Tipping beauty salons for Citydeal offers?

Jessica Fletcher

Hoping someone can advise on this one please

I was just wondering what I should be giving as a tip when my series of treatments didn't cost the full price? The deal cost about €150 but was something like 80% off full price, there isn't a hope I could have afforded it otherwise! I was wondering what or how much I should give - a gift of some sort, a set amount of money, a percentage of the original cost, a percentage of what I paid, or something else? And should I give something on each visit or on the last one? As far as I know the same person will be carrying out each treatment, and she's not the salon owner.

I was going to post in the consumer section but thought this was where the beauty salon regulars would be

I'm clueless - any replies appreciated!

You're not obliged to give anything - seriously you'e paid for the service! I would probably feel embarassed taking out my wallet to tip if I wasnt paying them at the time.

If you really feel obliged maybe give a tenner in an envelope at the end?

I never tip in a hairdresser or anywhere like that. The treatments tend to be quite expensive as it is.

I always tip if I got a good service - regardless if they're the owner or an employee. If something cost 45 I just give 50 and tell them to keep the change. But its only if the service was good.

If i go to a restaurant or a salon and i'm left waiting for ages or the experience is unpleasant, I dont tip.

I think it would be odd to give a gift - people prefer cash

If I was very happy with the service I would tip afew euro, no need to give a tenner or anything

With citydeal the salon or whoever is runing the deal only get 50% of the taking they have already discounted, its good for them for repeat business or whatever so I always tip but no your certainly not obliged plus it depends on how happy you were with the service regardsless how much you pay!

Thanks very much everyone, if I'm happy with it I'll give something so, but feel under less pressure now!
