    Hey all,
    I was wondering how much you leave for a massage as a tip? If this has been covered, so sorry but I'm on my phone.

    I had a couple of things done and now I feel guilty in case I didn't leave enough.

    I haven't had many admittedly, but I don't think I have ever have actually left a tip.



    I haven't had one in a very long time so I may not be the best to ask. But I wouldn't generally tip a masseuse.



    Are we doing that now?


    I am not doing that now.

    They've touched my body we are beyond tips.

    I've never tipped either. As ElleEm said, they are expensive enough. The only thing I'd generally tip for would be restaurants and taxis.

    :D

    I think I shall just say thank you and leave it at that! They are expensive enough.

    No one ever pays me for my foot massages! :( (although they do sometimes make pleasing noises)

    Phew, glad to see other people don't tip for this! Thought I'd missed the boat :P

    Not that I've had many massages, but they're bloody expensive as it is, it never even occurred to me to tip!

    They may be expensive, but as a beauty/massage therapist who worked for minimum wage and had to do All the massages in the salon! Just two euro can make such a difference to someone who has just put a lot of effort into your massage and make them feel appreciated..

    I have worked in pubs/hotels where you get more tips, I never understand this...

    I can't speak for every therapist but I do my best to please Every client and make them feel as comfortable as possible, then feel like poo when the client just says thank you bye

    Just another point of view :-)
