12683729, should i tip the first appointment?
Posted by falafel stand pimpin, Tue Dec-23-14 10:06 PM
or wait til the sessions actually prove to work

12683731, i'd tip on the first

if you've got a complex issue, it'll take several massages to feel like you're getting relief.
12683734, of course

12684135, i'll rip a $50 in half and tell her i'll give her the rest if it's good

Once shes done, i'll ask for the half back so I can tape it together. Then I give her a taped up $5 bill. She won't notice til you out the door.

Make sure it's not one of those spots where they got to buzz you out tho.
12683960, you massage the amount of the tip if they massage the tip.

12684047, A good rule of thumb is that you tip on any body service
Posted by Very-Effortless, Wed Dec-24-14 01:33 PM
Hair, nails, massages, facials. How much you tip depends on the price. Last week I got about $90 in services and tipped $20.
12684117, Of course

12684118, it is rude not to.

I'm an mt.

I used to waitress. If I had to pick, I'd say, stiff the waitress, tip the mt.

12684124, as long as I dont consider it a complete waste of time or money, yes
Posted by blkprinceMD05, Wed Dec-24-14 03:08 PM
The last massage I got was the best ever so I gave 20 bid, $5-10 or 20 percent is standard tho
12684239, I thought a 40% tip was customary for a massage
Posted by Wonderl33t, Wed Dec-24-14 06:27 PM
I've never had one, though.

If she massages your prostate too.
12684391, lmao no!!
Posted by nayaa, Wed Dec-24-14 11:40 PM
15-20 and you're fine
12684405, I read recently that a $20 is expected and most get it.

I usually tip $5 or $10. My regular masseuse does it like this, you buy four sessions and the fifth is free. So I tip her $5 per paid session and $20 on the free session, I guess that works out to an $8 tip on average. The sessions are 90 minutes and $75 each. She is fucking incredible though, just a great sense of what's going on in your body and how to make it feel better.
