Actually they sound a little devious rather than noble. I was told by a friend in the waiting industry that it's much safer to leave a cash tip than add it to the credit card bill. At the end of the day people don't always claim their credit card tips and that money just goes right back into the establishment. It sounds more like they're promoting people to pay, and tip, in cash, which is easier for them to deal with. If your manicurist does a good job, offer him/her a cash tip. If they still refuse, perhaps they do have honerable intentions. If that's the case send me the address of the salon because wherever I go a tip is expected!

Somehow the idea got started that you tip the employees, but not the owner of a beauty shop. In our town, rates at beauty salons are quite reasonable compared to larger cities. I generally tip 10% - 15% to the stylist, who's usually a co-owner of the shop. There's just one shop in town where the owner tells her clients that no tipping is necessary -- the prices charged cover all costs and salaries. My problem is, few of them do a good enough job to suit me. All I want is a decent haircut that will grow out gracefully over six or eight weeks. I keep asking friends for recommendations. I give a new stylist two or three chances to get it right, but so far I haven't been satisfied. When and if I find a stylist who really understands my hair, I'll pay whatever she charges and at least 15% extra every time. Mr. Happy: It's true that it's not the custom to tip nurses or teachers with money. However, I did send a package of individually-wrapped chocolate candy to my nurses' floor after I got out of the hospital. Teachers seem to receive more coffee mugs, decorative plaques, and other dumb gifts than they can ever use. Instead, a gift card to an office-supply store like Staples or Office Max would really help with the extra materials that many teachers purchase out of their own pockets.

I would much rather hand the tech a cash tip. That way, I know the person that did the work is actually getting the money that was meant for them.
I never tip on my credit or debit card.

They way I figure, if an establishment does not has a "no tipping" rule, then tip. If the individual gets insulted by your gratitude, take your business elsewhere next time.

No it is not.
My aunt is the owner of her nail salon.
Her workers prefer to be paid in cash....AND....
She says that the problem is, that people don't tip ENOUGH.
Many of the manicurists don't like to accept spare chunk change.
Not to make them sound greedy, but what could they do with a few quarters out of your pocket?
You're supposed to tip atleast 7% out of what your service cost was.
I have witnessed people leaving quarters and dimes as tips.
Yes, it is insulting to leave quarters and dimes. Isn't their service worth more than that. It's a Korean thing.

some dont allow it on the credit card slip, but you can always slip who ever did your nails cash. i do. i think it's easyer to decide who gets the tip rather than the company.
i have never heard of any business not aception tips. ..
