How much should I tip for a $25 eyebrow wax?

TresChic35 · Aug 29th, 2008, 01:06 PM

I'm going to the spa in an hour...

I usually give $7, but is that enough?

I might get more stuff done at the spa...how much should I tip for around $35?

Depends how good it is....yeesh, 25 for a brow? My day spa charges 16. One of my old coworkers still does my nails and waxing, and I get a 'discount' on stuff

What other services might you get? If you normally tip 7 for 25, the proportional amount for about 35 dollars is a 10 dollar tip.

I had this tipping chart for various different places, and things like a salon and spa should be 15%-20% base so you should be good. If you always get the same person who does your eyebrows though, I'd tip more.

anywhere between 3.75 and 5.00. (15% to 20%)

Wow, thanks ladies! It seems like I'm over-tipping for eyebrows, but at least they do the best eyebrows in the city!

Candance117, yes they do charge a lot, but this is a spa located in Copley's Westin Hotel... So I guess its worth it? Haha... :)

before I saw you already tip $7, I was going to recommend $5. 20% is perfect usually for a personal service.

When it comes to beauty treatments, all that matters is that it is worth it to YOU and you get the results you want

I go to an Anastasia eyebrow artist. She charges $30 and I gave her a $5.00 tip. She's great and I'll go to her every 4-6 weeks!! I can't go every two weeks my eyebrows are too sparse!!
