How much should you tip when receiving a spa service...10-15% of the cost of the service?? Didn't know if there was a "rule of thumb" Thanks.

Spa's are usually high class joints expecting to be tipped well. I think your looking at 18-20%. Being pampered isn't cheap......

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

On a Massage at Gurney's I normally put $20 in the envelope. The last time I was there I put in $10 because I did not like her to much. Now at Gurneys the cost for a 1 hour massage comes to about $140 after all the fees not counting the tip.
I just came back from Acapulco where I was driven on a 4x4 Quad on the beach RT to the middle of the beach where there was an outside cabana set up to give massages by the water. The cost was $25 for a 1 hour massage. I checked my watch when she was done and found that she did not give me an hour. She added an extra 15 min. I gave her $10 extra, You had to see the look on her face that was full of gratitude. I also gave to the girls who took care of my wife and friend. Then I had to tip the Quad driver which I found out afterwards that my wife and friend had already tipped.
Bascily tipping depends on where you are. In the Us they expect the 15-20% tip. In other countrys 10% or less is what many people give.Timeshareforums Shirts and Mugs on sale now! http://www.cafepress.com/ts4msComment

An extra 15 minutes is pretty cool, Frank. Sounds like a happy ending to me."A man that doesn't spend time with his family, can never be a real man" The GodfatherComment

I tend to disregard guidelines and tip based on service rendered. I seldom stiff anybody but it happens every couple of years. Tipping should be an appreciation of a job well done and not something one should expect and tipping basd on service provides an incentive for better service.Comment
