How do I tip the people at a day spa?

Question

My boyfriend is giving me a day at a spa for my birthday. They only want to be tipped in cash. The total for the day is almost $600.00. I am only going because it is a gift. I can't afford to go otherwise.

How do I handle tipping all of the people who are going to work on me?

Answer 1

give tem 1 dollar each

Answer 2

at the front desk you can give the money to the receptionist and tell her how much you want her to give each person or you can just give it individually to each person after they've completed their service.

Answer 3

I think that cash is the preferred method.  I tried to use hot wings to tip a doorman, once.  He didn't appreciate it very much....

Answer 4

well since the recession is going on from 5 - 1 dollars

Answer 5

Depending on how Good they are to you. I would take between 60.00 and 100.00 bucks and tip those that were exceptionally good. As for the BOYFRIEND? Give that Boy a hug like he`s never had before.

Answer 6

It's going to be tricky...you might be successful with a few of them, but catching all of those people off guard so that you can "tip" them (over ;) is going to be hard to do.  Some of them are bound to get wise to you...lol.  Honestly, I don't know that you would have to tip all of them.  I am a massage therapist, also, and I can tell you that not everyone tips and that's okay.  Appreciated when it happens, yes, but I did not expect it.  Have fun and by all means RELAX or you will undo all of their hard work.

Answer 7

That sucks!

Tell them you will give htem a tip at the end and leave a few 10's at the front desk-so you won't be embarrassed by handing them peanuts when they are used to alot more.

Answer 8

This was a gift, the giver should have taken care of the tip. If that is not the case then simply give one tip to the person who checks you in and instruct that person to divide it amongs those who will be providing services to you that day. They are not new to this and know that you are there to relax, not to play banker. A percentage of the whole amount would be sufficient, I would say no less than $50.00. Then, collect it from your boyfriend, in trade, after you are all fresh and sweet smelling.

have fun

Answer 9

Usually there is a  basket in each room for you to leave the tip. I dont know how much you have but if you have $25 to your name give each person five dollars... or depending on how they did use your judgement... if they deserve a dollar give them a dollar they usually walk out of the room so if you are worried about bwing embarrased you shouldnt be. Plus everyone knows the economy is bad right now...Times are ROUGH!
