While most people tip between 15 to 25 percent for a job well done, consider that services requiring extra skill and care may deserve a more generous tip if you’re happy with the work. Most salons allow adding gratuity to credit cards. Tipping the receptionist is not required but a thoughtful gesture.
Waxing Frequency and Tips
How long between waxes? After your first wax, go every three to four weeks. You’ll never want to shave again! You can get waxed during your period.
- For a quick brow wax, a couple dollars is appropriate.
- Find a waxing specialist and do your homework to avoid red flags.
- Avoid tanning 24 hours before an appointment as skin will be more sensitive.
Determining the Tip Amount
The usual gratuity should be 15 to 20 percent, with more for an exceptional service and result. If you’ve had a bad experience with your waxer, it’s best to speak to the salon manager so they can address the situation. Tipping your waxer is based on various factors, including service quality, satisfaction, and financial situation.
Cleaning Up Beforehand
Waxers often get asked certain questions, and almost always, the answer is no. However, not cleaning up beforehand is something that will gross out your waxer.
FAQs: Tipping Your Waxer
Are you supposed to tip your waxer? Yes, it’s customary to tip 15%-20%, which is the industry standard average tip for a waxing service like a Brazilian wax. Feel free to go lower if unsatisfied, but ask for a modification first.
