How much tip should i leave my massage therapist?

Question

in california central valley...

Answer 1

Probably 15% of the fee.  Maybe 20% if it was exceptional.

Answer 2

I would tip 20% of the tab before tax if any and that is $4.00 for every $20  

Answer 3

WHOAAAA!!!

Now hold ON there one minute, folks!!!

We HAVE to make the distinction between a therapist which is doing it for MEDICAL purposes (physical therapy, prescribed by physician), or this is simply a "personal" massage for pleasure!!!

I mean, would you tip your NURSE or DOCTOR?  You would be insulting the therapist if this is for medical reasons!

If the massage is for personal, pleasure, then the tip should follow the normal 15-20%.

Have a polite day.

Answer 4

My massage therapist charges $75 and I give her $100, in cash.  I figure anyone who is prepared to do all she does to my almost naked body is definitely worth a good tip.
