How much to tip at a spa?

I got a spa GC and I'm going for a massage, facial, waxing, mani & pedi. I think they'll each be given by different people, so how much should I tip and when do I tip them?

Re: How much to tip at a spa?

I usually tip 15-20% of the price of each treatment individually.

ENJOY!

It is customary to tip 20%(of the service) to each therapist. Many spas will offer you envelopes at the end of your "spa day" with the therapist's names on them so you can put their tip in the envelopes individually. If they don't offer you can ask. You can write your name and "Thank You" so they know the gratuity is from you.
You can also try to give them their tips in person but sometimes after they leave the room they're MIA!

HTH.

Yes, about 15-20%

I had someone who had a GC yesterday and she did not tip ANYONE. She was at the spa for over 5 hours. Took her time during the day. Got 5 people to work on her and she just left... THANKS A LOT!

The spa I work at does not include gratuity on GC. Unless it's a full day package.

They should have enveloppes at the front desk. You can also charge sometimes on the credit card.
