card is a wonderful way to show your appreciation for all the hard work your nail tech does throughout the year. But how much should you spend?
Here are a few guidelines to help you decide:
-If you go to the salon regularly, spend at least $20 on the card.
-If you only go occasionally, spend at least $10 on the card.
-If you don’t go often but still want to show your appreciation, spend at least $5 on the card.
Online
If you buy a Christmas gift online, you’ll need to factor in the cost of shipping. Most retailers offer standard, two-day, and overnight shipping options. Standard shipping is usually the most economical, but it won’t arrive in time for Christmas. Two-day shipping is more expensive, but it will get your gift there on time. Overnight shipping is the most expensive option, but it’s guaranteed to arrive on Christmas Eve.
When it comes to tipping your nail tech at Christmas, there is no set rule. However, many people choose to give a little extra – typically 20% of the regular service cost – as a holiday bonus. If you’re not sure how much to tip, ask your nail tech for their preferred method of payment (cash, check, or gift card) and base your tip accordingly.
