Do a really great job, it is about an hour long, and it costs $20.00. I paid $20 and tipped her $5 in cash, thinking I was being generous. She was gracious, but later when she thought I couldn't hear her she grumbled and scoffed to the other workers about how she ';only'; got $5.
Again, I thought I was being generous with a 25% tip (thinking 15% is normal). Was I off the mark?
I blushed and left quickly.
Thanks!Salon/spa employees...I have a tip question. I had a pedicure done today at the place I ususally go. They?
tips are one of those tricky subjects.. I think you gave her a fair amount, and she's just ungrateful.. in theory you didn't have to tip her at all (she gets paid a wage and should be happy to get any tip at all, especially seeing as she's so ungrateful for those that she does get lol) if I were you I would continue to go there and not tip her at all anymore!! Then perhaps she'll appreciate the next $5 tip she gets :P (or go there and have someone else do your nails, then tip them twice as much! lol I'm so mean sometimes, but that's so rude!! Even to say it without you hearing it, she doesn't deserve your tips with an attitude like that)Salon/spa employees...I have a tip question. I had a pedicure done today at the place I ususally go. They?
i think you did right, that's what I tip too but my pedicure never last no hour..they are always so busy. next time if you get her again in fact ask for her and when shes done..hand her a piece of paper that says TIP and inside write ..my tip to you today is don't complain to coworkers in front of customers about a $5.00 tip. Then you might have actually got one today. Sincerely, Karma..:)
No, 5 dollars is fine! People usually want more and it's supposed to be 15% anyway.I work in a beauy salon i usually get 15% or 5 dollars when people feel generous.Don't worry people can sometimes want more you know they are never satisfied!!
After I give a nice deluxe pedicure to my customers, I still get paid $5 tip at the most. It's a very nice tip, cuz people usually don't tip at all, or just leave a dollar or two.
You should have gone back and asked her what the hell she meant by ''only 5 bucks''.
Stand up for yourself, don't be apushover.
wow, i think that's messed up! i would never go back there again. and to be honest...if i heard somebody say that when they thought i couldn't hear them...i would simply walk to the person who did my nails and just grab the cash out of her hand.

Pedicure S.O.S!!! I need to know what they use in the spa...?
I would like to do my own pedicures and I want to know what products they use in the nail salon and spas to make your feet feel soft and smooth. If anyone knows, please inform me. Thanks!Pedicure S.O.S!!! I need to know what they use in the spa...?
They use a sloughing lotion, that sloughs off all of the dead skin. They also use a foot file to remove any tough skin on the soles and heels. Then some super moisturizing lotion.Pedicure S.O.S!!! I need to know what they use in the spa...?
I've never personally had a professional pedi mainly because it's so unsanitary. I have given myself awesome pedis for years though. Here are some tips:
鈥irst soak ur feet in hot water with some foot soak or bath salts for like 20 minutes
鈥hen clean all that icky gunk out from around your nails, then cut straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Then file to make sure the edges are smooth.
鈥se a pedegg or a pumice stone on your rough spots and you'll see dead skin just peel off, it's awesome how soft pumice stones make your feet.
鈥hen use a nail brush to make sure there is nothing left on your nails that will keep polish from looking smooth. Make sure you use a base coat to prevent your nails from staining yellow. Apply 2 coats of color and 1 coat of clear on top
鈥fter your nails are dry, use a thick moisturizer like a body butter or bath and body works true blue spa shea it isn't so foot cream. It works awesome and smells so clean! Never moisturize before painting because oil keeps polish from sticking long so you'll have chips faster.
鈥lso, if you have a problem with foot odor, buy some tea tree oil and either massage directly to your feet or add to your foot soak. It smells really strong at first but after you get familar with it it smells wonderful. It works wonders for tons of skin problems. I've had acne for 10 years and this past year has been moderate to severe. After giving up on chemicals like retin a micro and proactiv and many many others, I started using tea tree oil and my skin is almost completely clear now. It also works well as an antiseptic on minor scrapes and cuts.

