Do you tip your waxer?

I'm getting a bikini wax ($25), how much should I tip? I usually tip my hair stylist around 10%.

  • I would tip $5.

  • Yes, it is customary to tip your aesthetician.  I usually tip 20%, but I think between 15% and 20% is acceptable.  For a $25 wax, I would just pay $30 even.  I just had a Brazilian a couple days ago.  It was $45 and I tipped $10 to make it $55 total.  I would have done $9 (since that is 20%).  But it is so much easier to deal with 5s and 0s in the checkbook register lol.

  • I generally tip my hairstylist between 15-20% ($20 for a $100 cut/dye/style). So, like pp I would do $5. 
  • I'm usually pretty generous since it's a delicate area and it takes some skill to do a good job. Plus, I always go to the same woman. I usually tip 20% (I also tip my hairstylist 20%).

    Ok - where are you getting waxed?! A bikini way around here is $50 and a brazilian is $80-$100!!!

  • $5.

    I get my upper lip and eyebrows waxed monthly.  It's usually around $18 total.  I tip between $7-$10 because I never make an appointment and they always get me right in.
