Posted on: April 9, 2012
Many times clients are not sure if they should tip their massage therapist. They wonder if it is the appropriate thing to do and how much tip should be given. As the massage therapist, it is up to you to delicately inform your clients about tipping policies. This should always be done at an appropriate time. It may not be a comfortable topic but since it is a portion of a massage therapist’s salary, it should be discussed.The amount of tip that you can advise you client as standard depends upon the setting in which you work. If you work in a spa or a hotel, a fifteen to twenty percent tip is standard if they client was pleased with your services. This is usually displayed on a discrete sign by the front desk. If you are self-employed, it is important to be honest with your clients about your tipping policy the first time they come to see you. If you are working for someone else, you should first speak to them about how to handle tipping policies.