I'm a guy n I'm going to the spa for a manicure+pedicure+facial. Should I add in a body treatment n massage?
I'm a 22 yr old guy. I'm graduating from college at the end of this week. I had heard about guys going to spas, so i figured what the heck... and I scheduled a manicure, pedicure and facial at a spa. Its scheduled for right after finals, a few days before the graduation ceremony I already asked about this on Yahoo answers before and the general consensus seemed to approve. If you have any thoughts on this let me know. Now my new question is this.... Should I call and add in a massage too? They have 30 min massage for $45 and 60 min massage for $75. I also noticed they do body treatments. Should I do one of these too? The have a choice of Custom Exfoliation Treatment, Hungarian Herbal Mud Treatment, and Honey-Carrot-Flax Seed Treatment. Is it a appropriate for a guy to get one of these? Also could i do all of the above, manicure and pedicure and facial and massage and body treatment all in one day? Also what are the processes like? Let me know your thoughts.
-Thanks

Real guys do go to spas - treat yourself, you deserve it. Definitely sign up for the massage - it is Heaven!I'm a guy n I'm going to the spa for a manicure+pedicure+facial. Should I add in a body treatment n massage?
If you are considering getting that many services done on the same day you may want to see if they offer packages that include several treatments. This may save you money. As far as dressing for the spa you can wear whatever you want because as soon as you get there you will change into a robe and sandals that they will provide.
THat's a LOT to have done in one day, makes for a very long day. I've never scheduled so many things at once. Usually, they can't fit you in for all of that in one day.
If you are having all this in one day, have the mud treatment first and mani/pedi last. You don't want to mess up a nice mani-pedi. Just a thought...
lol haha ur kidding right? *shakes head and chuckles* nail polish on a guy.................. i %26lt;3 the masages on the feet but since ur a guy it's really wierd. there's never been a guy except 4 a masage there
Go and get the lot done,it would feel fantastic,just don't get coloured nails,clear would be fine.
Real men don't go to spas!
Snap.

don't lisetening to that a** guys do go to the spa and Do whatever you want

My husband got me a great gift certificate for Valentines Day at the spa. It's for a massage, pedicure, facial
,and haircut. Three different people will be working on me. I need help on how much I should tip each one.My husband got me a great gift certificate for Valentines Day at the spa. It's for a massage, pedicure, facial
You can tip each one according to how much you like their service.I would be happy with a tip of 20% of service cost.
So,haircut is $35.00,you would tip $7.00...You see.
Pedicure is $35.00,you would tip another,$7.00.
Same with Massage 20% of cost of massage.
Have fun,sounds really nice .My husband got me a great gift certificate for Valentines Day at the spa. It's for a massage, pedicure, facial
20%( +/-) for each different employee.
The massage person will work on you the longest. $10
Give the others between $3-5.
Only tip if there is a happy ending involved, and then probably 20% would be appropriate.
Firstly, in my opinion, You should tip -only- if you like the job they've done. Secondly, when I have spa days, I tip between 3-7 dollars a person. If you absolutely adore the way you look, I would go as much as 10 dollars a person.
you can tip 10% of total cost of sevices
one who does massage should be tipped more
Call the salon, ask how much each service would cost (as if you were paying for it instead of using a gift certificate) and tip 25% of the cost of the service.
i dont think you should tip them. Your husband bought you the certificate there for you shouldnt have to pay any thing else..... Thats why its a gift certificate.. :)eyeshadow brush

What is a silk wrap for nails?do you prefer a pedicure or manicure or manicure for my first spa visit?
I am going to a spa for my birthday and am wondering if I should get a manicure or pedicure? my toenails are all mest up, and short and the skin around them are gross, can they fix them. do facials work?, and do you have to be completely naked for a massage? can you wear a takini for a massage? i dont want to show anything! thats ambarrsing! how do you now a spa is good? to get a french manicure, do your nails need to be long? please answer as many ?'s as possible, give me advice pleaseWhat is a silk wrap for nails?do you prefer a pedicure or manicure or manicure for my first spa visit?
In a silk wrap, they add silk fibers to your nails and seal it for strength. As far as me, I would 10 times rather have a pedicure than a manicure. It's so relaxing! And, it can sometimes be hard to get all the rough skin, and clean up little toenails yourself (because you have to bend over, while the salon person has more leverage). You can keep as little or as much on for the massage as you want. If you don't want to show too much, just do what feels comfortable. They will keep whatever part they're not massaging covered with a towel. Remember, they see bodies all day...my friend's dad who is an ob-gyn says that he never understands why women are uncomfortable getting pelvic exams. He says that he does so many, that it's just automatic--they all seem the same, and he doesn't ever notice if people shave or whatever. lol I'm sure massage therapists are the same way. If you want to be modest, you could wear boy shorts and a sports bra. Enjoy!What is a silk wrap for nails?do you prefer a pedicure or manicure or manicure for my first spa visit?
i would do a pedicure and as far as the massage goes i wouldn't worry about it because your not completely naked and you have a towl over you
