tipping

I've done a bit of a search, but no real "clear cut" answer found when it comes to tipping an INDY MA. I know it's typical to tip based on the services recieved and how happy you are with them, but since 100% of the session money is going straight to the MA, is it still expected?

Just curious.......Do you tip before or after a session? I noticed in another thread that some of you said that tipping will get you better service, but aren't you suppose tip afterwards based on the service? Also what is an average amount to tip?

I was being sarcastic babe. But if ur going to places giving u rushed, disinterested service, u are going to the wrong spas! Most spas with a receptionist keep an eye on time, certain spas also train their staff about rushing/the value the client expects/quality control. Sweeety is talking about...

Quick question to you all. What makes you tip the MPA? When she gives you the unexpected service?........ maybe unexpected is not the word but rather a better than expected performance? Here's how I look at it. And I have to quote Forrest Gump on this: It's like a box of chocolate. You...

I've always been afraid to ask this question. Here's the scenerio. You go into a massage spa and pay the $40 door fee. I then choose to get a massage consisting of no extras. For example the woman isn't even topless. She winds up giving me a massage and at the end of it gives me an HJ...

I received a gift card to cover a massage for 1.5 hours, but it doesn't include gratuity. How much of a tip should I give? Forgot to mention it covers $55

Should you tip a massage therapist when it's for medical reasons at a physio clinic rather than at a spa for relaxation?

How much do you tip when you get a 1 hour massage?

Normally when I receive a service -- haircut, waitresses, massage, etc. I give the person a tip. However, my chiropractor just added a massage therapist to his office and it is covered by my medical insurance. I've had two massages and didn't tip -- it wasn't until a few days ago that I...

I recently had a 30 minute, full body "Mall Massage" which was done in a separate room away from Mall spectators. There was no disrobing or oils used, as in spa-type massages. The cost was $28. What should the tip % have been?
