Tipping for lash services
When it comes to beauty services, there is often confusion about how much to tip. For lash techs, its common to tip 15-20%. Tipping is a way to show your appreciation for a job well done. It is also a way to ensure that you will get good service in the future.
How much to tip for a lash service
It’s always appreciated to tip your lash technician, especially if you’re happy with the results of your service. But how much should you give?
Here’s a general guide:
-For a basic lash service, 15-20% is appropriate.
-For a more advanced service, like a lash lift or tint, 20-25% is appropriate.
-And for extra special services, like a Russian volume set or extensions, 25% and up is appropriate.
Of course, you can always give more or less depending on your budget and how satisfied you are with the service. Your lash technician will definitely appreciate it either way!
What is the average tip for a lash service?
As with any service industry, it is customary to leave a gratuity (tip) for your lash technician. The average tip for a lash service is 15-20%, with some clients choosing to leave more for exceptional service. If you are unsure of what to tip, ask the front desk staff for their recommendation.
Tipping for other beauty services
How much do you tip a Lash Tech? This can be a difficult question because it is not always clear what the standard is. The best way to figure out how much to tip is to think about how much the service would cost if you had to pay for it out of pocket. For example, if a Lash Tech charges $100 for a full set of lashes, you might want to tip $20.
How much to tip for other beauty services
How much you tip for other beauty services—such as hair, nails, or makeup—is entirely up to you. However, industry experts typically recommend tipping 15 to 20 percent of the total bill. So, if your hair stylist charges $100 for a cut and color, you would likely want to tip them between $15 and $20.

SPA Etiquette: How Much Should You Tip for Different Services?
Tipping for spa services can be confusing. How much should you tip for a massage, manicure, or pedicure? We talked to a few spa experts to get the skinny on gratuities so you can relax and enjoy your service — without worrying about how much to leave your provider.
Massages
The standard tip for a massage is 20 percent of the cost of the service. So, if you had a $100 massage, you would leave a $20 tip. Although 20 percent is the standard rate, feel free to adjust your tip based on how happy you were with the service. If you received an amazing massage that really helped relieve some pain and tension, consider tipping more. If the massage felt rushed or didn’t meet your expectations, consider tipping less or even leaving no tip at all.
Manicures and Pedicures
For mani/pedis in a salon, it’s standard to tip 15–20 percent of the bill. If you’re getting your nails done at a spa, however, 20 percent is still appropriate. Some spas add an automatic gratuity of 15–20 percent on top of the service cost, so be sure to ask before you add an additional gratuity on top of that amount. For example, if your manicure cost$30 and the spa tacks on an 18 percent gratuity, you would only need to leave an additional 2 percent tip — or $0.60 — for a total of $3.60 gratuity on a $30 service.
Facials
For facials in salons and spas, a 15–20 percent gratuity is appreciated. If steam is incorporated into your facial or if extra time is spent massaging your neck and shoulders, consider increasing your tip to 25 percent. Some spas add an automatic 20 percent gratuity to their services; again, just be sure to ask before adding more money to the pot.
