You're Not a Cheapskate If... ...Your tips generally fall within the 15 to 20 percent range. But don't go thinking that the more you spend on services, the less you can shell out on gratuity.
"Think of it as a fine dining experience," says Carol Phillips, owner of Skinsational Day Spa in San Diego, Calif. "The more fine dining it is, the higher percentage your tip should be, if it's commensurate with the service. If you're in a high-end salon, 18 to 20 percent. If you're in a budget facility, you might be at 15 percent or a little less," she says.
