How much should I tip the masseuse for a massage?

Lady lmawreck asked:


I’m getting a deep tissue massage that will cost 75 dollars for and hour. Assuming he does a average to good job, what is appropriate amount for a tip?

15-20%, SAME AS A WAITER OR HAIRDRESSER. Unless the tip is already included.

If he’s a freelancer then you don’t have to tip him because he’ll have the whole $75 anyway, and most probably won’t pay taxes on it!
If it’s in a spa, then $10 - $15 is fine.

i typically tip around 30 - 50% for a great job. if they don’t do a great job i let them know where to take some classes to get better and leave a smaller tip. absolutely no less than $10.
