Draak answered Wednesday June 29 2005, 2:33 am: Even though Trevor-Wolf had a wonderful answer, I feel I must add this. In my personal experience and mindset, if a person does a good job you should always tip 20%. Therefore, if the therapist is charging you $50 a session, a tip of $10 for an excellent job would be respectable. If you feel that the therapist is not exceptional you should always tip at least 15% ($7.50 for a $50 session). The last thing you want to do is make the therapist angry by leaving a piddly tip, especially if you plan on using their services again. Of course, if the therapist is only charging you $15-$20 then Trevor-Wolf's advice would apply, but anything over $30 should be calculated at 15-20% in my opinion.

Trevor-Wolf answered Tuesday June 28 2005, 11:11 pm: Tipping a massage therapist is based on your disgression. It depends on how well of a job you think they did. If you think that they did good, give them a $3-5 tip. If you didnt think that they did so well tip them in the $1-3 range. It is pretty much the same as getting a haircut and tipping the person who cut your hair, because mostly the money paid for the massage is going directly to the therapist. Hope I helped! Rate!
