 Tipping a groomer
My husband and I are hopefully trying out a new groomer this weekend (waiting to hear back about appointment times, they are closed on Mondays) because we are tired of paying the price at Petsmart and never getting her hair done the way we want it. I also think something happened to her there last time she was groomed because she won't even go near the door to go in the grooming place and she used to love going in there.
Anyway, we never tipped Petsmart because we were never happy with what we got for the money we paid (we constantly had to take her back in and have her nails trimmed, face hair evened out etc). The place we are hoping to take her doesn't charge as much and she has 15 years experience with a different place, but decided to branch out and open her own place.
I feel like we will probably end up tipping her but I am not really sure how you determine how much to tip a groomer. The cost for a yorkie is $30, so how much would we tip her on that? I don't want to seem extremely cheap. My husband and I were thinking that a 5 or 6 dollar tip would be fine, but I want to make sure that we aren't giving too much or too little. |
