Do you "tip" at a beauty school?

Thread Starter 
I recently bought a certificate for services at a new beauty school here in town.

I haven't gone to a school for services since I was young and my mom paid.

I need to know--can you tip/do you tip at a beauty school?

(I bought a really cool package--haircut, style, makeup, manicure and pedicure for three sessions--I get to do this three times for about $50)

Thanks!

Unless there is a sign to the contrary I would tip especially if your happy with the service.

I would...and with a gift certificate, you should tip for what those services would cost if you actually bought them. Kwim? Like if you went in and got a haircut and it cost $30.00, you might tip $6 (20%). If you have a $30.00 gift certificate, you should tip the same.

The rule of thumb for salons is typically 10-15%. I usually tip at least 20% unless I'm unhappy for some reason.

I attended a vocational high school and the cosmotology dept. would accept patrons. And yes they expected tips there.

Sounds like you got a great deal!! I go to a beauty school quite a bit and I always tip. They always seem surprised so I don't know if you're supposed to. I figure I'm already getting a great deal on the service and want to reward them for doing a good job so they'll keep working hard to do well.

I've always tipped when I've gone to schools for services. They are offering the same services as a salon at a reduced price. If you like the service, tip what you feel you can
