I just had the second manicure and pedicure of my life today and I feel sooooo decadent! I love it! I have a feeling that I may have overtipped though, which is fine, because I think the girl deserved it but I want to know what is typical. Thank you!!

Oh, for the record, I had a mani/pedi with color for $38 dollars and gave her $48.

I think the 15-20% rule applies as with hair salon services. I always give $3-$4 on a $20 pedicure. I mean if you feel she really did a great job, then tip what you feel is fair. That was really cool of you.

Hi I Am Not Banded Yet. But I Can Answer This Question. I Have My Nails Done Every 10 Days Crystal Gel And A Pedi. The Cost Of This $35.00

I Tip The Girl Who Does My Pedi $3.00. She Also Keeps $8.00 Of The $15.00 Pedi. The Girl Who Does My Fill In Is The Owner. I Don't Tip Her. She Keeps The Rest Of The Money.

All Nail Techs Keep 60% (fills-full Sets-gel-pink-perm White- Etc), The House Gets 40%.

Women and their dang nails. How are you supposed to do any work?!

I get my mom's done for her, the charge is 12 for nails and I tip $3. 25% tip.

I usually tip $5 if I just get a manicure, $10 for a mani/pedi.

Women and their dang nails. How are you supposed to do any work?!

Men and their damn football, baseball, basketball, hockey, bowling, fishing, soccer, rugby, tennis, australian rules football, golf, and porn.

How are you supposed to do any work? :eek:

those all qualify as work!

$15 and $20 for a pedi!! Gawd, I'm so envious. The least expensive around here is $30. They usually run about $45 or $50.

It's the one thing I have to have done. I'm in sandals almost year round. I only put on regular shoes when the snow gets above the cork line.

I usually tip $5 for a mani & pedi....And $2 for eyebrow waxing.

We dont tip in Australia.

Jachut, that's great! It means that you pay your waitresses, etc., a living wage without them having to rely on tips!

Thanks everyone for your input, I guess I've been right on the money! =)

I usually tip $5 each to the girl who does my nails and toes, an extra $3 if I get an eyebrow wax.

I tip $5.00 for a fill, $10.00 for a new set, and $10.00 for pedicure.

I just switched to the gel nails and I love them.

Wow, you are a good tipper. I give 15% or round it off if close. I would have tipped $5.00 on your bill.

Normally my tip depends on if the same girl does both the mani and pedi. If it's the same girl then I just give her a flat $20 for tip. If it's two different women/men then I tip $10 for the mani and $15 for the pedi. In my opinion there's a lil more work involved with the pedi, especially since I always have designs added on! My mani's run about $40 and pedi's are usually anywhere betten $50-$60 depending on what designs I choose.
