As a professional manicurist for 15 years, and working both in shops and out of my home, I set my price and didn't expect anymore. They paid the amount that I asked and if they wanted to tip that was just a little extra. But I didn't and would never treat my clients any different if they did or didn't tip me. We are trained professionals and I feel we should behave that way, in any profession. I do tip my hairdresser and my groomer, but because that is my choice. I never tip more than $5. |
