Are you supposed to tip the masseuse after getting a massage?

Question

If so, how much?

Answer 1

Always tip for services being provided. Especially at a spa. Same rules apply as in the food service industry. 15-20% depending on satisfaction level. If there is a gratuity already included it isn't so important, however its always nice to know that the guest/client appreciates you.
We won't hate you if you tip badly, some people can't afford a huge tip and we understand. And, always remember your manners. I find it much easier to deal with a nice and polite client who tips below average than a pain in the rear who tips below average.

Answer 2

You should tip if you are happy with the service, 10-20 % is fair. Massage therapists most often do work on commission or space rental, just as hairstylists do. So, they do not get to keep the full amount of money you pay for the massage. Tipping is just a courtesy, not required. However, everyone in the service industry appreciates it, and works hard to earn it!

Answer 3

Thats a good question...i think that massage is very expensive already...and I have never heard of commision in the art of masseuse. If you were to tip I would say a crisp 20 would be fine.

Answer 4

You don't have to, but it's always good manners. That way, you know they'll also make an extra nice job the next time you go. 15 to 20% is the usual amount you can tip.

Answer 5

Tip for a massage is always expected

Answer 6

I tip roughly 10 to 20 dollars. Ten for each half an hour basically.

Answer 7

Yes, 15-20 percent.

Answer 8

20%

Answer 9

yes...5-10 bucks...you don't HAVE to, but if you liked it. most aren't working for themselves and don't get the full amount you pay for the massage.

Answer 10

Its polite but you don't have to.

Depends on what you paid. I'd say about 10 dollars
