You’re feeling loose and relaxed after getting a massage, but should you leave your therapist a tip? Whether you visit the spa regularly or are just occasionally treating yourself, tipping your massage therapist lets them know you’re happy with their service. While massage tipping etiquette varies depending on the location, there are still some standards for how much extra to give your therapist. Keep reading and we’ll cover when it’s appropriate to give a tip and how much to budget for it.
Things You Should Know
- Give your massage therapist a 15–20% tip for their services. If you’re feeling generous and you’re happy with your massage, add more to your tip.
- Leave a 15% tip even if you’re not happy with your service. Mention any issues you had to your massage therapist so they can adjust for the next time.
- If you can’t afford to tip, thank your massage therapist and refer them to your friends or family members. If you know the masseuse well, get them a small gift instead.
